YOUR EVERYDAY SKIN CARE ROUTINE

I believe you are all so inspired by the great makeup & skin care tips I have published so far but i also think i need to explain further the importance of taking care of your skin.
There's nothing worse than spending so much on makeups & not having a good skin to show for it. The truth is if your skin doesn't feel good, your makeup wouldn't look good!

Especially with all the fabulous makeup products we are trying, it is important to make sure our skin is in prime condition to cope with the demands that these products will put on our skin.

Here are some basic steps for us all to look at with our daily and weekly routines – I am not going to talk about using specific brands but I will …

Step 1 – Cleaning

Use a good quality cleansing product that will remove any remaining traces of makeup from the day/night before. Make sure that the cleanser is one designed for your skin type, as using the wrong type can cause as many problems as it solves.

Makeup Remover
For the most stubborn waterproof makeup, I recommend an oil based makeup remover. There are lots on the market and you don’t need to spend a lot of money in this area to get an effective makeup remover.


Step 2 – Tone

Most toners will help to remove any last traces of makeup and cleanser and will also restore the natural PH balance to your skin.

Step 3 – Exfoliate
Exfoliation is a process that removes dead skin cells from the top layer of skin, allowing new rejuvenated skin to surface and may help improve the appearance of fine lines and mild acne.

Step 4 – Moisturize

This is the final step of your daily routine and getting the right moisturizer is cornerstone of good skin care. Moisturizing forms a barrier between the skin and environmental conditions. It also helps to form a fine, protective layer that enables the skin to retain the moisture it requires. Moisturizing is essential for all skin types including oily skin.

QUICK NOTES:

We all have different and unique skin. so what is right for one person may not be the best for another person, so we need to identify the right product for us.

I have done lots of research on many different brands so if you do have specific question on individual brands give me a shout.

Many Thanks,
