| The care you give to your skin depends
to a large extent on the type of the skin you have. However, we will
discuss the basic skin care principles first. Then we will go into
specific recommendations based on the type of skin you have.
A daily routine of skin care requires no more than ten minutes
and requires only three simple steps each evening and morning:
Night care
1. Cleanse. Remove any makeup with
cleansing cream or a natural makeup remover. Wash with mild soap
or other cleanser, rinse, and pat dry.
2. Tone. Apply an acid-containing
solution to restore the pH balance and protective shield. For dry
skin, use a mild freshener-toner. For oily skin, use an astringent
preparation.
3. Moisturize. Splash on cool water
or mist with a spray bottle. Blot, but do not dry completely-moisturizer
magic relies more on retaining moisture than in providing it-then
smooth on a few drops of your moisturizer.
Day care
1. Cleanse lightly to remove nighttime accumulations, refresh your
face with a few splashes of water, and pat dry.
2. Tone by applying a freshener or astringent.
3. Moisturize around your eyes. If your face is excessively dry,
mist or splash with water, blot, then lightly cover with moisturizer.
