Summer Skin Care

Make sure to tone the skin well

After cleansing, the skin should be toned with a rose or lavender based skin tonic. Rose water can also be used for skin toning. Make cotton wool pads and soak them in rose water. First wipe the face and then pat the face with the cotton wool pad. This helps to improve blood circulation to the skin surface. Moisturizers are available in both liquid and cream forms. For dry skins, it is better to use a creamy moisturizer, applying it after cleansing and toning the skin. It should also be applied under make-up. A liquid moisturizer can be used at night, after cleansing and nourishing the skin. 

For oily skins

a light, liquid moisturizer is better. At night, after cleansing, nourish your skin, if it is normal to dry. A variety of nourishing creams are available. Ingredients like wheat germ, cabbage, carrot, almonds, Vitamins A and E are used in night creams. The cream should be applied with a few drops of water. Then massage the skin with circular strokes, for 2 to 3 minutes. Wipe off the cream with moist cotton wool.

Apply a facemask

Apply facemask two or three times a week. Masks are very useful in improving the texture of the skin, including the skin's ability to hold moisture. They help to remove the dead epithelial cells, thus improving penetration and absorption of products. Cellular build-up can hamper this. In fact, during the winter months, there can be a buildup of dead cells. Sometimes, the skin acquires dark patches, as the dead cells may have excess pigment (the skin's coloring matter). 

By removing the dead cells, the skin becomes much clearer and gets an even color tone. Masks can also provide moisture to the skin if they contain ingredients like honey, aloe vera, seaweed, etc., which are natural moisturizers. You can use Seaweed Mask and Honey-Apricot peel-off mask for rehydrating your skin.
