- 2 facial toner: mist, spray or lotions.
- 3 cell renovator: exfoliating (creams or gels with microparticles) or enzymatic peels, performed once a week.
- 4 optional facial mask to be performed once a week.
- 5 In this step we can use serums, ampoules, moisturizing creams and emulsions, anti-aging, etc.
- 6 Use of sunscreen to avoid the formation of new macules and hyperpigmentation.
- Steps 1, 2, 5, and 6 must be performed daily.
This routine allows us to provide comfort to our skin in moments where we can only be in contact with ourselves remembering the biosafety measures mentioned by doctors and the media. It is a time to acquire good habits that often cost us due to lack of time or other reasons.
However, lack of rest, stress and poor diet can make your skin dull, without light, that is why if you want to give it luminosity, you can make the following homemade mask:
– A tablespoon of unsweetened plain yogurt
– A tablespoon of turmeric
Mix the three ingredients, apply with a brush on clean skin.
“Yogurt has astringent properties, in addition, it is very moisturizing. Honey is one of the usual ingredients in natural cosmetics due to its multiple properties: it is moisturizing, a natural exfoliator, antioxidant and nourishing. And turmeric, a spice widely used in Indian cuisine, also has various benefits for the skin such as reducing oil, acting as an exfoliator, and providing shine ”, concluded the expert.
