If we compare such concepts as “beauty” and"health", then you can find a lot in common. Of course, by "beauty" everyone means something personal, and everyone looks at this concept from their own point of view. However, there is no point in denying that healthy skin is beautiful skin, since the fact, as they say, is obvious. Nature itself has laid in us - women, a constant desire for improvement. And in this desire we sometimes go to extremes: we follow the emergence of cosmetic novelties, try various methods of rejuvenation on ourselves, turn to plastic surgeons. In general, we turn our skin into a testing ground for experiments and do not think about what this can lead to. Tired of chasing the ideal facial product, dissatisfied with the procedures used in beauty salons, many women stop believing advertising and decide to achieve the desired effect on their own. Those who have studied folk beauty recipes well and know how to use them come to the conclusion that facial skin care at home is no worse than the procedures performed by cosmetologists.
