Beauty Skin Care Tip
The skin ages due to the deterioration of the elastic tissues. In most cases,
the skin becomes dry/dehydrated, age spots occur and some people notice small
broken capillaries. Want to have bright, clear and healthy-looking skin, all you
need to do is to follow a routine with products suitable for your skin type.
Generally speaking, skin can be divided into three different types; dry,
combination and oily. You don’t need to engage in long, lengthy beautifying
procedures or spend lots of money on expensive facial treatments in a beauty
salon or spa in order to have good skin. To have bright, clear and
healthy-looking skin, all you need to do is to follow a routine with products
suitable for your skin type. Generally speaking, skin can be divided into three
different types; dry, combination and oily. Find out your skin type and buy
products suitable for your skin type. Following a beauty regime using the wrong
products will make your skin feel even worse and there might even be skin
breakouts and tightening of skin causing more wrinkles.
Cleanse, tone and moisturize. Regardless of your schedule, you must find the
time to cleanse, tone and moisturize your facial skin at least twice a day. Some
people do it three-time-a-day but it depends on your schedule, your lifestyle,
skin-type and weather conditions. If you’re not sure, visit a beautician and ask
for their professional advice.

Beauty Skin Care Tips
For Dry Skin
If your skin is dried up, split or fissured, apply mustard oil to the affected
parts before going to bed every day.
To make a face pack for dry skin, mix the juice of half a lemon with two
teaspoons of olive oil and the yolk of an egg. Apply it on the face, leave it on
for half an hour - then wash it off.
The top of the milk can be used as a face pack which helps to soothe the skin.
In winter, use a paste of besan for bathing instead of soap. It prevents dryness
and the skin remains smooth.
For Oily Skin
Rub a rind of lemon over your face, this will lessen grease and whiten your
complexion.
Take a teaspoon of lime-juice and stir in half a teaspoon of honey and few drops
of milk. Mix well and apply over your face and neck fifteen minutes before you
take your bath. This lotion will have a mild bleaching effect on a greasy skin,
because of its excessive oil may be rather sallow.
Equal parts of lime juice and cucumber juice acts as astringent and helps to
bleach the skin.
Try a mild, soap-free cleansing bar or wash-off cleanser and rinse with warm
water. Avoid using soap or strongly medicated products which can strip away the
skin’s natural protective barrier of oils. Follow with a light, non-comedogenic,
oil-free moisturizer that won’t clog pores and cause blackheads. Use an eye gel,
not eye cream or moisturizer, around the delicate eye area.

Top 10 Tips For Your Skin care
We all dream of getting a miracle in a bottle. And so much ad copy leads us
to believe it exists: An instant facelift. Zero pores. Paper smoothness. But our
obsession with being flawless is absurd. Wrinkles happen -- adding character and
depth to the face. Other changes occur as well -- features can become more
pronounced and bone structure can become more angular over time. We get scars.
We get freckles. And other dings and dents. Are these catastrophes? Or merely a
map of our lives? Certain products can help to offset all this, but aging is a
natural (and beautiful) process that happens to all of us. And acceptance, not
denial, looks better on everyone.
A lot of product lines have gotten way too complicated -- aside from being
costly, they take up too much time. You can keep it simple, and just as
effective. Many of us overindulge our skin anyway -- if we're dry, we tend to
overmoisturize; if we're oily, we tend to overstrip.
Great skincare, like makeup, doesn't have to cost a lot. A $100 jar of
moisturizer? Forget it! Not many of us could afford a daily routine in that
price range. So don't get caught up in the marketing madness and don't pay for
pseudo science. Your endorsement is the only one that counts. Here, my top 10
skin tips:
- Protect yourself from the sun -- use sunscreen and avoid direct sunlight
between the hours of 10 and 2.
- Don't -- I repeat -- don't smoke. Your skin is a large organ and it
needs a lot of circulation. Smoking impairs that dramatically. That's why
smokers' skin looks dull and gray. Instead of having oxy-generated blood
delivered to the surface of the skin, they're getting poisons and oxidants.
- Get adequate rest and nutrition.
- Protect yourself from stress -- both emotional and environmental stress.
- Wash your face twice a day and put on the proper treatment product. I'm
amazed when women tell me they don't wash their face in the morning. A lot
of icky stuff collects overnight -- dead skin cells, dirt, and dust!
- Don't neglect certain areas of the skin. Elbows, heels, neck, and
decolletage need moisturizing, and your scalp and the tops of your feet need
sun protection.
- Touch your face less and wash your hands more! Don't get too surgical on
yourself. It's very tempting to pick, poke, squeeze, and scratch in front of
the mirror. But the more you traumatize the skin, the greater your risk of
scarring. Apply treatment products and let them work.
