Compresses: facial skin care

Facial skin is one of the most sensitive parts of our body that requires constant care. Regular use of compresses can help improve skin condition, relieve inflammation, moisturize and tighten pores. In this article we will look at how using compresses can help in caring for your facial skin, as well as what types of compresses are most effective.

Hot compresses

Hot compresses are one of the most effective ways to care for your skin. They help improve blood circulation, enlarge pores, relieve inflammation and moisturize the skin. Hot compresses with herbal infusion are very useful. To prepare them, soak a terry towel in hot water with infusion, wring it out, apply it to your face, folding it so that there is an opening for the mouth. After about three minutes, when the towel has cooled, wet it again in hot water. Repeat the procedure 3-4 times. Then wipe your face with soapy lather and rinse with cold water.

However, you need to remember that not all facial skin tolerates hot procedures equally well. For example, such manipulations can only harm dry and sensitive skin. In such cases, it is recommended to apply warm compresses.

Warm compresses

Warm compresses are a gentler option for facial skin care. They do not cause such a sharp expansion of pores as hot compresses, but they also help relieve inflammation and moisturize the skin. To prepare a warm compress, you can use warm water, and also add herbs and essential oils to it, which will help enhance its beneficial properties.

Which compress to choose?

The choice of compress type depends on the individual characteristics of the skin. If you have dry and sensitive skin, it is better to use warm compresses to avoid drying it out. If you have normal or oily skin, hot compresses may be more effective.

Regular use of compresses will help improve skin condition, relieve inflammation, moisturize and tighten pores. However, it is important to remember that to achieve maximum effect, it is necessary not only to choose the right type of compress, but also to regularly carry out facial skin care procedures, including cleansing, moisturizing and protecting from harmful environmental influences.
