Beauty Is Only Skin Deep


                                             
We all love to say that beauty is only skin deep. But even if that were the case, we should still cleanse and care for our face properly. It might seem like it is such a hassle to properly cleanse your face but it really isn't. All it takes is 4 very easy steps. 
  1. Cleanse, no need to break the bank with a fancy cleanser. Keep is simple and find the best cleanser for your skin type. You shouldn't cleanse too often, once a night should do with Luke warm water.Remember to take off all make up properly with the right make up remover.
  2. Exfoliate, scrubs work by removing the top layer of dead skin cells that tend to dull your complex. Exfoliating your skin once a week will keep your skin glowing all year round. Use a gentle scrub with tiny grains. Big grains in cheap scrubs can tear skin and cause more harm than good.
  3. Moisturize, no matter your skin type you should moisturize. The skin can dry out very easily and moisturizers seal moisture into skin. Your skin will tell you how to moisturize it, pay attention to it. Be careful not to over moisturize, this can clog pores.
  4. Apply Sunscreen, the number one cause of wrinkles is sun damage. Applying sunscreen is the most important part of your skin care regime. Do not use a moisturizer with sunscreen as your night cream. The ingredients in it are not meant to be used all day. 
I know some of you are wondering if you should use toner or not. My research has shown me that toner is not completely necessary, a toner is used to remove all remaining oil, make up, and dirt but if you were to use a good enough cleanser this shouldn't be a problem. But if you feel you should use toner, then use it. It is up to you, you might like how the toner makes your skin feel. Starting a skin care regime can be hard but it is a routine every woman should have.
