Cleansing ,Toning , Moisturizing And Protecting Your Skin

The truth is that most of us don't have beautiful skin , we don't even have so called ''normal'' skin. Instead  we have dry bits ,oily bits or irritated bits. The C.T.M.P skin care routine should help you create beautiful , perfect ''normal'' skin.

Before we go ahead this routine is just the basic routine for every skin type, in my future blog posts I will go in depth about this routine for each skin type specifically .

C is for cleansing

You need to properly cleanse your skin at least once a day preferably before you go to bed. Some of the cleansers you could use are given below

Glycerin soaps and cleansing bars

Normal soap is too harsh for your faces delicate skin but soaps that have moisturizing ingredients can be a compromise.

Foam cleansers

These are great when you need to remove thick sunscreen or even makeup. It's basically great for deep cleansing.

Cream cleansers

Milky cleansers tend to moisturize while they cleanse.

Cleansing wipes

Cleansing wipes are great for  women that are in a hurry or just tired at the end of the day. One good wipe and your done! Pick wipes that are specific to your skin type.

T is for toner

The use of toner's are very controversial in the beauty world. Some say their not at all useful some say they are needed to close your pores after you use your cleanser or to remove any dirt left over after you cleanse .If you do use a toner it's best to use one that's alcohol free. I personally use rose water as a toner because it makes my skin soft and makes me feel like I'm making sure my skin is squeaky clean before I go to bed.

M is for Moisturizer

No matter what skin you have you need a moisturizer. The types of moisturizer's are

Gel or lotion based moisturizer

These type of moisturizers are great for wearing during the day because they tend to be very light, have less oil and are easily absorbed.

Heavy Moisturizer

These are oil based and thick , great for winter time or for very dry skin.

P is for protection

If you want good skin, protect it! Sunscreen screens out harmful and aging ultraviolet rays. For day to day wear, SPF 15 is enough , but if you're going to be out all day or on holiday , wear SPF 30 or above.

So cleanse, tone, moisturize and protect your skin DAILY for the best skin you can have.

In my future posts you will learn how to apply this routine for each particular skin type.
