July 7, 2007

Glowing skin is always noticed and admired. It is not difficult to maintain a fresh and younger looking skin. For this one needs to include a skin maintenance routine in their daily life.

Cleansing
Toning
Exfoliating
Moisturizing

Cleansing:

This is the first and a crucial step in maintaining a glowing skin. It removes the dust, dirt, excess oil and the pollutants that stick to the skin. Choose a type of cleanser that is best suited to your skin type. Buy a good recognized brand and apply it evenly on your face and neck. The strokes should always be in an upward motion. Then take a wet tissue or cotton wool and wipe gently. Cleansing should be done atleast two times a day. In summers, when the skin gets oilier then it can be done three times. Cleansers come in various forms. Some are cream based, while others are foamy and water based.

Toning:

Toning helps to remove all traces of dirt, grease and excess cleanser. It gives the skin a very smooth and clean effect. It is especially required when the skin is subjected to harsh and polluted environment.

Exfoliating:

This is not needed to do daily but atleast once a week. Exfoliation is required because of the natural tendency of skin to replenish the skin cells every three or four weeks. It helps in removing the dead skin cells that block the pores, allowing the skin to breathe. While selecting an exfoliating product make sure that the granules are soft and not too harsh. Rubbing on the skin should be done gently and in a circular manner.

Moisturizing:

Moisturizers prevent your skin from getting dry. Dry skin is really undesirable since it cause the upper layer skin to break, leading to dead skin cells. Always use light upward strokes to make the moisturizer more effective. Select the right type depending on your skin type.

Our face lights up when the skin is well maintained. To ensure a glowing skin apart from the daily skin care routine, one should always apply a sunscreen lotion when out in the sun. Always cleanse the face thoroughly after using make up. Use well known brands and always test a new skin product on your hand or arm, before applying it directly on your face.

Hope this article encourages you and helps you in getting the perfect glowing skin that you always wanted.
