Cleaning
twice a day with a mild face wash, with pH same as that of the skin,
and water and toned with something mild,
like rose water. Avoid face washes with strong fragrances
and agents like salicylic acid. Face
washes containing very mild amounts of alpha hydroxyl
acids can be used.
At
night, to keep your skin's normal moisture- balance, apply a thin film
of light moisturizer.
Any
time your skin becomes slightly oily or slightly dry in any area
correct these tendencies by following the
advice given regarding these types of skin.
Cleansing
may be followed by a mild freshener to keep pores tight and to remove
traces of cleanser clinging to the skin.
Use an astringent with a low alcohol content.
Avoid
direct heat on the face-including that from blow dryers.
Guard
against the drying, aging effects of the sun by using a sunscreen daily
with a high spf and UVA protection factor
and makeup products that contain a sunscreen.
Once
every two weeks, stimulate the circulation and smooth the surface of
the skin by using a exfoliating scrub and
a nondrying mask. Exfoliate the skin to remove clogging of
pores, and to remove dead cells
which give a dull look to the skin. Don’t exfoliate
everyday since the skin may
become more sensitive.
Monthly
facials and regular dermatological treatments such as light
peels and microdermabrasion
are
very effective exfoliating tools, and are widely used for skin
polishing, skin glow and to prevent sagging
and loose skin
