While the skin care products you use may changewith technology and your age, the basic procedurestays
the same.It’s the classic three-step routine of cleanse, tone andmoisturize. Also healthy skin rejuvenator are very helpful. A good skin-care routine starts with cleansing to remove dirt, dead skin cells and makeup. “Instead of soap and water, use a foaming cleanser for oily skin and a creamy cleanser for dry skin,” advises Ms.
Riser. “Soap is usually more acidic than our skin and it's harder to keep moist skin after using soap. It strips the oils and moisture and it leaves a film on skin just as it does on shower walls.” And, she cautions, cleansers in bar forms are still a soap.
Wash with warm, not hot, water and a soft cloth using an upward motion. “A down motion aids the effects of gravity,” said Ms. Krauss. “Once a day is sufficient if you also shower.” Cleanse before going to bed to remove traces of makeup. “Overwashing can cause skin to dry out,” she explained. It also causes redness, irritation, rashes, pimples, wrinkles and can overstimulate oil-producing
sebaceous glands.
The reverse happens with constantly applying moisturizer to dry skin. Keeping moist skin is essential to stay youthfull looking. The glands “think” there is plenty of oil on the skin and production slows, thus aggravating the condition. “Use something sanitary,” said Ms. Riser. A damp washcloth is fodder for bacteria which is the main cause of breakouts and rashes. Use a clean, dry cloth or a quick-drying one, or a sponge. “Don’t use tissues to remove cleanser. They are made out of wood which is drying to the skin,” she said. Think of your nose when you have a cold.
The next step is to use a toner “It’s the step most people skip,” said Ms. Riser. “A toner balances the skin’s ph. It hydrates dry areas and keeps moist skin.” Alcohol and witch hazel are traditional toners Moisturizing toners put moisture back and smooth skin. Choose a toner that has anti-bacterial action Spray toners are one way to quench feelings of skin dryness during the day. “After doing all this stripping, you’ll want to use a light moisturizer,” said Ms. Krauss. “No matter what your skin type, use a light moisturizer that absorbs quickly.” Avoid products that contain lanolin, petroleum, waxes and mineral oil - they can clog pores. Use oil-free moisturizers on oily or acne prone skin.
Hyaluronic acid, an ingredient in some moisturizers, occurs naturally in skin cells. “It’s one ingredient we have less of as we age,” said Ms. Riser. “It holds many times its own weight in water. In a moisturizer it helps plump up skin and keppsskin moist. It’s used in eye creams.”
