Home care guide
Home care is something that either keeps the skin in good condition or gradually causes problems.
And the main thing is not the quantity of products, but how well they are selected.
Home care can:
• Even out skin color
• Reduce redness and sensitivity
• Remove acne and remove blackheads
. Peeling
• In general, it brings the skin into a stable state.
It can also slightly correct fine wrinkles associated with dehydration.
But it is important to understand the limits.
Cosmetics will not remove deep wrinkles and folds. This already works the muscles and fascia. No cream can relax the facial muscles and straighten the formed wrinkles.
Therefore, the best result always comes from:
•competent home care
•and a combination of work on the face (massage, self-massage, taping)
That’s why I work with massages and procedures – they no longer give results where care and procedures do not complement each other. It works.

The basis without which nothing works
Any maintenance must consist of three stages:
If you don’t have at least one of these, your skincare routine is already not working as well.
⸻
Cleansing
Cleansing is the most underrated step.
And also the most problematic.
In my experience, most skin problems start with improper cleansing in most departments. Aggressive.
At first there is just a feeling of tightness.
Then the following appear:
• Rash
• Blackheads
• Oily sheen
• Or, on the contrary, dryness
That is, you need to start “treating” the skin, although the problem was the destruction of the skin. barrier.
In the morning, if the skin is not oily, you can wash your face only with water.
In the evening, it is mandatory. Mild product.
I choose only such products – without aggressive components that spoil the skin.
Stage 1: Cleaning
Toner
The toner step is the most commonly skipped step. And to no avail.
After washing, the pH of the skin is disturbed.
And pH is the basis on which depends:
• The rate of skin renewal
• The formation of blackheads
• The state of the microbiome
If you skip this stage, skin problems may return.
• Without alcohol
• Without surfactants
• With acidic components
These are my parameters chosen by me.
Stage 2: Mitigation
Day cream
During the day, the skin should be protected.
Especially in Tbilisi, where the sun level is high almost all year round.
In short:
If the UV index is 3 or more, you need SPF.
And normal SPF:
Skin can be safe every day
And which will also take care of it
A good cream solves several problems at once:
•Moisturizing
•Protection
•Antioxidants
No need to apply 3-4 layers of product.
If the index is low in winter, the cream can be used on a regular day.
Stage 3: Day creams
Night cream
The skin is restored at night.
And if during the day we protect more, then at night we nourish and restore it.
The right night cream helps us:
• Restore the barrier
• Improve the condition of the skin
• Work with age-related changes
Bottom line
You don’t need 10 products to make your skin look normal.
Enough:
• Wash
• Tonic
• Day cream
• Night cream
This is a base that already gives results.
⸻
• Additional serums
• Masks
• Peeling
• Products for eye
—This is no longer a basis, but a tool for specific tasks.
If you don’t want to find out,
Most people make the same mistake:
They buy products at random, and then spend years trying to provide their skin with normal care.
When experimenting, it is easier to ask about the choice.
