All about facial skin care routine at home

' Facial skin care ' is more disciplined problem than anything else. A facial skin care routine is what you need (and you need to follow a facial skin care routine with complete seriousness). So, let's examine what consists of an effective facial skin care routine. Well, very simple, regular facial skin care can follow the 4 steps below:

* Cleaning

* Toning

* Exfoliating 

* Moisturize

Cleansing is the first thing in a routine facial skin care. Cleansing helps in removing dust, pollutants, fats and extra oils from your skin, thereby preventing damage to your skin. Just place the face and neck with a good cleansing lotion or cream and gently massage onto your skin using a stroke upwards. Use a soft face tissue or cotton wool to wipe your face in a soft pat mode (do not rub).  Cleaning should be done at least twice a day IE morning (as part of the complete facial skin care routine) and night (independently). Water soluble cleansers are best to put into your facial skin care routine.

Toning is the next in routine facial skin care. However, this is an optional part of regular facial skin care. Mostly, proper cleaning can compensate for toning. Toning helps remove all traces of dirt, grease and excess cleaners. Instead of making it a part of your daily facial skincare routine, you can use the occasional toning that is when you have been exposed to a very harsh environment/pollution.

Exfoliation again, type, an optional step in daily routine for facial skin care. However, exfoliation is required at least once a week (or twice, depending on the type of skin and environmental conditions). Exfoliation finds its place in the facial care routine due to the natural tendency of the skin to fill skin cells every 3 or 4 weeks. As a facial skin care technique, exfoliation helps in removing dead skin cells that block pores, thereby helping the skin in a natural process. However, excessive or harsh exfoliation can cause damage to your skin; So you need to balance it.

The next thing in facial skin care is moisturising. In fact, moisturizers are the most important part of your facial skin care routine. Moisturizers prevent your skin from drying. Dry skin is very unwanted because it causes the skin of the top layer to break, causing the skin cells to die. Again, use the light strokes upwards to make the moisturiser more effective. Moisturizers work best when applied to warm, moist skin. So do not try to remove all the moisture in the previous step of facial skin care routine.

In addition to normal facial skin care routines, you should also use the following for facial skin care:

* Use proper make-up Remover instead of just washing it away

* Pay heed to skin type and environment, when choosing facial skin care products.

* Before you start using a new facial skin care product, test it by applying it to a short patch of skin       e.g. the ear pan.

* Do not rub your skin too hard.

* Use sunscreen lotion for protection against the Sun.
