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

Pharmacy helps in the fight for youth
It is not necessary to prepare means to preserve and restore the youthfulness of the skin of the face; you can buy some ointments or creams from pharmacy:
- retinoic ointment;
- solcoseryl ointment;
- anti-aging face cream (various brands).
Retinoic ointment is an excellent antibacterial agent for various skin defects: acne, rashes, redness, which appear stronger on the skin with age and take longer. Any remedy against defects must be applied punctually on them, this ointment is no exception. Clean and healthy skin looks much younger and more beautiful, so you need to eliminate unpleasant manifestations.
Solcoseryl ointment - a drug to improve the penetration of oxygen into tissues. With age, the skin pores pass this gas to the worse epithelium, which gradually affects their condition: it becomes dry, flaky, the tissues lose their tone, they look sluggish. Solcoseryl is applied to the entire face in a thin layer, rubbing gently into the face. Also, for people with sensitive skin, it is permissible to "dilute" the ointment with a nourishing or moisturizing cream.
Anti-aging cream is an equally popular and widely publicized remedy, credited with truly unimaginable effects: smoothing deep wrinkles, tightening the skin, and so on. Almost all cosmetic companies produce a series 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 small wrinkles or unsightly blemishes, but no product can nourish the skin with collagen and deal with deep skin folds.
These creams nourish, replenish the supply of vitamins and minerals, but do not create any "magic". They can be used in combination with other procedures, and when choosing, you need to focus on the specified age.
general recommendations
Don't just spread something on your skin and expect a miracle! You need to change your lifestyle:
- review the menu
- make a sleep schedule
- training;
- find ideal cosmetic therapies (massages, masks, peelings);
- reduce stress.
The menu of people who want to rejuvenate must contain natural products: vegetables (greens and legumes), fruits (citrus fruits), nuts and dried fruits, dairy products (except butter), oils of vegetable origin. The first and fourth groups contain the proteins and B vitamins necessary for the body, the second - the antioxidant vitamin C, the third and last contain a lot of E, which is called the "vitamin of youth". You can also buy a vitamin and mineral complex for a certain age.
You need to sleep at least 8 hours, as all the defects of lack of sleep are visible on tired skin, and bags under the eyes in adult women disappear much longer than in young women.
Sports loads make the skin breathe, enrich it with oxygen, which makes the face fresher, smoothes mimic wrinkles and removes excess subcutaneous deposits.
It is also necessary to contact a beautician because it is quite difficult to get yourself a professional massage or therapy.
Skin rejuvenation at home is possible, but it takes effort, and all procedures must be regular. You cannot do without the implementation of the recommendations, only then will the skin breathe youth and beauty again.
