Face Cleansing Tips

If you wear makeup often you should get into a good routine of cleansing, toning, and moisturizing your skin every evening.

By getting into a good routine of cleansing you help to hold back the aging clock by maintaining your skin in better condition.

Cleansing will remove all the old makeup that has been on your face throughout the day.

It would also clear away the accumulation of grease and grime that is collected on your face through the day from your working conditions and even from your hands as many people tend to touch the face often throughout the day.

Pull your hair back from your face to ensure that you clean all of the skin right to your hairline.
When cleaning off mascara from around the eyes, be very careful not to stretch the skin.

When working around the eyes use cotton balls or cotton buds to remove the mascara and eye shadow using a quality cleansing lotion.

This is one area that you have to be particularly careful as the skin is most delicate around the eyes.
Over the rest of your face you can apply the cleansing lotion using your hands.

Massage the cleansing cream into the skin particularly those areas where you are prone to blackheads and other skin blemishes are.

By massaging the cleansing cream into the skin it will help to ensure that any buildup of makeup grease and grime will be removed from the pores of the skin and reduce the possibility of further skin problems such as acne.

Once you have thoroughly applied the cleansing cream all over your face you can gently remove it with a tissue or cotton ball in preparation for toning.

Even though you have used a cleansing cream at night it is always wise to get into the habit of washing your face first thing in the morning.

This will ensure that you are starting with a clean foundation in the morning before applying your makeup.

Alpha Hydroxy Acids

The dead cells that sit on the surface of the skin are what dull the complexion, clog the pores, and make the skin look dry.

There are naturally occurring substances in our body that break down these dead cells, and these are called Alpha hydroxy acids.

Alpha hydroxy acids are also responsible for the stimulation of new collagen growth.

And we all know what collagen can do for the condition of the skin.

Anything that will give you tighter, more toned skin, such as collagen is something that we all should promote so it goes without saying that any opportunity to get more alpha hydroxy acid is going to improve the texture of the skin and help us to look younger.

Skin care products often include alpha hydroxy acids in their formulas in order to help improve the quality of your skin.

For them to be effective they need to have a certain percentage of the various acids.

The acids are derived from various different sources including citric acid from fruits such as oranges, glycolic acid from sugar cane, lactic acid from milk products, malic acid from grapes, and tartaric acid from apples.

Using a combination of these acids in skin care products will help to improve and in some cases treat discoloration of the skin as they have light bleaching properties in them.

The skincare products that you will get from a skin specialist will generally have double the amount of alpha hydroxy acids in them, as compared to the over-the-counter products from the cosmetic manufacturers.

Depending on the condition of your skin it might be more economical to see a skin care specialist and get the right products right away rather than relying on cosmetic company products that could take a long time to have any effect.

Get Rid of Acne – Simple Solutions That Really Work

Acne plagues millions. And when you suffer from acne and breakouts it can have a negative effect on your confidence. The good news is to get rid of acne, there are simple solutions that really work.

#1 Cut back on sugar. There are both good and bad bacteria that live in our bodies. And some bacteria, the kind that can cause acne, thrive on sugar. Additionally, sugar affects your hormone levels and blood sugar levels both of which can cause a strain on your body. This strain makes it difficult for your body to fight any kind of infection, even a small pimple.

Cutting back on sugar helps balance your body’s systems and it eliminates the food bacteria thrive on.

If your diet is particularly high in sugar and starchy carbohydrates (think white bread and baked goods) then going on a sugar elimination diet will show dramatic improvements in your skin.

There’s a reason chocolate is so often linked to acne, because it’s high in sugar. It’s also high in dairy and if you have a dairy sensitivity, which many people do, it can cause acne. Additionally, dairy is often full of hormones added to the cows to help them produce more milk. These hormones can wreak havoc on your system. Common foods that can cause acne include sugary foods, dairy, alcoholic
beverages, fried foods, meat treated with hormones, and common allergy causing foods like nuts.

