Step 2: Know your skin

It is vital to know your skin and its type. Dry, oily, sensitive, normal, they all have issues of their own. You must know what you are allergic to and if certain things can cause you an allergy. You may develop a rash if you do not know what suits you and sometimes, the damage is irreparable. You can only buy the products or make natural homemade remedies if you know your skin type and what suits you best.

Step 3: Soak your face

Use lukewarm water, remember: not hot. Hot water can damage and dehydrate your delicate skin. Soak your face and ensure all the areas of your face are wet. Soaking the face softens the skin making it easier to get rid off the dirt.

Step 4: Cleanse

Squeeze the cleanser on your palm. Slowly massage it on your face with finger tips in circular motion. Avoid eye contours. Spread the cleanser down to your neck since it is closer to your face and may seem like a contrast if it is dirty. Massage for two minutes and rinse the cleanser. Use a cleanser that is not too harsh. Buy products that say ‘for sensitive skin’. Even the products that read natural are sometimes harsh on your skin. If your face feels tight, dry or sore after cleansing, immediately change your cleanser. Use can opt for Himalaya’s cleanser for sensitive skin. For a natural remedy, milk is the best option. Dip cotton in milk and wipe your face clean. You may also use face masks made of papaya and yogurt.

Step 6: Tone

We have plenty of tutorials out there that would guide you on how to tone you body. But what about toning your skin? To term it simply, A toner is used to even your skin tone. Due to tanning and pollution, we all end up with a patchy, uneven skin tone. It is, therefore, important to tone your skin to make it look smoother and glowing.  It is also used to restore your skin’s natural pH levels making it more resistant against bacteria and other microorganisms. Toning is mandatory for people with oily skin. Take little toner in a cotton swab and remember to wring out the excess liquid. Simply wipe your face with swab. Pay extra attention to your nose, chin and forehead as they are frequently the oiliest parts of your face. Avoid the mouth and the eye contour. Do not rinse off the toner. Let it stay on your skin. It causes no damage to the skin. Use Oriflame’s sensitive skin toner. For those who prefer natural therapy, use lime juice but avoid if you have dry skin. You may use potato juice instead. The natural toners need to be washed away.

Step 7: Moisturise

This step cannot be avoided even if you have oily skin. It is imperative to moisturize your skin in order to rehydrate it. When you cleanse, it washes away essential oils with excess oil. So, to regain the moisture, use a moisturizer. Take some moisturizer on your finger and apply spots of the moisturizer directly on the face. Rub it in and massage your face with the fingertips. Massage at least for a minute. Choose a moisturizer that matches your skin type. An oily skin type may develop pimples if a dry skin type cream is applied on it, whereas, moisturizing for oily skin may be too mild for dry skin. For dry skin, Pond’s cold cream gives good results and for oily and sensitive skin Nivea’s cream is best suited. Glycerin is a great moisturizer for any skin type and gives a glowing skin. You may also use gels such as Aloe Vera to hydrate your skin and keep it healthy.
