The tonic is stored in the refrigerator, and you can use it 2-3 times a day.

Pharmacies help in the struggle for youth
It is not necessary to prepare means for preserving and restoring the youthfulness of the facial skin, you can buy several pharmaceutical ointments or creams:
- retinoic ointment;
- solcoseryl ointment;
- anti aging face cream (various brands).
Retinoic ointment is an excellent antibacterial agent for various skin blemishes: acne, rashes, redness, which appear stronger on the skin with age and take longer. All means to fight defects should be applied to them, this ointment is no exception. Clean and healthy skin looks much younger and more beautiful, so you need to get rid of unpleasant manifestations.
Solcoseryl ointment - a drug to increase the penetration of oxygen into the tissues. With age, the pores of the skin pass this gas into the epithelium worse, which gradually affects its condition: it becomes dry, peels off, the tissue loses tone, looks sluggish. Solcoseryl is applied to the entire face in a thin layer, gently rubbing into the face. Also, for people with sensitive skin, it is permissible to "dilute" the ointment with a nourishing or moisturizing cream.
Anti-aging creams are an equally popular and widely advertised remedy, credited with truly unimaginable effects: smoothing deep wrinkles, tightening skin, and so on. Almost all cosmetic companies produce a range of creams for aging skin, promising a rejuvenating effect. But it must be understood that this is only part of the truth. Age-related facial cosmetics can really smooth out tiny wrinkles or smooth out unpleasant blemishes, but no product can nourish skin with collagen and address deep skin folds.
Such creams nourish, replenish the supply of vitamins and minerals, but do not create any "miracle". They can be used in combination with other procedures, and when choosing, you should focus on the specified age.
General recommendations
It's not enough to just rub something on the skin and hope for a miracle! You need to change your lifestyle:
- menu revision
- make a sleep schedule
- work;
- find the optimal cosmetic therapy (massage, mask, peeling);
- reduce stress.
The menu of a person who wants to rejuvenate should contain natural products: vegetables (greens and legumes), fruits (citrus fruits), nuts and dried fruits, dairy products (except butter), vegetable oils. The first and fourth groups contain proteins and B vitamins necessary for the body, the second - antioxidant vitamin C, the third and last contain a lot of E, which are called "vitamins of youth". You can also buy vitamin and mineral complexes for certain ages.
You need to sleep at least 8 hours, because all the defects of sleep deprivation are visible on tired skin, and bags under the eyes in adult women disappear longer than in young women.
Exercise loads allow the skin to breathe, enriching it with oxygen, which makes the face fresher, smoothes wrinkles, and removes excess subcutaneous deposits.
It is also important to contact a beautician, as it can be quite difficult to do a massage or professional therapy for yourself.
Skin rejuvenation at home is possible, but for this you need to make an effort, and all procedures should be regular. You can not do without the implementation of the recommendations, only then the skin will again breathe young and beautiful.
