Skin Care Beauty Secrets

Your skin is the largest organ of your body and it has the ability to repair and regenerate itself. The skin is made up of seven layers and when we are young we shed the top layer regularly. Shedding the top layer reveals the new skin underneath.

Shedding the top layer of skin triggers the body’s natural production of collagen, the magic ingredient that plumps skin and produces a youthful, dewy glow. As we grow older the skin does not shed its layers so readily and the body produces less collagen.

Older looking skin that has lost its glow is clogged with dead skin particles that block the pores, not only does this slow down the renewal and regeneration of fresh new layers it also makes it impossible for the skin to absorb moisture. No amount of moisturizing is going to change this.

Exfoliation is an effective way of scrubbing away dead skin cells and it is the secret for younger, fresher looking skin. In the process of making new skin cells the body is signalled to produce more collagen. This is vital because loss of collagen is the single main reason why skin ages and becomes wrinkled.

Exfoliating also opens up the skin pores that have become blocked and this will give you smaller skin pores, which in turn will give the appearance of a more refined and even skin tone. Exfoliation increases the blood circulation to your face, something that is absolutely essential in helping to prevent skin aging. 

When you remove the surface debris and open up the skin pores by exfoliating, your skin will be able to absorb more nutrients and moisture. Your skin will then appear clearer and softer, fine lines will actually fade.

To help keep your skin looking and feeling radiant, youthful and healthy you need to have a good daily skin care routine. This shouldn’t take more than ten minutes and won’t break the bank.

Firstly you need to identify your skin type and then choose appropriate products. Use the list below to help you.

• Normal – Your skin feels velvety to touch, has small pores and no acne.

• Oily – Your skin has enlarged pores with shiny patches. Breakouts may occur frequently.

• Dry – Your skin has dry and itchy patches and has very small or invisible pores.

• Combination – Your skin is oily across the forehead, nose and chin, and dry across your cheeks.

• Sensitive – Your skin has irritated and itchy patches and can be either oily or dry. It can also be reddened or blotchy and have frequent breakouts.

  Once you have discovered your skin type, choose products that have been formulated for your skin.
  
  The four steps to a daily skin care routine are: - cleansing, toning, moisturizing and protecting.

  Cleansing

  Any type of mild beauty soap is fine for removing dirt and grease, but if you wear foundation make-up then you will need to use a facial cleansing agent.
  
  These come in creams, lotions, water-based emulsions or gel form...
