All About Facial Beauty Care

By Serena Greene

'Facial skin care' is more a matter of discipline than anything more. It's also about using the best products that you can afford to achieve a beautiful complexion.

The top salons can counsel you on the top beauty care products and regime for your skin type but here's some suggestions to get you moving.

A facial skin care routine is what you want ( and you must follow the facial skin care programme with complete seriousness ).

So let's check what involves an effective facial skin care programme.

Well, very simply, a facial skin care programme can follow the following four steps :

* Cleansing * Toning * Exfoliating * Moisturising

Cleaning is the first thing in facial skin care routine. Cleaning assists in removing dust, contaminants, grease and extra oil from your skin, thereby forestalling damage to your skin.

Just spot your neck and face with a good cleansing lotion or cream and carefully massage it into your skin using upward movement. Employ a soft face tissue or cotton wool to wipe your face in a gentle patting fashion (don't rub). Cleansing should be done at least two times a day i.e. Morning ( as a part of complete facial skin care routine ) and evening (on a standalone basis).

Water-soluble cleaners are recommended for inclusion in your facial beauty care routine.

Toning is the following in a facial skin care programme. However, this is your optional part of the facial skin care programme. Often, proper cleaning can compensate for toning. Toning helps remove all traces of mud, grease and excess cleaner. Rather than making it part of your regular facial beauty care routine, you can using toning sometimes i.e. When you've been exposed to especially tough environment/pollution.

Exfoliation is again, kind of, optional step in everyday routine for facial beauty care. However, exfoliation is necessary at least once a week ( or twice, depending on your skin type and the environmental conditions ). Exfoliation finds its place in facial beauty care routine thanks to the natural disposition of skin to replenish the skin cells each 3 or a month.

As a facial skin care method, exfoliation helps in removing the dead skin cells that clog the pores, thus helping the skin in the natural process. However, excessive or oppressive exfoliation may cause damage to your skin ; so you need to balance it out.

The following thing in facial beauty care is moisturising.

in reality, moisturising is the most vital part of facial skin care routine. Moisturisers stop your skin from getting dry. Dry skin is truly unattractive since it cause the upper layer skin to break, leading to dead skin cells. Again, use light upward strokes to make the moisturiser more effective. Moisturisers work the best when applied on warm and damp skin.

So don't attempt to remove all of the moisture in the previous steps of facial skin care routine.

Besides the ordinary facial skin care routine, you need to also exercise the following for facial skin care :

* Use correct make-up remover rather than just washing it away * Pay heed to your skin type and the environment, when choosing facial skin care creams. * 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 defense against sun.
