Making Personal Skin Care A Daily Habit

We all know the importance of personal natural skin care. The opinion on how-to (for personal skin care) differs from person to person. Some people believe that going to beauty parlors every other day is personal natural skin care. Others believe that personal natural skin care is just a matter of applying some cream or lotion on your skin, every now and then. Then there are people who think that individual skincare is an event that happens once a month or once a year. Still others busy themselves with 'personal skin care' all the time. However, individual natural skin care is not that complicated and neither is it that expensive (considering how beneficial it is). Individual skincare is following a routine or a procedure for attending to the needs of your skin.

Even before you start with a routine, you need to determine your skin-type (oily, dry, sensitive, normal etc) and select the individual skincare products suitable for it (you might have to experiment with a few individual skin care products). Here is a routine that should work for most people with normal skin.

The first thing on individual skin care routine is 'Cleansing'. The three main ingredients of a cleanser are oil, water and surfactants (wetting agents). Oil and surfactants extract dirt and oil from your skin and water then flushes it out, thus making your skin clean. You might have to try a couple of cleansers before you find the one that suits you the best. However, you should always use soap-free cleansers. Also, you should use Luke warm water for cleansing (hot and cold water, both, cause damage to your skin). Take care that you don't over-cleanse your skin and end up damaging your skin in the process.

The second thing on the personal skin care routine is exfoliation. Skin follows a natural maintenance process wherein it removes the dead cells and replaces them with new skin cells. Exfoliation is just a way to facilitate the skin in this process. Dead skin cells are not capable of responding to individual skincare products but still consume these products, hence preventing them from reaching the new skin cells. Thus removing dead skin cells is important in order to increase the effectiveness of all personal natural skin care products. Generally, exfoliation takes it place just after cleansing. As with any individual skin care procedure, it's important that you understand how much exfoliation you need. Exfoliate 4-5 times per week for oily/normal skin and 1-2 times per week for dry/sensitive skin. Exfoliate a couple of times more in hot and humid weather.

Next thing on personal skin care routine is moisturizers. This is one of the most important things in individual skin care. Even people with oily skin need moisturizers. Moisturizers not only seal the moisture in your skin cells, but also attract moisture (from air) whenever needed. Use of too much moisturizer can however clog skin pores and end up harming your skin. The amount of moisturizer needed by your skin will become apparent to you within one week of you using the moisturizer. Also, applying the moisturizer is best when your skin is still damp.

The last thing on personal skincare routine is sunscreen. A lot of moisturizers (day-time creams/moisturizers) come with UV protection - so you can get double benefits from them. Such moisturizers are recommended for all days (irrespective of whether it is sunny or cloudy).

Again, experiment with various personal skin care products and also with the amount you need to apply. What gives you best results is the best personal natural skin care recipe for you. However, if you have some kind of skin dilemma, it is best to consult your dermatologist before you actually start using any personal natural skin care products.
