Cleansing, Toning, Moisturizing and Sunscreen a must follow daily routine.
Hola!! Guys, today I am going to pen down a very basic skin care
regime which many of us are aware of but tend to neglect owing to our fast and busy
life.
It is essential to take out time and follow this routine twice a
day. Also I believe this routine is not limited to only women, men can
also follow this as it has nothing to do with use of cosmetic products or makeup but
a basic skin care process. The only difference would be the type of product to
select based on gender.
Let’s get started!
Cleansing
First essential step for your skin to remove of dirt,
pollutants, makeup and to prevent blackheads. You can use any mild cleansing
product that suits your skin type.
· Face
wash – usually for oily skin.
· Cleansing
milk - for normal to dry skin
· Oil based cleanser – for very dry skin.
·
Scrub –
used for exfoliating skin that is removal of dead skin.
Toning
Toning is an important step which we often fail to include
in our daily routine. Toning helps in maintaining the PH balance and skin
firming. Its mild astringent properties help tighten the pores . It helps to remove residues of dirt, makeup; oil etc.
·
Rose water toner
·
Aloe Vera toner
·
Green tea toner
For summer – I would recommend cucumber toner , which
really gives a cooling effect.

Moisturizing
Cleansing and toning does take away skin’s natural moisture and
so it’s important to apply moisturizer at the end .
Moisturizer |
Sunscreen lotion
Putting on a sunscreen lotion is must while you go outdoors.Select one with higher SPF value. Apply it 20 mins before going out .
Step by step process
Select natural or herbal based products with botanical elements.
- Use face wash or cleansing milk to clean your face. Massage your skin gently in circular motions and rinse it with water. You can use scrub 2-3 times a week as a part of cleansing process.
- After cleansing, pat your skin dry and apply the toner. Take sufficient quantity of toner on cotton ball and dab on face & neck, leave it on to get absorbed.
- Last but not the least, apply the moisturizer.
I am no skincare expert but a general awareness of what your
skin demands in this ever increasing polluted environment is necessary.
Follow this CTM + S rule daily and select products that suits
well for your skin type.
