A Good Daily Skin Care Regime Starts with the
Basics
The first step to effective beauty skin care
treatment and to good skin health begins with understanding
your skin type. You could have dry, oily, normal or combination skin. This is essential in picking the right skin
care products based on your skin type.
If it does not suit your
skin type, chances are the dryness or oiliness in the skin could still remain, or in some cases, it
could lead to allergies pimples and blemishes. Consult your dermatologist if you have sensitive skin.
Cleansing, Toning Moisturizing
Cleansing, toning and moisturizing or CTM as it is commonly called, is a
time-tested method to keep your skin healthy and younger. Irrespective of your skin type, lifestyle and skin care
regime, this is a must-follow step for long-term benefits.
Start with cleansing, avoid soaps on the face as they are harsh on the skin;
instead pick a mild face wash that suits your skin type. This will help in cleaning the dirt on the face without
stripping it of the moisture. If you have make up on, remove it with a cleansing milk or baby oil, and follow it up
with a face wash. Excessive washing can dry your skin; washing your face twice a day should do the
trick.
The next step is to tone; it helps in clearing the excess oils and traces of dirt
or make up from the skin. In addition to doing that, toning also help is firming up the skin after a round of
washing. There are astringents and toners from which you could choose.
Moisturizing ensures that your skin is hydrated after cleansing, and it ensures
that the skin retains the required levels of oil content.
Exfoliate
The skin accumulates a lot of dead cells over the days. Exfoliating helps
eliminate dead skin cells and brightens your skin's complexion. However, many skip this routine from their skin
care routine.
Begin by exfoliating your skin with scrubs. Use it around the face and neck and
scrub the surface for 5 to 10 minutes. Avoid harsh strokes.
Follow it up with a fuller's earth pack or a face pack of your choice. This will
help in closing the pores that have been opened as a result of exfoliating.
Your Kitchen is really a Beaty Store
Your kitchen is a treasure trove of natural products to keep your skin in top
shape. Fruits like papaya, watermelon, tomato, honey, lemon and turmeric are a few goodies that you can trust your
skin with. Make a fruit or vegetable face pack, and apply it once a week.
Not only are you providing your skin with beauty benefits, you also minimize the
use of chemicals. Herbs like turmeric and neem, work wonderfully well for blemishes and acne. Thanks to their
anti-bacterial properties.
Consuming fruits, vegetables, proteins and foods rich in Omega-3 will help you
have youthful looking skin in the long run. It is important to consume 6 to 8 glasses of water. Confused? Toxins in
your skin can make your skin look dull and lifeless, bring it back to life by drinking water, this will help in
flushing out all the toxins.
Everything Else
- Make up is good but not when you are
sleeping. No matter how tired you are, remove the make up. Your
skin needs to breathe when you get your beauty sleep; make up on the skin can clog the pores, dry out your skin
and cause acne.
- Excessive alcohol, cigarette and
caffeine can make your skin unhealthy and lifeless.
Make healthy lifestyle choices for great looking skin.
- Don't forget your sunscreen. Sun can have harmful effects on the skin. Use good sun
protection by applying a daily sunscreen or sun block lotion with suitable SPFs to keep your skin from the
harshness of the sun.
