A facial cleans, exfoliates and nourishes the skin to promote clear, well-hydrated skin. It makes you healthier, looks good and boosts your self-confidence and self-worth. The first thing a person notices is your face. A facial skin care helps you preserve and enhance the skin in your face. The initial procedure in a facial skin care is cleaning the face. Cleaning the face removes the dust, grease,pollutant, and the extra oil from your face. Just spot your face and neck with a good cleansing lotion or cream and gently massage it into your skin using upward strokes. A soft face tissue or a cotton wool to clean the cream or lotion on your face. Cleansing 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. Toning is the next in a facial skin care routine. Though toning is just an option in part of facial skin care routine. Mostly, proper cleansing can compensate for toning. Toning helps remove all traces of dirt, grease and excess cleanser. You can use toning occasionally when you have been exposed to harsh environment or pollution as part of your facial skin care. Exfoliation is again, kind of, optional step in everyday routine for facial skin care. However, exfoliation is necessary at least once a week (or twice, depending on the skin type and the environmental conditions). Because of the natural tendency of the skin to replenish the skin cells every 3 or 4 weeks, exfoliation has become a part of any facial skin care routine. Exfoliation helps remove the dead skin cells that block the pores and assists the skin in it’s natural process. Although exfoliation is good for your skin, there are some bad effects that do damage to your skin. The next thing in facial skin care is moisturising. Moisturizing is the most important part of the facial skin care routine. Moisturisers prevent your skin from getting dry. Dry skin causes the upper layer of the skin to break leading to dead skin cells. An effective way to use the moisturizer is by doing a light upward stroke. Moisturisers work the best when applied on warm and damp skin. So do not try to remove all the moisture in the previous steps of facial skin care routine. Besides the normal facial skin care routine, you should also exercise the following for facial skin care: -Use proper make-up remover instead of just washing it away -Pay heed to your skin type and the environment, when choosing facial skin care products. -Before you start using a new facial skin care product, test it by applying it on a short patch of skin e.g. ear lobes. -Never rub your skin too hard. -Use sunscreen lotions for protection against sun.
