Basic Skin Care
The first step for basic skin care is to find out your skin type. Once you know your skin type following a regular cleansing, exfoliating, toning and moisturizing routine with the skin care products that suit your skin type becomes simpler. Here are a few suggestions to have a healthy, glowing skin even during the winter months.
Skin Cleansing
Before embarking on skin cleansing regime make sure that your hands are clean to prevent the transfer of bacteria to your face. Begin with your hairline first as hairstyling products attract dirt. Thereafter, sweep the cleanser over your face, lips, down the neck, as far as you have applied the foundation.
Gently massage the cleanser in with your fingertips and leave it on for a minute to allow the make-up to melt away. Now, use a soft cotton ball to wipe away dirt, pollution, cosmetic build-up without pulling the skin.
In the end wash the face with water and a quality face wash so the dirt is gone and skin becomes perfectly clean.
Toning
Toning is essential for all skin types as it improves the blood circulation and gives a healthy glow to the skin.
To begin with soak cotton wool pads in a skin tonic and wipe the face in outward and upward strokes. End each movement at the temples and apply gentle pressure on them. Apply toner at the centre of the forehead and go outwards on both the sides, again ending at the temples. Use circular motions while applying it on the chin. Use light movements for toning the area around the eyes. Tone the neck with downward strokes from the chin.
Skin Care This Winter
Caring for the skin can be overwhelming during winters. It is the time to watch out for dry skin, coarse hair, withered cuticles and rough hands. It is a time when the skin becomes ultra sensitive and tends to give in to the pressures of pollution and seasonal imbalances.
Some simple tips can ensure that the skin stays supple and pretty pink during winters.
• Use a cleansing milk to remove dirt and grime especially if you have a dry skin.
• Use a moisturizer generously for a smooth and clean complexion. The best time to put it on is evenings after a warm bath.
• Just before hitting the sack apply an invigorating cold cream and give yourself a skin tonic massage.