- Keep your makeup clean. Replace the sponges in your compact on a regular
basis. Now and then, toss the whole works and start fresh -- the average
shelf life for cosmetics is 6 to 12 months. Don't buy products so expensive
that you'll be heartbroken if you have to throw them away.
- Exercise moderation. More is not always better. Moisturizer, for
example, is the most overused product in America. We've been bamboozled by
cosmetic companies into thinking every square inch of our body has to be
slathered. And it's simply not true. Exfoliators are another thing to be
careful with. Used too often, they overacidify and irritate your skin.
- Beware of counter girls. If it were up to them, you'd be in the bathroom
for two and a half hours each morning -- putting 80 layers on your face.
Keep your regimen simple. And when you do add a new product, do it gradually
so your skin has time to adjust. Each skincare or makeup product has an
average of 20 to 40 ingredients -- you're introducing 20 to 40 potential
allergens to your face every time you try something new.
The right ways to cleanse, moisturize & exfoliate your skin
Here we show you tips on how to properly care for your skin, from the right
way to wash your face, to the best moisturizers and UV protection.
Before we start with the proper daily 3-step skincare routine, you'll need to
know your skin type. How you care for your skin is utterly dependent on the type
of skin you have: oily, normal/combination, dry, sensitive or sun- damaged.
Check out this article to figure out what skin type you have.
The Basic 3-Step Skincare Regimen
# Step 1: Cleansing Simple is key here. You need to find a good cleanser
that your skin responds well to, and stick with it. Avoid bar soaps as they tend
to dry out the skin. According to Rona Berg, in her book, 'Beauty,' a French
cosmetics executive once told her 'soap should only ever touch your skin from
the neck down.' We agree. According to Berg, most cleansers contain oil, water
and 'surfactants'. The oil dissolves oil on your face, surfactants dissolve dirt
and makeup and the water washes it all away. Who knew? The secret is finding the
right mix of oil. (Makes sense to us). Too much on your skin will clog pores,
while too little will dry it out. This is why you need to know your skin type.
Be careful not to cleanse too often. Washing at night should do you. While some
skincare experts swear you should cleanse skin with creamy cleansers that you
wipe off with a tissue, never letting water touch your skin (some hard waters
are especially hard on skin), we prefer the water method. In the morning, a
splash of lukewarm water is all you need (we find it's great for removing excess
oils from your nightly moisturizing). Never wash your face with hot or cold
water (both can cause broken capillaries). Also be careful about overcleansing
skin.
Here's the best way to wash your face: Use warm water to loosen dirt and clogged
pores. Use a dime-sized bit of cleanser, then rinse with cool or lukewarm water.
You'll also want to take off your makeup with a proper makeup remover.
# Step 2: Exfoliate Exfoliation is the step most people skip in their
weekly skincare routine. But trust me, if you start properly exfoliating your
skin, you will notice an almost immediate difference. According to Berg, one of
the reasons men's skin looks more youthful than women's is because men tend to
exfoliate daily when they shave. There are several ways to exfoliate skin:
Microdermabrasion, chemical peels and retinoids.
Scrubs work by removing the top layer of dead skin cells that tend to dull your
complexion. We find exfoliating skin once a week with a microdermabrasion kit
keeps skin glowing year-round. Make sure you use a gentle scrub with tiny
grains. Big grains in cheap scrubs can tear skin and cause more harm than good.
My favorite microdermabrasion kit is made by Lancome.
In the hour it takes to get a chemical peel, you can take off five years from
your face. Can't afford the pricetag for a monthly peel? Try some
over-the-counter peels that work over the course of a month. I prefer MD
Skincare's.
Retinoids (such as Retin-A) also work by removing the top layer of dead skin
cells while also generating collagen in the skin. "Collagen is the skin's
structural fiber," dermatologist Dennis Gross said in the October 2005 issue of
O Magazine. "As we get older, it breaks down, creating lines and large pores."
Skincare experts disagree on all sorts of things, but most of them consider
retinoids to be a miracle skin saver.
Should you use a toner? Some people swear by toners, but many beauty experts do
not (I once read a skincare expert claim, 'toners are only for copy machines').
Toners are meant to remove all remaining traces of oil, makeup and dirt, but a
good cleanser should do this. I firmly believe it's up to you. If you like the
way your skin feels with a toner. Buy it. Use it. Enjoy it.
# Step 3: Moisturize While I know of at least one famous beauty editor
who swore skin doesn't need moisturizer, basically everyone else I've read
disagrees and is an adamant believer in it. A basic law of beauty is that
everyone, no matter her skin type, should moisturize. Even if your skin is oily,
it will benefit from moisturizers. (The only exception is those with acne). Why?
Moisturizers seal moisture into skin (Berg calls this the 'Saran Wrap effect').
So how much should you moisturize? Your skin will tell you. When your skin is
tight, it's crying out for moisture. Be careful not to overmoisturize -- this
can cause clogged pores.
