3-Minute Face Care Guide to Great Looking Skin
Proper Face Care is essential and should be a part of your
everyday routine. That means engaging in a skin care regimen that is
free from your old habits that eventually lead to skin problems. It is
no mystery that one of the main reasons for skin breakouts is
over-stripping. Over-stripping is when you cleanse your face too much
and/or too roughly more than twice daily. Cleansing your face this way,
was long-thought of as good and necessary to effectively remove dirt and
bacteria that cause acne. Excessive face cleansing can strip your skin
of its natural oil, causing skin irritation because of the dryness and
over stimulation of your sebaceous glands. If you continue with this
kind of skin care ritual, you will successfully cause a skin breakout in
no time.
Face
Care is important but it does not require you to take hours at a time
to do it. In fact, your skin only needs a few minutes of cleansing.
Moreover, the ideal amount of time to do just that is within 3 minutes.
To illustrate further, here are the things that you will need to accomplish within those minutes:
1.
Gently remove make-up using a clean washcloth or cotton pad starting
from the chin then moving up. Do not rub on your skin too hard or
forcefully try to remove make-up that is too difficult to come-off. This
should take you about a minute to accomplish.
2. Wet your face
with tepid water and lather a pea-sized amount of creamy facial wash
(for dry and combination skin) or translucent gel cleanser (for oily
skin) in circular motion all over your face. Give a little more
attention to areas of your skin that need more cleansing. Doing this
should only take you 30 seconds. The same rule applies when you are
exfoliating your skin. Instead of repeating the process for another 30
seconds, use your exfoliating cleanser in place of your facial wash.
3.
Rinse your face thoroughly with tepid water for another 30 seconds.
This amount of time is enough to remove all traces of your make-up and
cleanser from your face.
4. Take only a few seconds to pat your skin dry with a clean towel. Do not leave wet areas on your face and neck.
5.
Gently apply a pea-sized amount of your favorite moisturizer all over
your face and neck. A non-comedogenic moisturizer should be used if you
have oily to normal skin and an alcohol-free moisturizer is the top
choice for dry and combination skin. Refrain from rubbing the
moisturizer on the sides of your nose or around your mouth. This routine
should only take 30 seconds to accomplish.
Finally, always stick
to products that are designed for your skin type. Never experiment with
different products you see in the market without reading the ingredient
list first. Remember the importance of not over stimulating your skin
which can cause it to produce too much sebum. This means leaving behind
some of your old skin care habits and creating a new habit of using a
simpler Face Care routine.
