Skin Care Center

Health and beauty of skin is based on two factors: personal genetic predisposition to healthy skin or to certain skin problems and caring of a person for the skin. The second point is especially important because it is what a person can really do to improve the condition of his/her own skin.

However, the attitude of men and women to skin care differs greatly. While the majority of men underestimate the role of skin in ensuring the healthy condition of the whole organism, all the women, considering it to be the first visual representation of female charm, pay so much attention and money to skin care, that it sometimes brings more harm than benefits.

That is why, it is vitally important to find the “golden middle” in skin caring. Balance between maintaining the healthy condition of skin, hiding or treating its drawbacks and underlining its highlights is what will make any person’s appearance natural and beautiful.
