5 easy routine steps to healthy skin

After a long, hard day at work, coming home and taking care of your skin should be easy! We always strive to perfect everything we do. Why not find efficient ways to keep your skin healthy and radiant as well? Here are some simple tips on how to kick the labor out of taking care of your skin.

Wash your face every night
Throughout the day, the skin on your face is affected by the environment, makeup and other factors. Washing your face every night is a simple routine to clean away the day. Find a facial cleanser that works for you, and use it with warm water every night before bed.

Remove all of your makeup
Ladies, makeup is one of the main factors that can clog up your pores. It is important that you wash off all of your foundation, and other products, at the end of every day. Remember to use a makeup remover before your cleanser. This will help you start with a clean, and fresh, slate in the morning.

Exfoliate 2 – 3 times a week
One of the most easily forgotten steps in the skin care regime is exfoliation. Naturally, your face will form dead skin cells throughout the week. Although your skin has a natural way of shedding dead skin cells, called desquamation, exfoliating accelerates the process leaving your skin radiant and glowing. Exfoliate 2-3 times a week and remember to scrub gently.

Use facial toners when your skin is extra oily
Facial cleansers do a pretty good job of cleaning your skin, but what if your skin is extra oily? Toners are a great way to deep clean your pores in ways that cleansers can’t. If you need extra help cleaning your pores, let a facial toner do the work for you.

Moisturize, moisturize and moisturize
Moisturizers are extremely important to use in a skin care routine, whether you have oily, dry or a combination. There are many ways the environment can dry out your skin during the day. Find a moisturizer that works best for you.
