Routine face care tips for everyone

CLEANSING: It must be carried out every day - evening and morning and every time new make-up is applied in daytime. The cleansing lotion used for cleansing, just like face creams, must be chosen considering the type of complexion. Women who wear makeup carry out a routine of cleansing, toning and moistening turn back the clock each evening, as well as washing the face in the morning. Take 5 minutes to remove old make-up and the grime and grease that have been accumulated during the day.

The traditional way to do it is to start with the cleansing of the lips, with circular moves, then cleansing of the eyes which require a cleansing lotion rich in emollients if it is the case of an obvious make-up. First remove the mascara from the eye-lashes with a well moisturized swab and, after that, using other swabs the eye-lids will be softly cleansed with circular moves. For a deep cleansing, the cleansing lotion s evenly spread on the face and neck with soft upwards moves on the face and up-and-down moves on the neck. To make the job easier keep your hair off your face.

Pour a little face cleansing cream into the palm of one hand and dab it over the nose, chin, forehead and cheeks but remember use two fingers of the other hand. Massage the cream into the skin, starting under the throat, using a gentle upward motion. Gently massage the cream from the eyes to the nose and to the forehead. Massage cream back over the chin, which is particularly prone to blackheads. Use the index finger. Now remove the cream from the face with tissue pads in each hand. Start under the chin and work over the cheeks and on to the forehead.

TONING: Toning lotions are needed for every type of skin even for dry complexion. Toners remove all traces of dirt, make-up or cleanser that remain after cleansing and stimulate the biologic functions of the skin and activate blood circulation, working simultaneously as a tonic on the facial muscles. Immediately after cleansing apply toner to the forehead and cheeks on a pad of wool. Apply the toner to the crevices around the nose and to the crevices around the chin. After cleansing and toning the skin, it is necessary to nourish it.

MOISTURIZING: It is needed to make skin smooth and supple. The face is exposed to the drying effect of the weather, so moisturizers which form a film over the skin contain and augment the natural moisture. Dab moisturizing cream lightly all over the face using index fingers. Press the fingers of both hands into the centre of the forehead and work the cream slowly outwards. Pat the cream gently around the eyes, then around the jaw line, chin and mouth with the middle fingers of both hands.

Usually, the moisturizers that protect the skin are applied mornings once the cleansing and toning of the skin are done. It is also recommended to apply a fine layer of powder, especially in case of an oily complexion, due to its absorptive and protective action.

Homemade scrubs, An easy step to glowing skin

Homemade body scrubs can be easily made out of all natural ingredients. Your scrubs can be pure and gentle without any of the potentially harmful chemicals that are found in many commercial scrubs. For a soothing bath time treat that will give your skin a vividly fresh look. To make a scrub, you need a coarse ingredient with a soothing and moisturizing base. The most popular and practical coarse for homemade body scrubs is sugar. Sugar based body scrub will help your skin rather than harm it.

The best scrub around can be made using these three compounds: Table salt, olive oil, white vinegar. To use this you first need to wash your face with a white cloth and Ivory Soap. Use the above mixture as a scrub. Scrub your face as tightly as easy for you. Use Circular even blows. Continue this scrub process for about 2-3 minutes. Rinse face. Apply a thin layer of olive oil to the face as a moisturizer. If you are going out also apply a thin layer of any good sunscreen. Conduct this treatment daily.

Here is another homemade scrub. Get any type of herbal tea, pour some into a pot. Only pour 1 or 2 tablespoon then pour some sugar and oil in to it (almond, olive, coconut, etc) then break the tea bag open, mix some of the tea leaves in and some coffee beans. Sugar is best for this purpose. This mixture is supposed to be thick and clammy. Add a tiny bit of milk to soften your skin, and then get two or three pinch, and wet this so it becomes kind of watery, and rub gently on to your skin. Don’t rub very hardly because it'll turn red. Then rinse with the cold water.

Use a circular motion to wipe away dead skin cells, and pay extra attention to rough areas like elbows and knees. Allow your scrub to remain on your skin for three to four minutes so that your skin can soak up the nutrients from the fruit, and then wash away your homemade scrub in halfhearted water. Pat your skin dry gently to stick the moisture into your newly exposed fresh layer of shimmering skin.
