Finally, it is a weekend. Two solid days with no work, mostly at home, a bit more time for yourself and to finally concentrating on taking care of your skin. Well, for all those beauty freaks out there, here are some tips that can help you take a better care of your skin, along with following your regular skin care regime;
Boil the kettle to get some hot water, pour the water into a bowl, then put a towel over your head and hold the bowl (make sure it's not too hot to hold!) near your face for about 5-10 minutes.
Wash your face with warm (not hot) water and a cleanser for your skin type. For example, if you have acne, you would want an oil free or lightly medicated cleanser. Nothing too harsh or drying, because you'll more than likely be washing your face twice daily.
Rinse your face thoroughly. Make sure the soap is GONE. Do a final rinse with cool (not cold) water to close pores.
Pat your face dry with a soft cloth. Don't rub, it spreads bacteria.
Once your face is mostly dry, allow it to finish air drying for a few more minutes.
Moisturize your face, once again with a product for your skin type.
And the following tips can be considered while taking the regular care of your skin;
Don't rub hard when you cleanse, or really any time else. Massage gently.
Harsh, drying cleansers will actually make the problem worse, so go for a mild one.
Masks are great to add into your skincare routine. Clay masks are great for most skins types, and most masks are recommended for use once or twice weekly.
If you can without damaging skin, wash your face morning and night. You don't have to steam as often, just as is convenient.
Always make sure your hands are clean before you start cleaning your face! This will make sure that bacteria and oil from your hands do not end up in your pores.
Egg makes a nice mask to tighten up pores, and oatmeal is great for oily skin. Just search up natural beauty recipes and you'll find all kinds of great stuff.
Try to find and use a toner. Toner removes leftover dirt and soap. For example, the Clinique 3 step program is facewash, toner, and a good moisturizer.
