Typical daily face care: • Cleansing or washing • Moisturizing • Toning • Sun protecting
Cleansing or washing It is the first step of your daily face care. Proper cleansing removes dirt, make-up, and other connected things from your skin and also clears the way for penetration of active ingredients which might be applied afterwards. You need to follow some easy steps for cleansing or washing. At first, gently apply cleanser (cleansing milk) all over your face for half a minute, using your fingertips. Then rinse thoroughly with water till no residue is left. Make your face dry with a clean towel, do not rub your face, and be sure that your face is still moist.

Moisturizing gives benefit dry skin (and dry areas of combination skin) by improving the skin's barrier function, reducing annoyance on face, sensitivity as well as creating a neat look. If you feel you need to moisturize, make sure you pick the right type of moisturizer for your skin type. Otherwise you may do more harm than good. Usually, moisturizing the skin is an essential step in daily skin care and need of moisturizer depends upon your skin type. So, use the moisturizer which suits your skin. Toning Toning comes after the cleansing. It removes any residual cleanser or make-up that may have been left. A toner also helps restore the natural pH level of the skin, leaving skin clean, clear and ready to be hydrated. Try to use a toner that contains natural moisturizers. Toning is a safeguard for the skin against acne, atmospheric microbes, and harsh effects of sun-rays. Toners reduce the pore size temporarily, thus preventing concomitants from penetrating into the facial skin. Sun protecting For your daily face care, sun protecting is very important because sun light damages the skin, contributes to skin wrinkling and aging, as well as increase the risk of skin cancer. For that reason, whenever exposure to sunlight is expected, use a good sun screen after thorough cleansing and moisturizing. Sunscreen is any material which protects the skin from UV radiation. Sunscreens are available in the forms of topical lotion, cream, ointment, gel, or spray that can be applied to the skin. But usually people use the sunscreen as a form of lotion or cream. Use a salve or stick that can be applied to the lips, nose, and eyelids, and apply a moistener in towels that can be rubbed against the skin. For better help, wear a sunglass that protects your eyes. You can also use film screen that can be affixed to the windows of a room, car, or office.
