Good personal skin care is following a routine or a procedure for attending to the needs of your skin. We all know the importance of ?personal skin care?. The opinion on how-to (for personal skin care) differs from person to person. Some people believe that going to beauty parlors every other day is personal skin care. Others believe that personal skin care is just a matter of applying some cream or lotion on your skin, every now and then. Many people think that personal skin care is an event that happens once a month or year and there are others that busy themselves with ?personal skin care? all the time. A good skin care routine is not that complicated and neither is it that expensive considering its benefits.
Skin Type should be determined before attempting to start your routine. There are different types of skin that require different products. Some may have oily skin, others may have dry skin. There are also many that have very sensitive skin. Determining your skin type is very important. Testing a product to make sure that it doesn?t irritate your skin is important also. After you have determined your skin type and tested different products to find what is right for you, it will be time to start your routine. Here is a basic routine that will suit most skin care needs for normal skin.
First of all, you will need to clean your skin; this process is also called cleansing. Cleansers are made up of three main ingredients, oil, water, and surfactants or wetting agents. The oil and the surfactants extract all the dirt from your skin and the water flushes it away, leaving your skin feeling cleaner than with other methods. You may have to try a few different cleansers to find the one that is right for you. Always use soap-free cleansers and luke warm water. Cold or hot water along with soap can really harm your skin. Over cleansing can harm it as well so make sure you do not over do it.
Exfoliation is the second step. Exfoliation is the removal of dead skin cells from your skin. Your skin is always producing new skin cells to repair itself but the old cells are left on your skin. So it is important to remove these. For normal skin, this process should be done four to five times per week, for dry skin try just a couple times a week. Exfoliation clears the path for moisturizes. Without this process the dead skin cells will absorb most of the moisturizer leaving your new skin cells unprotected.
The next and one of the most important processes in the routine is applying moisturizers to your skin. Not only do moisturizers add and seal in moisture to your skin, it attracts moisture also. You should be able to notice how much moisturizer your skin needs in about a week. Be careful not to over moisturize your skin. By doing this it can clog your pores and damage your skin instead of helping it.
Sunscreen is the last process in your personal skin care routine. Many moisturizers come with sunscreen already in the ingredients. If not, make sure you choose one that will protect you all day long. Even if there are clouds out side it is still important to wear sunscreen.
Ask a Dermatologist if you feel that you have any dilemmas with your skin. They may be able to advise you on what is best for you. Remember to test your products and the amount that you are using until you find what is right for you. You always want to do what is necessary to get the right results. - 16650
