Build A Proper Skin Care Routine A simple skin care routine can help you achieve healthy and glowing skin. Use a cleanser, toner, serum (for a skin concern, if any), moisturizer and sunscreen and you are good to go. Religious practice of a skin care routine can help you combat skin issues like acne, dark spots, tan, aging etc. Cleanse Gently And Moisturize Are you using a cleanser that’s making your skin feel too dry or too oily? It’s time to switch to a gentle and pH balancing cleanser that suits your skin. Wash your face twice a day to get rid of the dirt, excess oil and dead skin cells on the skin. If you ditch cleansing, your skin will show its ugly side sooner or later. Soon after cleansing, use a non-greasy or creamy moisturizer based on your skin type. Moisturizing will keep your skin soft and supple, besides strengthening its barrier. Remove Makeup Before You Sleep You may want to hit the bed without removing makeup after a long, tiring day. But did you know that your sleeping time is when your skin can repair and renew? Imagine the plight of your skin if you sleep with makeup on and do not give it a chance for repair. Make sure you wash off all your makeup with a gentle cleanser and use a toner to wipe off even the last bit of it. Exfoliate Your Skin Once A Week Consider gentle exfoliation once every week as it removes dead skin cells and pushes a fresh layer of skin to the surface. Do not over scrub as it can strip off the natural oils from the skin and make it dry.