#2 Exfoliate and moisturize. Exfoliation of your skin keeps the pores from being clogged. Clogged pores are the precursor to a blemish. However, beware of harsh abrasives. Many facial scrubs are just too abrasive for sensitive skin. Instead, use products with alpha hydroxy acids, retinols and salicylic acids to remove dead skin and debris from your face gently and consistently.

A common protocol might be to use a cleanser with salicylic acid and a night cream with retinol or alpha hydroxy acids or AHAs. Some skin care protocols for teens with acne contain benzoyl peroxide which can work quite well if you have particularly oily skin. However, for adults and those prone to dry skin, it can worsen the acne problem.

#3 Watch what you put on your face and when. Makeup can clog pores. If you wear makeup choose a non-comedogenic versions. Don’t wear makeup when you exercise or when you’re going to be outside in the sun for extended periods of time.

#4 Avoid too much stress. Easier said than done, right? Stress has an effect on our hormones and can cause breakouts. If you’re going to be dealing with stress, say you have a big project coming up, up the vitamin B complex and get some sunshine or vitamin D. Vitamin B helps your body manage stress and it helps protect your skin. Vitamin D, which our body makes when we get about 20 minutes of sunlight each day, helps promote healthy skin.

#5 Try not to touch your skin. This goes beyond not squeezing or picking at your acne. Our fingers are full of bacteria. If you’re prone to acne much of it may be from simply transferring the bacteria on your hands to your face.

Overall, take good care of yourself. Get plenty of sleep, exercise, fresh air and a good healthy diet.

Good overall health helps your skin stay healthy and acne free. It helps your body manage obstacles, like stress and hormones, without suffering a breakout.

Moisturizing Your Skin

One of the best ways to moisturize your skin is to soak in a bath.

Not only will it help you to relax and rejuvenate, but the warm water from the bath will soften and moisturize your skin better than most products you can buy a market.

You will get considerably more benefit if you use some good bath oil.

Bath oils will not only leave you smelling nice but they will seal any moisture into the skin and remain in the skin when you get out of the bath.

If you do use oils when you have a soak in the bath then it is less likely that you will need to use a moisturizer when you have finished bathing.

If you have a regular regime of brushing your skin, then combining this with a soak in a bath might be all the moisturizing that your skin needs.

If you prefer not to use oil in the bath then the simple act of having a warm bath will assist in any moisturizing that you do afterwards.

Always choose moisturizers with silicones where possible because they won't tend to block the pores of your skin.

You might need to pay a little more for these products because most of the mass manufactured products use a cheap petroleum or mineral oil in their moisturizers. Even some of the better brands will use these as a base for their products.

Always read the labels well before buying a moisturizer and know what you're putting on your skin.

You might be surprised to learn that some of the ingredients that are used in some moisturizers can actually dry out your skin and you will be better off by not using them at all.

If you're unsure about what you're putting on your skin then the best bet is to have a warm bath with a few drops of bath oils.

It is cheap, comforting and effective.

Eye Creams

Eye creams are one of the most important skin care products that you can buy.

The skin around the eye is the most delicate skin on the face and for this reason extra care is needed when applying products in this area.



It is also necessary to take more time in selecting products that you will be using around your eyes.
Test small samples before making a decision to buy a product.


The skin around your eyes has a tendency to become more 'wrinkled' than other areas of the face and you will often find that this is the area of skin where there will be more blood vessels visible.


These visible blood vessels will appear as dark patches and shadowing under the eyes.

On most people the skin around the eyes will be more sensitive and that means it will be more susceptible to damage.

This is even more of a problem for people who already have sensitive skin.

The skin around the eyes will generally tend to be somewhat drier than the rest of the face and this is because there are fewer oil glands present.


You can see now why taking care to get a good eye cream should be one of the most important purchases for your face care products.


You should look for products that are not only suitable for delicate skin but also offer some form of protection against the sun.

Sunglasses will certainly help to preserve the quality of the skin around the eyes but there will always be times when that skin gets exposed to ultraviolet light.


Look for eye creams that have moisturizing ingredients in them and also, there are many eye creams on the market that have anti-wrinkle properties in them.


These are well worth the money even if you need to save it elsewhere on other products.
