All about facials

Facial skin care is more of a discipline than anything else. What you need is a facial skin care routine (and you have to follow the facial skin care routine with seriousness). So what is an effective facial skin care routine? Well, very simply, a facial skin care routine can follow the following 4 steps:

• Cleaning
• bracing
• exfoliating
• moisturizer

Cleaning is the first thing in facial skin care routine. Cleaning helps in removing dust, pollutants, grease and extra oil from your skin, thereby preventing damage to your skin. Just spot your face and neck with a good cleansing lotion or cream and gently massage it into your skin using upward strokes. Use a soft face tissue or cotton wool to wipe your face in a gentle patting fashion (do not rub). Cleaning should be done at least twice a day i.e. morning (as part of complete facial skin care routine) and evening (on a standalone basis). Water soluble cleansers are the best for inclusion in your facial skin care routine.

bracing is the next in a facial skin care routine. However, this is the optional part of the facial skin care routine. Mostly, proper cleansing can compensate for toning. bracing helps remove all traces of dirt, grease and excess cleanser. Instead of making it part of your daily facial skin care routine, you can using toning occasionally i.e. when you have been exposed to particularly harsh environment/pollution.

Exfoliation is again, in a way, an optional step in the daily routine of facial skin care. However, exfoliation is necessary at least once a week (or twice, depending on skin type and environmental conditions). Exfoliation finds its place in facial skin care because of the natural tendency of the skin to replenish  skin cells   every 3 or 4 weeks. As a facial technique, exfoliation helps remove dead  skin cells   that clog pores, helping the skin in its natural process. However, excessive or severe exfoliation can damage your skin. so you have to balance.

The next thing in facial skin care is moisturizing. In fact, hydration is the most important part of the facial skin care routine. Moisturizers prevent your skin from drying out. Dry skin is really undesirable because it causes the breaking of the upper layer of the skin, resulting in the formation of dead cells. Again, apply gentle strokes upwards to make the moisturizer more effective. Moisturizers work best when applied to warm, moist skin. So, do not try to remove all the moisture from the previous steps of the facial care routine.

In addition to the normal facial skin care routine, you should also do the following exercises for facial skin care:

• Use an appropriate makeup remover instead of washing it
• Pay attention to your skin type and the environment when choosing facial skincare products.
• Before you start using a new facial care product, test it by applying it to a short piece of skin, for example. ear lobes.
• Never rub your skin too hard.
• Use sun creams to protect yourself from the sun.
