Daily Skin Care Routine



No matter what your skin type, having a regular cleansing regimen every day is critical for good skin health.
Most skin experts advise that excessive cleaning should also be avoided at all costs. Washing your skin
twice a day with a good facial cleanser that is designed for your skin type helps keep acne and other skin
infections under control.

Daily Skin Care


Cleansing gets rid of left over makeup and cosmetics that will end up clogging your pores. It also removes
any sweat and environmental impurities from the surface of the skin. Many cleansers also hydrate the skin
and make it supple and elastic. It is very important to use the correct cleanser for your skin type. Do not
use regular soap to wash your face. Regular soap is high alkaline which will dry out your skin. Some also
contain perfume which removes the normal protective sebum layer from your skin. This tends to make
your skin loses its normal moisture and in some cases may even stimulate an oily skin to produce more oil


Toning your skin is the second step in your daily skin care regimen. Toner gets rid of any excess cleanser
that is still on your skin, it refreshes the skin and even out its pH levels. It also enhances cell renewal and
refines the texture of your skin. Use a toner that gives your skin the vitamins and minerals it needs and you
will see your skin revitalized in no time at all. The toner should be applied right after the cleansing (twice a
day) and be left on.



Protecting your skin from sun rays is another daily skin care routine that you should adopt. Sun blocks are
available for all skin types. Select one that suits yours and use it diligently whenever you need to go out.


oily skin problems and cause acne or red patches. Drink plenty of water each day to clear out the toxins
from your skin and to keep it supple and elastic all day long.




Skin Care Routine- Facial Mask Treatments




Another weekly skin care process you should adopt is the use of facial masks. You may be using masks
when you need to prepare your skin for a special event or when it seems very dull and lifeless. But making
this a part of your weekly regimen ensures that it gets done week after week.



There are four ways in which you can exfoliate the dead skin cells: Granular, Cream, Enzyme and Chemical.



Granular exfoliation is best to use on young teenage skins with no acne. Usually fine peach pits are in the
exfoliation and this helps to remove any dead skin cells. Use a wet sponge to remove the scrub from your
face.


Why is Facial Mask Treatment Necessary?



Facial masks give your skin suppleness, hydration and elasticity. Masks (especially clay based ones) absorb
excess oil from your skin and deep cleanse the pores. For those who suffer from severe acne, masks with
salicylic acid are very effective as it also revitalizes the skin.





Most facial masks diminish the fine lines that appear on the face with age. Alpha hydroxyl acids in the mask
speed up cell renewal to have this effect. This also results in smoother skin texture. Regular use of facial
masks also makes your skin firmer and evens out the skin tone. This prepares your skin well for perfect
makeup application.




Use your facial mask right after a thorough cleansing and exfoliation. The pores are unclogged by the
cleansing and exfoliation. The beneficial ingredients in the facial mask can penetrate the skin far better at
this time so that they have maximum impact.



The following items will be used:

• Glass Bowl
• Makeup Remover
• Ear Buds
• Cleanser
• Exfoliator
• Mask
• Toner

Now let’s start with the practical…



Step 1: Take two cotton wools and apply makeup remover onto them. Use them to wipe off the makeup
from both eyes.


Step 2: Take another cotton wool and wipe your client’s lips to remove her lipstick.



Step 3: Use wet ear buds to remove any leftover mascara that might still be on your client’s eyes.



Step 4: Take a cleanser, appropriate to the skin type that your client has and apply a generous amount of
cleanser on the palm of your hand. Wipe both hands together so that the cleanser can spread evenly over
your hands. This ensures an easy application over the face area.
Begin by applying the cleanser on the chin and work in circles upwards towards the top of her mouth. Use
both ring fingers and middle fingers to perform the circles.
Spread the cleanser, in circular movements, from the top of her mouth onto her nose.
Make circles over her nose and move upwards between her eyebrows, making circles around both eyes.
Moving onto your client’s forehead; take both ring fingers and middle fingers and do stroking movements
from her eyebrows towards her hairline.
Take your ring fingers and middle fingers sideways to her temples and do circular movements.
Working from your client’s temples, make circular movements firstly underneath her eyes and move back
to her temples. Also go over her cheekbones and then again almost over her jaw line.
Take both hands and “wipe” around your client’s jaw line, ending it off at her décolleté area.


Step 5: Take your sponges and remove the cleanser from her face.



Step 6: Take the exfoliator and squeeze a generous amount onto your hands. This is applied in the same
manner as your cleanser. (This step is part of the weekly skin care routine).



Step 7: Wet your sponges and remove the exfoliator from your client’s face.



Step 8: Take your mask, one that is best for your client’s skin type, and apply it with a mask brush or with
clean hands. Clay masks should not be applied over the eye or mouth area, whereas mud masks can be
applied over them. (This is also part of the weekly skin care routine).
Leave the mask on for 10 – 20 minutes, according to the type of mask you are using.



Step 9: Wet your facial sponges and begin to remove the mask from the chin area and work upwards.
Repeat this step until the mask is removed.


Step 10: Take your toner and apply a generous amount onto two round cotton wools. Use both hands to
apply the toner all over her face.
Although the toner should be left on, the access can be removed with a tissue.



Step 11: Select a sun block that suits your client’s skin and apply it over her face. Use this diligently
whenever you need to go out.



Step 12: Squeeze a small amount of eye cream onto both your ring fingers. Wipe both fingers over each
other just to spread the eye cream. “Push” this on around her eyes so that you do not stretch the skin in
this delicate area.



Step 13.The last step to your daily skin care routine is Moisturizer. Take your moisturizer and squeeze out
about 1, 5- 2cm of cream. Finally, rub your hands together and gently press the moisturizer all over the face.
