Guide to Original Skin Care
Our skin is exposed everyday to the weather, sun, rain and freezing temperatures as well as to pollution. Taking care of our skin is therefore important in order to keep it looking glowing and young.
What is Your Skin Type?
First things first, you must take the time and know your skin type; there are three main types of skin and they are: normal, dry and oily skin. There are people who have mixed skin types as well, which basically means, they experience two or all types of skin, for example, you can have an oily nose area and a dry or normal forehead.
Once you determine what skin type you are, the original skin care can begin. Original skin care implies what you can do at home everyday without the help of a skin specialist. Here are a few tips, which will help you improve and maintain great skin tone.
Depending on your skin type, you need to choose a day and night cream, which you need to apply regularly in order to nourish your skin. Day cream is normally light, depending on the weather for example, in summer time you may opt for a lotion that is light so it does not clog your pores but still supplies your skin with original skin care. In the winter time, you may choose a cream that is heavier because the weather is harsher and your face will dry quicker.
Night cream is essential as that is the time when your face can get rejuvenated and replenished. Original skin care for the nighttime should consist of a nourishing cream, which you must apply, only after you have cleansed your face thoroughly.
Cleaning and Exfoliating
Men or women need to clean their face every single evening before applying the night cream and the reason for that is the pollution in which we live, work and walk everyday. Try and see for yourself: take a cotton ball and with a little cleansing milk clean your eyes first and then your face and neck then, check the cotton ball - it will probably be dark gray or black. You accumulate dust and dirt over the day and that can cause damage to your skin by clogging the pores or aging it prematurely.
Exfoliating is yet another step of original skin care. Cells die constantly and it is necessary to remove them from your face and body through the process of exfoliation. Face exfoliation is gentler than body exfoliation because the skin is far more delicate on the face. Try and exfoliate your face and body weekly for clearer brighter skin.
Original skin care starts at home; you will be surprised what a big difference it will make to your skin and appearance. You can also consult a beautician or skin specialist for further care and combating the aging process.
