Requirements For A Beautiful Complexion

Achieving a beautiful complexion starts with a disciplined skin care routine

. A good skin care program consists of three basic steps; facial cleansing, toning and hydration. Additionally a facial scrub to slough off dead skin cells and promote circulation and a facial mask should also be included in your skin care program.

Requirement 1 - facial cleansing is such a vital step in the promotion of healthy skin. This does not mean however stripping your skin of it natural oils. Oily skin types should consider a mild foaming cleanser while the combination and dry skin type should consider milk or lotion type cleanser.

Requirement 2 - toning is a matter of choice and some say it is not needed. However I am a firm believer of toner as it removes the last bits of cleanser and any dirt and debris left over. Additionally depending on the toner it can restore pH balance and/or offer up antioxidants, promote circulation and make your skin more receptive to your moisturizer. For instance lavender promotes new cell growth and balances sebum and chamomile is good for dry and sensitive skin.

Requirement 3 - No matter what your skin type, skin needs hydration. For extremely dry skin consider a night cream rich in emollients to soothe the skin. The oily skin type while it does not need more oil, the skin still needs to be hydrated. Most oily skin types use to harsh a cleanser which dries out the skin and thus the skin reacts by producing more oil to compensate. Additionally oily skin types are usually more prone to acne or breakouts thus a gentle cleansing and oil balancing toner can help balance the sebum. Toners made with geranium are good for oily skin types as it balances sebum and soothes congested skin.

Optional

Facial masks are a great way to deeply hydrate or to draw out toxins. They can be made from fuller's earth, green clay or other clays suited for your skin type.

Facial scrubs - facial scrubs are necessary to slough off dead skin and promote circulation thus giving you complexion a nice glow. Inexpensive and eco-friendly scrubs can be made by adding a little cornmeal, sugar or oatmeal with your cleanser.

No matter what your skin type (normal, oily or combination) following the three basic steps above tailored to your skin type will get you on your way to a beautiful complexion.
