Beauty is a terrible force!And almost all women know this unwritten truth very well. And not only know it, but use it successfully. But, unfortunately, very often this very beauty is spoiled by something. For example, acne on the face. This problem is very common - about every third woman knows about this scourge firsthand. And she tries to fight acne - each in her own way. Some spend huge amounts of money on expensive drugs, and some just try to disguise acne with foundation. And some women approach getting rid of acne in a comprehensive manner. Which, however, is the most correct.
Skin Care
The face needs to be taken care of.And take care of it properly - only in this case you will be able to get rid of acne and prevent its reappearance. And let's start with the simplest thing - with cleansing. It is not for nothing that they say that cleanliness is the key to health.
- Daily cleansing of the skin
The skin of the face must be cleansed at least twicetimes a day. Morning cleansing is necessary to remove the sebum that is produced during the night. If you do not do this, the pores will become clogged. And that means long live acne. In the evening, the skin needs to be cleansed of everything that has accumulated on it during the day - this probably does not need to be explained. Well, if the skin of the face is too oily, then additional cleansing may be needed during the day - at least with the help of a regular lotion. A very important nuance is the temperature of the water for washing. As a rule, it is warm - and this is correct. Hot water slightly expands the pores, removes sebum and dirt from them. But at the end of washing, be sure to rinse your face several times with cold water - it will close these pores back and tone the skin. In the morning, it is enough to wash with ordinary water, without any detergents. As strange as it may sound, even oily skin can be over-dried. So don't overdo it. But in the evening you can't do without a special cleanser, as the skin needs to be cleaned especially thoroughly.

Then cool the chamomile decoction a little and pour it into a deep bowl. Check the temperature of the steam - it should be hot, but not scalding. Lean over the steam, throw a towel over your head - the bath should last at least 10 minutes. If you cannot breathe the steam, make a compress - Soak a terry cloth napkin in chamomile infusion and apply it to your face for 15 minutes. Don't forget - napkins cool down very quickly, so change them.

- Masking tools
At the first signs of acne, a woman beginsintensively mask them, using all kinds of foundation creams and powders. It would seem that everything is quite logical. But here's the paradox - the more you hide them, the more new acne appears. And all because all masking agents clog pores very much, thereby only worsening the situation. Therefore, it would be reasonable to refuse to use them during the treatment period. Well, or, at least, reduce the use of foundation cream to the possible minimum.
