Tips for beautiful skin

You should exfoliate your face about once a week so that dead skin cells come off and your skin looks rosy. Insider tip: drink a lot! Water is the be-all and end-all for healthy skin cells. Without enough liquid, the water in the skin cells also decreases and the skin appears dull, pale and wrinkled.
Zinc ointment has also proven to be effective for pimples, because zinc has a disinfecting effect with its zinc oxide - similar to tea tree oil. In addition, zinc ointment dries out pimples while at the same time absorbing wound secretions and thus fighting the bacteria.
