Beauty and makeup tips are available everywhere – on newspapers and magazines, or on hundreds of beauty websites. The beauty of healthy and glowing skin, however, can not be replaced by any makeup techniques. The most important thing you can do is be responsible to your skin. Wash your face gently twice a day, don’t use harsh products unless medically necessary, and avoid the sun.
Besides daily simple skin care, facial skin care products are also essential to keeping your beauty and preventing aging and other skin problems. Before selecting the right skin treatment for you, it is necessary to determine your skin type. There are five main skin types and different facial skin care products for every one of them, depending on your skin type the skin treatment will vary. Normal skin, dry skin and oil skin are the three most common skin types.
Normal skin
Normal skin type does not feel or look dry or oily, and looks fresh, clean and comfortably smooth after washing. The pores of normal skin type are visible but not large or clogged although occasionally they may break out in spots. For normal type skin, a gentle foaming facial wash accompanied by mild massaging is enough for basic care. A set of facial skin care products, designed for this type of skin, are applied after washing your face. You may want to include a refreshing facial toner.
Dry skin
Dry skin has a papery and thin texture with fine pores. After washing, it feels extremely dry and tight though it practically does not break out in spots. But by mid-day, flaky patches may appear if you didn’t use a proper dry skin treatment. Dry skin needs special facial skin care products like creamy cleansers instead of soap. Dry skin care requires extra attention and efforts than normal skin. For instance, the cleanser must be left on the skin for several minutes before sweeping it away with cotton. Splashing cold water onto your face or using a thick cream moisturizer will be very helpful throughout the entire day.Oily skin
Oily skin type looks and feels very greasy and its texture is coarse and thick with large and visible pores. Although it feels fine after washing it in the morning, the skin looks shiny and usually breaks out in spots by mid-day. Because the nature of oil skin, most facial skin care products, not especially designed for oily skin, are useless. A gentle foaming facial wash and an astringent lotion are basic for oil skin, along with a light oil-free moisturizer. Make sure to absorb the excess of the skin care products with a tissue to avoid the shiny appearance of your face. You only have one face, so baby it.
