This can be as a lack of nutrients, vitamins and minerals in the body, as well as improper skin care, as well as aggressive environmental effects, as a result of which the hydro-lipid layer of the skin is disturbed, it often starts to peel off and become stained.

Care must be taken to ensure that care is not very difficult. This applies to both the formulation and the drugs used. The fewer substances affect the skin, the less danger that it will not be able to transfer any of them. This means that you must abandon such a care program when two creams are applied one on top of the other. For example, instead of a day cream and tone, it is advisable to use only a tinting day cream with a moisturizing effect.
Substitute your face as little as possible with ultraviolet rays, and if you go out in the sun, apply a protective preparation with strong light protection filters. Waterproof sunscreen can protect your skin from the aggressive effects of chlorinated pool water.
