Cleansing, Toning & Moisturizing


Fresh and glowing skin is very important for one's beauty. We all are not naturally blessed with a good skin. People with good skin need to take care of their nature's gift and the people who do not have naturally good skin need to work hard to make their skin look shiny, smooth and beautiful. Different people have different textures of skin like oily, dry and normal. However, some of the people have extremely sensitive skin which needs extra special care. The basic ways to take care of any kind of skin is cleansing, toning and moisturizing.


Moving around in dust, smoke and traffic makes skin dull, dry and dead. Regular exposure to all these things makes skin faint and pale. Gradually, it starts taking toll on the skin and permanently damages its texture. If you do not want your skin to lose its charm before time, the only remedy to it is constant caring. We keep our selves busy in house work and forget to take care of our selves. So today i have decided to tell you about the easiest and effective way of keeping your skin healthy. The easiest and effective way to care for your skin is regular cleansing, toning & moisturizing.

 

Cleansing

Benefits  

Cleansing is the most effective way of removing dust, dirt and dead layer from your skin. It is also meant for cleaning the previously applied make up. Cleansing helps in removing the extra element on the skin to make its pore open and breathing. Regular cleaning makes your face fresh and clean.

Process

Wash your hands with soap properly to remove dust and bacteria.
Use a good quality face wash with water in order to remove dust stick to your face. Remember, a face wash can help you get rid of the dust but it is not simply enough to remove all the impurities from your face.
Once you have done cleansing, you can go for light scrubbing. This will help you get rid of black heads a dead skin.
Now pat your skin dry with a clean towel.
Dip cotton in fresh milk or artificially available cleanser (whatever available) and properly apply it all over your face. Remove it with dry cotton after few minutes. Wash the face with water again.

Toning

Benefits 

Toning helps in removing any residual dirt or cleanser on the face. It also helps in restoring the natural pH level of the skin, making it ready for being hydrated.

Process

Toners with glycolic or alpha hydroxy acid are best for toning for almost all kinds of skin.
Natural toning is also a nice way to take care of your skin. For normal and dry skin use a combination of fresh cucumber juice with yoghurt as an astringent.
You can use the combination of egg white with honey mixed with few drops of lemon juice as a toner for oily skin.
Apply toner with cotton all over your face except the eyes and lips. Wipe the toner in upward and outward direction.

Moisturizing

Benefits 

  It helps in restoring the natural moisture to your face and making it more soft, supple and glowing.

Process

After you are done with your cleansing and toning, you must moisturize your face in order to regain the moisture lost.
Clean your hands before you apply moisturizer to your face.
Deeply apply the moisturizer on your face in a circular with upward strokes motion.
Do not over use moisturizer as it will clog your pores and give way to black heads and pimples.

Hope you will find this helpful. Keep smiling :-)
