Proper Facial Skin Care - Do It The Right Way
By Michel Marchand

There are several appropriate and inappropriate ways for
performing facial skin care. Many people accept that the
application of a lot of facial creams and skin care products
will actually increase their chances of getting better looking
skin and keeping it that way. However, the truth could not be
further.

The real fact is that skin in general does not really need a
lot of products to achieve that glowing look. The first step to
healthy looking skin is to know your skin type. It is only then
that you will be able to choose the facial skin care product
that matches your skin type. This step is very important as the
wrong skin care can often make your skin look worse that when
you started.

Step Two To Proper Facial Skin Care

You probably guessed by now that cleansing has a very important
role to play in giving your skin proper skin care. However, once
you have chosen a product that matches your skin type,
maintaining a daily cleansing routine is what will eventually
give you the results that you are after. It is important that
once you start, you stick to it to avoid complications or
blemishes. Your routine for facial skin care in the morning can
be done without using any soap or cleanser.

If your face tends to get a little oily from oils and sebum
that have accumulated during your sleep, you might want to wash
it off with water. If you face is usually very oily, you might
want to add a little amount of cleanser to your morning routine
to wash the oily residue off your face. If you regularly wear
make-up to go to work or when you go out, it is highly
recommended that you use a cleanser after you have taken off
your make-up. Ensure also that the water is just warm enough so
as not to cause any broken capillaries.

Step Three To Proper Facial Skin Care

The skin is the biggest organ in the body and unlike any other,
its cells are constantly dying and new ones form to replace the
dead ones. The dead layer of skin, although unseen by the naked
eye, can block pores and cause blemishes and needs to be
"removed" on a regular basis to allow your pores to "breath".
This is called exfoliation and should be performed weekly to be
beneficial. There are many ways that you could use to exfoliate
your skin but it is far better to contact your dermatologist for
a professional exfoliation. Although this could sometimes get
quite pricey, you know that you are giving your skin the best
treatment possible.
If however you cannot afford professional exfoliation, there
are also some packs on the market that will allow you to perform
this yourself.

Step Four To Proper Facial Skin Care

Many people do not moisturize their skin/face because they
believe that they have oily skin. The truth is that only people
with acne need not moisturize. If you have oily skin, try to
find a moisturizer that will not clog your pores. Only use these
if your skin is extra oily.

If you love going to the beach, there is nothing as important
as sunscreen. For proper facial skin care, you must avoid the
damage that the sun can cause to your skin. Follow all these
steps above and you too can have healthy, younger and glowing
looking skin.
