Tonics for dry skin
Tonic is one of the important cosmetic products for face care. It is especially necessary for owners of dry skin.
What is it needed for
In fact, not many girls use tonics, but all because they do not know the true functions of this wonderful remedy. In the summer, a tonic for dry skin is especially necessary, because it:
- Refreshes the face;
- Narrows enlarged pores;
- Moisturizes;
- Creates a protective layer on the surface of the skin, which significantly reduces moisture loss.
In simple words, the tonic "invigorates" the skin and energizes it. Therefore, it is necessary to use this type of cosmetics, because the skin of the face is constantly exposed to various factors that dry it out:
- Weather;
- dry air;
- Hard water for washing;
- Cosmetic alcohol-containing products.
Agree that modern life cannot exclude these factors, so the use of a tonic is a must.
How to use and prepare tonic yourself
In order to get the maximum benefit from the use of cosmetics, it is necessary to read the instructions before use.
The basic rules of use are as follows:
- It is necessary to apply the product on the face, on which there are no traces of cosmetics.
- Before applying, wipe with any cosmetic product or lotion that will remove impurities and prepare the skin.
- The application of cosmetics should be carried out with a cotton pad with light massaging movements.
Procedures are recommended to be carried out in the morning and evening. After the tonic, you can apply a nourishing cream.
Recipes
You can prepare tonic cosmetics for dry skin on your own from the products that every home has. Here are some interesting recipes:
- Based on strawberries; mash a handful of fresh berries and pour warm milk, leave the mixture for one hour, then strain and mix with a teaspoon of glycerin. Use the mixture in the morning and evening.
- With oatmeal; Pour 30 grams of oatmeal with boiled milk or water so that it turns into a gruel, cover and leave for a while. You can apply the mask both in the morning and in the evening on wet skin.
- Fruit. To cleanse and moisturize a dry face, you can use any juicy and sweet fruits (pear, banana, persimmon, grapes). To prepare a tonic mass, you can squeeze the juice from the fruit, but it is best to knead the fruit and apply the gruel evenly on the face.
If you plan to prepare tonics yourself, then you just need to know how much one or another composition can be stored. If the mixture consists of milk, then it can be kept in the cold for no more than a day, so prepare cosmetics based on it in a small amount so that it is enough for the morning and evening procedures. If the tonic consists of a mixture of herbs and water, then it can be used for two or three days. Fruit and berry mixtures can be stored for more than a day.As for alcohol products, they can be stocked up for future use, because they can stand for up to two weeks and not lose their properties.
