Every woman wants that elusive glow on her face. All you need is to devote 15 minutes out of your busy schedule everyday. Here are some tips:
Start your daily skin care regime with sunscreen. Never step out without it. Re-apply every three hours in the sun. Those with field jobs should use sunscreens with SPF 30+.u00a0u00a0
Tip: You can apply sunscreen to your lips too.
Cleansing
Cleanse your skin after coming back home. Your cleanser should be in the form of a water-soluble cream or gel.
If you apply moisturiser at night, you will need to cleanse it in the morning too.u00a0
Tip: Splash your face with warm water. Take cleanser and apply it in a circular motion, then rinse with cool water. If you have excessively oily skin, use a PH-balanced soap.
Toning
Toning is meant to remove all traces of grease and make-up from your face.
Tip: Those with sensitive skin can mash strawberries, apply it for five minutes and wash it off.
Moisturising
Moisturisers have water, oil and a number of ingredients that leave the skin soft. Everyone, irrespective of their skin type, should moisturise, except those who have acne. However, avoid excessive moisturising as it clogs the pores.u00a0
Tip: Use an oil-free moisturiser if you get frequent pimples.
