Moisturizing

As women get older, their natural sebum production slows. Thus your skin needs inner and outer hydration to maintain is strength, flexibility and integrity.   Moisturizers also reduce the risk of mechanical damage to the skin, by reducing friction and reducing the chance the skin will be stretched or torn by contact.

So how can you protect your skin? Well, you can protect and moisturize in one step by using an all-inclusive skin lotion that provides vitamins C, E, and A, and oils to moisturize and a sun block. Sun block is a must as it helps to repel the harmful UV rays that can cause premature aging of your skin, wrinkles, ugly darkened spots etc. You can also provide your own antioxidant protection by applying solutions of nutrient vitamins/herbs to your skin, then using a moisturizing sunscreen.

How To Apply Moisturizer
Always apply moisturizer lightly to face in outward motions.  Similarly, always apply the moisturizer to the neck in upward motions.  Be careful not to pull or stretch your skin. For daytime, if your moisturizer does not already contain sun protection, apply a grease-free sunscreen to your face, throat, as well as all body skin exposed to the sun.

Exfoliate

This is another very important step in your skincare regime to keep your face supple and youthful. As your skin grows and repairs itself, the outer layer of dead cells slough off. To expedite this process and get to the fresher, newer cells below, it’s recommended that you exfoliate your skin at least once a week. 

There are basically two ways of doing this - one is mechanically and the other is to chemically exfoliate.

For mechanical exfoliation, look for a good skin scrub which can be a microdermabrasion cream or a loufah pad. For a chemical exfoliation, you can use one of the common acidic exfoliating preparations, glycolic acid peels, lactic acid peels, alpha-hydroxy, etc.  There are also some skin cleansers that come with this step in built in the cleansers. So how often should you exfloliate? It really depends on your skin type. Your skin type will determine how often you should exfoliate and which method you should use.

For example, if you have an easily Irritated skin which often breaks out with acne, eczema or rosacea, then it is not recommended that heavy scrubbing of mechanical exfoliants be used. A much more gentler chemical formula is in fact more suitable and should be used only once in a while as it may still be irritating to such a sensitive skin. If you are older, with a highly sun-damaged skin, then you may require either or both methods, perhaps you need to do the exfoliating more often, in order to remove the layers of damaged skin. Besides it also help stimulate the production of healthy collagen structures in the deeper layers of the skin.

Whatever formula you plan to use, exfoliants should be applied similar to cleansers.  If you are using a chemical peel, avoid “scrubbing” your skin, let the chemicals do the work.  If using a scrub, apply VERY light pressure, and work in tiny circles.  Again, be careful not to pull or stretch the skin. 

Most exfoliants will require some time to “work”.  Applying exfoliants right before showering is a good idea, because you can rinse them off under the shower, which helps in removing any residue.

Once you have "tone" your skin, you must take this action to protect your skin : protected from harmful UV rays daily.  This is a MUST if you want to prevent pre-mature aging. “Protecting” is a two-step process.

The first part of the process is providing your skin with antioxidants and ingredients that will help it protect itself by maintaining natural protective enzymes.
If you are going to use a vitamin/nutrient antioxidant solution or serum, you can soak a cotton ball with your solution and apply to face, patting your “problem areas” first, then gently wiping over the rest of your face.  Otherwise you can consider using some mask.

The second part is providing it with sunscreen protection. Apply to neck in upward motion.  If using a commercial antioxidant serum, follow manufacturer’s directions.

Here’s a continuation of Daily Skin Care Tips Part 1 :

Toning

Many women do not know this but toning is an important step of skincare. Why? Well, using a skin care toner is crucial not only to restoring the skin’s natural pH, but also a great way to ensure that whatever residue makeup that you may have on are totally removed. There is another important role that toning plays. It provides your skin a protective acid mantle that protects the skin and makes the skin stronger. It also reduces the size of skin pores. With so many advantages, you really have no excuse to why you are not using a toner after cleansing. However, there are several types of toners, from from gentle acidic formulations, whitening, firming to highly antiseptic formulas (just nice for acne proned skin). So depending on your skin type, choose the appropriate type for you skin.

How to use a toner :
Soak a cosmetic pad liberally with your toner. Start by gently wiping your face from your nose outward. Then wipe over the forehead horizontally. You can also wipe your neck in an upward stroke. Important note is that you should avoid the delicate skin around your eyes ( unless the toner you use is specifically made for the eyes or is gentle enough formula that contains absolutely no alcohol or peroxide )

Here are some good recommendation from Shills skin care range :

Acne proned skin? Try this Shills Blue Herbal Toner that helps in the inflammation of your skin as well as control the oil. Made specially for people with oily skin! This is a very good skin care toner for anyone who always have oily and large pores.

Want a hydrating toner instead for your dry skin? Moisturizing and calming, Shills Rose Essential Hydrating Toner is perfect for anyone who stays in the air con room for long hours! What you can do is to use this toner as a spray on in the office too by rebottling the toner in a small spray bottle. So when you feel your skin is dry in your office, you can just give your face a little spritz of the hydrating toner to give a hydration boost to your skin in an instant without messing up your makeup. Smells very nice too!

Having beautiful skin is what everyone wants. In order to have keep your skin healthy, glowing and radiant, you need to take good care of your skin every single day. However, I realized that not every one knows about the importance of daily skincare… like what Kevin lao shi often says in the Nu Ren Wo Zui Da program, "There are only lazy women and not ugly women!"

The following are the basic steps required to keep your skin clear and beautiful :

Cleansing


This is the single most important step in your daily skincare regime! All traces of makeup should be removed before you go to sleep at night.

There are so many products for cleaning your skin, some with additional properties like whitening, moisturizing, anti-aging etc They are also sometimes formulated for different skin type. 

Many cleansers do the job of removing normal makeup effortlessly.

You might also want to use special makeup remover or oil on eye makeup, as foundations and blushers usually come off easily with most regular cleansers.

Clean your facial skin every evening before bed, and again in the morning.  If you’ve cleaned your face properly in the evening, in the morning, your skin will just require a light washing to remove sebum and sweat and prepare your face for your makeup before you head out for school or work.

If using a water-based cleanser, you have to wet your face with lukewarm water. However, if you are using an oil-based cleanser, you can apply directly to your dry skin. 

Then you use your fingers or soft cloth to gently apply the cleanser in small circles gently all over your face in an upward motion. You should also remember to use the cleanser on your neck. You should be using soft swipes upward towards the jaw line.

Finally rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. 

Tip 1 : If you are planning to take a shower or bath, you can also apply your cleanser before getting into the shower/tub to give it a few minutes to work deeper on your skin!

Tip 2 : Remember you have to be careful not to pull or stretch the skin when cleansing. So be gentle on your skin.
