Skin Care

A good skin care regime would include the following:

• cleaning
  All good skincare regimens begins with proper cleansing.
  This removes the dirty surface film that the skin picks up from our surroundings, and the more polluted the surroundings, the better the cleansing needs to be.
  A good thorough cleansing is absolutely necessary for healthy skin. To clean the skin, its best to select a gentle hypoallergenic, pH-balanced cream, lotion or soap, designed to help dissolve surface dirt and any makeup.
  To remove the buildup of normal dead cells, it is beneficial to regularly exfoliate the skin, with a gentle scrub.
  
• toning
  

• moisturizing
  The single disadvantage of cleansing your skin is the simultaneous removal of beneficial oils on your skin. These oils help retain precious moisture and form a barrier between the polluted environment and yourself. This drawback is easily neutralized by using a good moisturizer.


• sun protection
  The final step for good skin care is protecting ourselves from the environment. The sun emits dangerous ultra-violet rays, which can cause lasting damage to your skin and can cause health problems like skin cancer with continuous exposure.
  Whenever outside, even on cloudy or overcast days, use a sunscreen with a minimum of SPF15. If you are unsure of the SPF number, check the container.


• skin treatments
  At times of injury, burns, cuts, allergic skin reactions, eczema, etc. the skin needs extra care to cope with the demands placed on it.
  At this time, specialized skin treatment creams and lotions might be needed.
  In other cases, as in the rupture of connective tissue, leading to stretch marks you could look at a specialized gel. For specific problems, like baggy puffy eyes. Should you however experience a medical problem, kindly contact a licensed medical practitioner.
