Daily skin routine - Tips and advise

Hi fellas,

       We all know that cleaning our face is important. Yet we get confused most of the time when it comes to our skin care routine.
So here is step by step guide to your daily skin care:
  1. Know your skin type:  First know your skin type and then buy the products. 

source : Skin types

  •   Normal (Not too dry or oily. smooth)
  •   Oliy (easy to find out, shiny skin with large pores)
  •   Dry: (seems rough and bumpy and tight)
  •   Combination:(oily + normal, oily at T-zone i.e nose,chin & forehead area) 
  •   Sensitive:(burns easily, have reactions to certain cosmetics, difficult to handle)
So first know your skin type and then buy the products accordingly. :)
   
    2. Cleanser: It is the first step, Buy a good cleanser according to your skin type. apply good amount of cleanser on your face and massage for at least 2 minutes. then remove it either by damp cotton or with warm water.
       
- Normal/combination skin:  Use foam or cream cleanser like Garnier pure active, Neutrogena deep clean

   3. Toner: After few minutes, Tone your face with good toner using a cotton pad, do not rinse off. Most people try to avoid this step but I think You should not skip it as toner helps in restoring your skin's PH and tone your skin and also kills bacteria
      
 - Normal/combination: Use Alcohol-free toner like Garnier fresh essentials, Himalaya clarifying tone.
    
  -Dry skin: Moisturiser kind of toner like biotique cucumber water toner, the body shop vitamin ehydrating toner.
    
 - Oily skin: use astringents with ingredients like alcohol, witch hazel or acids like kaya purifying toner, lotus basiltone.

  4. Moisturiser: Apply moisturiser according to your skin type. there are lots of moisturiser available and if you live in hot region, you should buy the moisturiser with good SPF. it will protect you from sun tan or burn.

   
- Normal/combination: Use cream based moisturiser like Nivea creme, Lacto calamine
   
- Dry skin: Use moisturiser rich in essential oils to soothe and revive skin like Nivea soft moisturising cream, lotus wheatnourish.
  
 - Oily skin: Use gel based moisturiser   like Lacto calamine oily to normal.

Some Extra care:


  • Exfoliate: Exfoliate you face once or twice a week with a good exfoliating face wash. It removes dead cells, reduce acne and gives you smooth skin. 
                    - Rinse your face with warm water, gently use exfoliating face wash on your face and massage for half minute, Don't scrub too hard ,remove it with damp cotton.
