REFRESH YOUR LOOK ONCE A WEEK

                  To keep your face looking as youthful as possible, you need proper skin care. For this

once a week facial is must. The purpose of a facial is to improve circulation, deep-cleanse, smooth and moisturize the skin. A complete facial includes a cleansing, steam, exfoliation,blackhead removal, mask, toner and moisturizer.  
                               How you care for your skin is utterly dependent on the type of skin you have : oily, normal / combination, dry sensitive.




THE BASIC 7-STEP SKINCARE REGIMEN :-   

STEP 1 :- 

         Cleanser remove make-up and impurities from the surface of the skin. It clean your skin hydrate, leave

a radiant, silky and healthy complexion. Take a small amount of cleanser which suits your skin, apply it over your entire face and neck massage it gently for 1 minute in a circular motion. Then rinse your face with water, followed by a refreshing toner.
                    It soften and remove dead skin cells, which allows more effective absorption of other skin care products.

STEP 2 :-

         Exfoliation makes skin smooth and regular use of this removes the build-up of the hard keratin layer and allows better absorption of other skin care products. Take a small amount of it on your palm apply evenly on your face and gently scrub it on your skin until it dries. Leave it for 5 to 10 minutes and then rinse your face.
         In one of my earlier post I have already mentioned about natural dry fruits scrub, so you can use that also its one of my best formulation.It really nourishes our skin and its not harsh like those ready made scrubs.

STEP 3 :-

      Steaming the facial skin is a wonderful way to open the skin pores and remove the dirt. If you have one of those home steamers, then its great, but if you don't have then just just fill a medium container with hot water, place your face over it and cover up with a towel for 5 to 10 minutes. Try to cover properly so steam won't escape. Be careful to avoid hot water burns. This procedure opens up your pores for the next step.

STEP 4 :-

        After taking steam skin becomes soft, so it becomes easy to remove blackheads. Gently remove blackheads if you have but don't just squeeze them! You can use either a blackhead extractor or one of those nose strips that you stick on your nose and wait for 10 to 15 minutes, then peel off.

STEP 5 :-

       Face mask, after all these steps use face mask according to your skin or requirements like for glow, fairness, nourishment etc. If you want to go for home made face mask you can visit my previous posts. I have covered most of all face masks for different type of skin, functions, treatments.

STEP 6 :- 

       Toners refresh and balance the skin pH. Apply toner over entire cleansed skin with a help of cotton boll and leave on. Use toner twice a day after cleansing or mask to refresh your skin. Finish with serum and moisturizer.


STEP 7 :-

      Moisturizers hydrate and soften skin. Even oily skin needs a light moisturizer to maintain softness and suppleness. So use moisturizer according to your skin type.
