HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR SKIN TYPE?


                   Hello gorgeous 😊



Have you realised the depth of information on skincare, from magazines, newspapers, dermatologists, cosmetics sales people, just to mention but a few? 

It just feels so and so complicated to take care of your skin.
 Every single day you come across different conflicting skincare information from  different sources such as magazines, cosmetics sales people, dermatologists, herbalists all you can name it. At the end of the day it becomes so and so confusing.


But if you to think of it there are only seven skincare basics namely; cleaning your skin, removing make up, toning, exfoliating, moisturising, sun screening and facial masks.




HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR SKIN TYPE





Cleaning your skin



The first step is to clean your skin using gentle cleansing products suitable for your skin type. Use a gentle water-soluble cleanser which neither leaves your skin too dry or greasy.

Using a water-soluble cleanser reduces potential sagging especially around the eye area and you guaranteed of a complete make up removal.



How to identify the best water-soluble cleanser

  1. Removes each trace of make up without leaving your skin either dry or greasy
  2.  Should have a softening or soothing effect to a dry skin and more thorough cleansing to an oily and combination skin.

Cleansing directions

Firstly, wash your hands it is essential and splash tepid water on your face, please do it gentle. Afterwards gentle massage your cleanser in circles on your face. You can now rinse your face. If you notice any make up traces or oiliness do repeat the process.



Removing make up


It is very essential to remove make up before bed to avoid clogged pores and causing skin irritation. Wiping your makeup should be approached with gentle care, do avoid pulling your skin up, down or sideways to avoid sagging.

The next time you stand in front of a mirror wiping off your make up please make sure your skin doesn’t move sideways or up or down, if it does please do consider using a water-soluble cleanser.

Instead of a scrub prefer using a washcloth in aggregation with a cleanser because it is very gentle on your skin.

If you wear a waterproof makeup you could consider using a wipe off, make up remover before using a water-soluble cleanser. Please be gentle on your skin during this process.



Toning


Toning leaves your skin feeling soft, smooth, moisturised and removes any traces of makeup and oiliness left behind.


After cleaning your skin do soak a cotton ball with a toner and stroke your face gently.




Exfoliating




Exfoliation is a key component to a healthy-looking skin. It is important for all skin types and its as basic as a cleanser. Exfoliating is essential for removing dead skin cells while revealing a younger beautiful skin, enhancing blood circulation, unclogging skin pores, reduces blackheads and blemishes. 


Moisturising

 It is very important to moisturise your skin frequently and it is a must. Moisturising is an ideal for improving the skin’s immune response, skin healing and repair any damage on your skin, act as a barrier against environmental influences and create healthy skin cells. A good moisturizer contains antioxidants, skin identical ingredients and cell communicating ingredients. It makes your skin soft and smooth and keeps your skin well hydrated.



Sunscreen




Despite your skin type, location and race a sunscreen should always be part of your skincare routine!
