You need to be quite regimented in terms of facial skin care. Get in to a program and stick to it. The five main aspects of facial skin care can be sorted as follows:-

• Cleansing

• Toning

• Exfoliating

• Moisturizing

• Protection

Cleansing:

First and foremost is cleansing. It sounds like stating the obvious but state it I will. Taking away the days dirt, air pollution, grease, and sweat from your skin will help avoid harm and infection. Apply a mild oil free soap or cleansing lotion and a cotton wool pad and dab, not rub. Cleansing is best done in the morning and at night as part of your routine. Always use a preparatory make-up remover this is often better than using water and soap.

Toning:

The following part of your facial skin care routine is known as toning, it is really an extension to cleansing. You actually only should do this extra cleansing occasionally when you have perhaps taken part in an activity or been in an environment that has made you sweatier or dirtier than usual.

Exfoliation:

You do not have to exfoliate daily. Weekly or maybe 2 times a week according to what your skin has been through all week. We all naturally loose skin cells, its part of being human. Skin cells die its actually what makes up a lot of the dust at home, however, a few of the dead skin cells require help, this where exfoliation comes in. The act of exfoliation is abrasive on the skin so you should be careful to not cause damage to healthy living skin.

Moisturizing:

Moisturizing is probably the most important part of your daily facial skin care routine. Moisturizing your skin will avoid it from becoming dry, in particular after each of the dirt, grease and oil have been eliminated during your cleansing routine. Dry skin can lead to all sorts of problems, for example, cracking. Cracking of the skin can cause soreness and possible infection. Use your moisturizer when the skin is a little damp and not when the skin is cold. Using a gentle upward motion, as with cleansing, apply your moisturizer.

Protection:

Previous to using any product on your skin, testing the product on a small unseen area is a good idea. Know your skin type before selecting the products you intend to use. Always apply the best quality sunscreen or even better sun block if you intend to spend time outside, the sun can be really harmful to the pores and skin so it is vital to protect against its rays. Always read the label of any product for applying it to your skin.
