Having looked at ways of identifying your skin type and the different skin types, we will now be looking at ways to care for your specific skin type starting with normal skin. You are lucky if you have this type of skin as it has a good oil/water balance hence glowing most of the time. This however does not mean that you neglect it as this balance can fluctuate leaving it more dry or oily at times. Over time, neglect will lead to signs of aging and wrinkles. To retain the glow and make it last, you will therefore need to adopt a daily regimen that will work for you which we have simplified for you here.
Cleanse your skin at least once daily with warm water and a gentle foaming facial wash/cleanser or mild soap. This will remove dirt and excess oil so they don't block the pores. Cool your skin with a gentle refreshing toner. Toning brings back your skin’s pH/acidity level to normal. Finish off with a light weight moisturizer. Your skin produces just the right amount of moisture so the goal is to simply maintain the moisture balance. Massage it in with your finger tips in light upward strokes. Always wear a sunscreen when going outdoors to protect your skin from sun damage. Most foundations and powders nowadays work as both make-up and sunscreen, look out for this while shopping for one. Exfoliate your skin two to three times per week with a gentle scrub to remove dead skin cells and refine the skin’s surface.
