How TO Have A Skin Facial

Facial skin is one of the most sensitive areas of the human body. Most people saybeauty
is only skin deep. While this is true, we still cannot deny the fact that a beautiful skin especially on the face will affect many aspects of our lives. Having a healthy skin helps our self esteem which plays a vital role on our success on any field we decide to venture in. With that said, there are four step facial skincare routine that you should follow.
Before we go to the steps, you have to know your skin type. Your skincare regimen should be based entirely on what type of skin you have. This is categorized based on: oily, normal and/or combination, and sensitive, dry, and sun damaged. These categories are based on your skin’s oil production. This oil production is based on factors such as diet, genes, level of stress, your current skincare regimen, and the medications you are taking.
You will know if your skin is oily if you have enlarged pores and if your face is usually shiny. This type of skin is prone to blemishes and blackheads. A combination or normal type of skin tends to be oily on the T-zone and dry on the cheeks. It has medium size pores and the texture and color of the face is even. A sensitive type of skin is thin, has fine pores, and delicate. This type of skin easily flushes and is prone to allergic reaction, rashes, and broken capillaries. Dry skin appears dull and ashy. Dead skin buildup is also common in this skin type. A sun damaged skin tends to have visible wrinkles. It has broken capillaries and its texture is leathery.

Once you know what your skin type is, you can now go to the four steps on how to take care of your facial skin.
  • The first step is as basic as cleansing. What you need to do is find a cleanser that will suit your skin. Once you found it, you should stick to it. There are many cleansers available in the drugstore. You should stay away from bar soaps since they tend to dry out your skin. You also need to remember not to cleanse more than thrice a day since this will also tend to dry your skin out.
  • The second step is to exfoliate. According to some study, men’s skin tends to look younger since they are exfoliating when they shave. There are many ways to exfoliate. Chemical peels, retinoid, and microdermabrasion are some of the most common.
  • The third step is to moisturize. The basic law of skincare is that all skin types should moisturize even the oily ones. Moisturizers will skin moisture into your skin. This will make your skin a younger and healthier look. Some experts even suggest eye creams since the skin around the eye does not contain any fatty tissue. This makes it very susceptible to wrinkles. With eye creams, this area is thickened.
  • The final and most important step is to apply sunscreen. The facial skin is the most exposed part of the body. It is more prone to sun damage that can cause wrinkles. Choose a sunscreen that contains Mexoryl or Helioplex.
