Facial skin needs daily care to be healthy from the inside and youthful over time.
Cleansing
Proper makeup removal will help clean daily makeup and at the same time, remove dirt and sebum (sweat) from the facial skin. But what is the right way? Very simply, swipe the makeup remover cotton from under the chin to the cheekbones and remove makeup from the inside out, from bottom to top, without rubbing too hard. Do not pull the makeup remover cotton from the forehead to the cheeks and chin because it can cause the facial skin to sag.
Wash one's face
First, you will wash your face with warm water. This will help open pores, so dirt and sebum can be thoroughly removed. Then put a sufficient amount of facial cleanser into the palm of your hand, rub gently to create foam, and apply it evenly to your face. While applying, gently massage the T-zone. Do this for about 2–3 minutes, and then rinse your face thoroughly with cool water.
After washing your face, you will use toner to balance your skin. In fact, many girls skip this step in the skincare process; however, so that the skin can absorb the maximum nutrients contained in skin care products (in the next care step), you should not ignore this. Depending on your preferences and habits, you can choose to use toner in liquid or spray form.
Special Treatment
If your facial skin has some problems with acne, melasma, dark spots, etc., facial care will be a little different in this step. That is, after balancing the skin's pH, special treatment products (usually containing BHA, AHA, or Retinol) will be applied to the skin area that needs improvement.
Note: After applying, leave it alone for about 20–30 minutes before performing the next skincare steps.
Mask
Applying masks can be done before or after moisturizing the skin because nowadays there are many types of facial masks, each with a different function and usage, such as whitening masks and tightening masks. Pore-tightening will be applied after the moisturizing step. As for the detox mask, you should apply it before moisturizing.
When consulting and applying facial care methods at home, many of you wonder whether you should moisturize your skin or not, especially when you have oily skin, not dry skin.
In fact, moisturizing the skin should be done for all skin types, not just oily skin. Moisturizing properly not only helps keep your facial skin moist and smooth but also limits the evaporation of serum or other skin care products. You can use cream or lotion. For oily skin, please note that you should choose a light moisturizer and apply it very thinly to avoid clogging pores and causing acne.
Sunscreen
In the daytime skin care process, it is impossible not to mention sunscreen, a product that helps protect the skin from the harmful effects of UV rays in the sun. You should apply sunscreen immediately after performing the above skincare steps and 20–30 minutes before going out.
