Beauty Skin Care Tips

Beauty TipsWash the face with a mild, unperfumed soap, lather briefly and rinse thoroughly. If the skin feels dry and tight after washing, try using. a superfatted soap which incorporates emollients such as anolin or mineral oil into the soap base. Other causes of dryness: over-washing, incomplete rinsing, hard-water or sensitivity. Try a cream cleanser instead.

Before starting cleansing of your face, tie the hair well backfrom face. Also remove contact lenses if you use them.

Take as much care removing make-up as putting it on. This is because incompletely removed particles may block pores and contribute to skin problem, while flaking mascara or eye make-up can irritate eyes. 

Skin a make-up remover over face and lips, around the eyes and down the neck as far as you have applied make-up. Leave on for a few minutes, to help the make-up dissolve. Then take a folded tissue or a piece of cotton wool and wipe it over the face and neck in an up\yard and outward direction.

Eyes need special attention since the skin around them is delicate and the eyes are susceptible to irritation even infection, if make-up or make-up remover come too close.

When removing mascara, attend to lower and upper lashes, underneath as well as on top. Place a moistened tissue underneath the lower lashes then smooth a small amount of the cleanser onto a cotton wool bud and roll it over top and lower lashes together.
 
Most face foundations, blushers, powders and make-up bases are water-soluble and can usually be efficiently removed with soap and water. Use gentle sweeping movements and continue with successive pieces of cotton wool until the last comes away clean.
