After that, a contrast shower is desirable, which will invigorate your body and spirit and fill it with a supply of energy that is so necessary before New Year’s Eve, because you would not want to fall asleep from fatigue after one glass of champagne.

After water treatments, take care of your face – rub it with an ice cube for a few minutes along the massage lines, this will help to quickly put the skin in order. Just don’t dry it with a towel – let it dry out on its own. It is desirable that the cube be made from frozen mineral water or decoctions of nettle herb, chamomile flowers or calendula.

Next, apply a mask of cucumber and sour cream to the skin, and lie down with it for about 20 minutes so that all the beneficial substances get as deep as possible, then rinse, moisturize the skin with a light cream and feel free to start makeup.
