Daily/Weekly Skin Care Routine
The way you look plays a very crucial role in shaping the way you feel about yourself. When your skin is fresh and glowing with good health, you feel confident and self assured. Proper skin care gives you great looking skin which works wonders for your self-esteem.
Daily Skin Care Routine: No matter what your skin type, having regular cleansing regimen every day is critical for good skin health. Most skin experts advise that excessive cleaning should also be avoided at all costs. Washing your skin a day with a good facial cleanser that is designed for your skin type helps keep acne and other skin infections under control. Cleansing gets rid of left over makeup and cosmetics that will end up clogging your pores. It also removes any seat and environmental impurities from the surface of your skin. It is very important to use the correct cleanser for your skin type.
Toning your skin is the second step in your daily skin care regimen. Toner gets rid of any excess that is still on your skin, it refreshes the skin and even out its pHfoli levels. It also enhances cell renewal the skin and refines the texture of your skin. Use a toner that gives your skin the vitamins and minerals it needs and your will see your skin revitalized in no time at all. Toner should be applied right after the cleansing(twice a day) and be left on.
Third step, is protecting your skin from the sun rays. Sun blocks are available for all skin types. Select one that suits yours and use it diligently whenever you need to go out.
Fourth step, moisturizing your skin and keeping it well hydrated is an important step to follow. It helps the skin maintain its normal moisture balance, puts lost moisture back into your skin and it also helps create the perfect bast for your foundation. People with oily skin believe that moisturizing is unnecessary for them. But this may not really be true. Allowing your skin to get excessively dry may actually worsen your oily skin problems and cause acne or red patches. Drink plenty of water each day to clear out the toxins from your skin and to keep it supple and elastic all day long.
Another daily skin tip, is to pay attention to the products that you use on your skin each day and note how your skin feels or reacts afterwards. This helps you identify the cosmetics, creams and moisturizers that suit your skin best and have the least impact.
Weekly Skin Care Routine; Exfoliation: It is also important for you to take some extra care over the weekend to get your skin ready for the week ahead. I recommend that you exfoliate at least once or twice a week. This is quite sufficient for good skin heath.
What is Exfoliation?: Exfoliation process of removing old dead skin cells that remain on the outermost surface of your skin. Exfoliation, when done correctly, leaves your skin looking and feeling fresh and smooth. Since the outer layer of dead cells is removed by this process, creams and moisturizers penetrate the skin better and have better effect when applied other exfoliation.
When to Exfoliate?: It is not necessary to carry out exfoliation every day. This is necessary only when there is enough build-up of dead cells over the skin surface to be detrimental to overall skin health/appearance. To know when to exfoliate, heres a simple test you can use: 1.apply a piece of clear tape to your forehead and rub gently. 2. when removed and you see tiny pieces of flaky skin adhering to it, you need to exfoliate. Exfoliation becomes even more important as you become older. Exfoliation is very essential in such conditions to remove the dead cells that remain on the epidermis so that new cells take their place. Exfoliation is a very effective solution to many skin problems, especially those arising from or aggravated by closed pores, checking periodically if this process is necessary and doing it as soon as the right signs appear helps your skin in great condition.
How to Exfoliate?: There are four ways in which you can exfoliate the dead skin cells; 1.Granular, 2.Cream, 3.Enzyme and 4.Chemical.
1.Granular Exfoliation, is best to use on young teenagers skins with no acne. Usually fine peach pits are in exfoliation and this helps to remove any dead skin cells. Use a sponge to remove scrub from your face.
2.Cream Exfoliation, is best to use on mature skins(women between 40-50 years of age). It looks like cream and is applied in a thin layer and left to dry. Once its dry, you can rub it off with dry fingers.
3.Enzyme Exfoliation, is usually used without steamer and it works well on older skin types and acne skins. It is also a cream that you apply. The steamer then activates the enzymes to work on your skin. Remove with sponge.
4.Chemical Exfoliation, is used to remove spots, blemishes and acne scars from the face. Both enzyme and chemical exfoliation are done at spas, skin care studios or medical skin care centers where experienced professionals oversee the process.
Weekly Skin Care Routine; Facial Mask Treatments: You may be using masks when you need to prepare your skin for a special event or when it seems very dull and lifeless. But making this a part of your weekly regimen ensures that if get done week after week.

Masks(especially clay based ones) absorb excess oil from your skin and deep cleanse the pores.
