Skin Care

Ok so now its summer 08!!!! yes finally! Ok so this summer the best thing you can do to look fabulous is take care of your skin!

Ok so lets get started:

CLEANERS AND TONERS: During the day your skin is exposed to all the dirt and pollution of the air; overnight, as you sleep, your skin is getting rid of waste. so it is very important to cleanse your skin in the morning AND the evening.

If you wear a cream foundation or base during the day, use a cleaser and toner at night and only use soap in the morning-- cleanser dissolves foundation better than soap does.

If you have dry skin, use a cream cleanse; is you have oily skin, a foam or gel cleanser is best. message your face lightly with the cleanser as you would with the soap. Pay extra attention to the nose, chin and forehead.

A cotton ball soaked in a gentle toner will remove any remaining traces of dirt or cleanser (If the cotton ball is too dry it will irritate your skin so make sure u soak it good). you may be tempted to wipe out that oil with a strong toner, but don't do it! stong toner can irritate and over-dry oily skin, making it secrete more oil! so a gentle formula is better. if your skin is pretty sensitive, dont use soap on it at all. instead, use and extremely gentle cleanser and toner in the morning and at night.

MOISTURIZERS: If you have dry skin, smooth on a lightweight, daytime moisterizer after you wash you face. Some moisturizers have UV protection, which is a great way to cover two bases at once! if you have oily skin, you dont really need moisterizer. just drink lots and lots of water and are careful not to use too many products that dry out your skin.
