Do you want to ensure health and a well-groomed skin appearance? So, after washing your face with a soap or cleansing foam suitable for your type, put these tips into practice – they guarantee a soft, refreshed and younger looking complexion!

Exfoliate (but in moderation)
The ideal is to choose products with softer formulas so as not to harm the surface. Women with an oily face or T-zone or with acne, in particular, will benefit from the habit, as it helps to unclog pores. “The exfoliation should only be done once a week, otherwise it could damage the protective layer of the skin”, warns Claudio Wulkan, dermatologist at the Brazilian Society of Dermatology and Albert Einstein Hospital, in São Paulo.

Bet on the face mask
The use of this type of product has been growing in recent years and it is possible to find items for all skin types: oily, dry, normal, etc. And more: you can decide on the cosmetic based on the type of treatment you are using (for example, there are specific masks for post-laser, post-peeling…) or texture that you like best (cream, film that forms a film, clay, of paper, etc.). Repeat the process up to twice a week.

apply a serum
Do you think moisturizing creams cause excessive shine to the face? Swap them for serums. They work as a kind of primer loaded with substances that care for the health and appearance of your face: they are enriched with antioxidants, vitamin A, C and E, retinol, ferulic acid, among others. “It has a watery texture and is very pleasing because of the sensorial touch”, says Wulkan.

Drink an antioxidant green juice
It’s that old story that beauty comes from the inside out: a balanced diet is reflected in the skin! So throw in a glass of green tea shaken with kale, spinach and other greens every morning to ensure a special glow.
