Importance of taking care of your skin!

Skin care is one of the most important factors of aging and increased skin problems in women. Being that most women cover their faces with an excess amount of make up everyday, the importance of washing your face becomes even more important. Most women beleive that you only need to wash you face or use skincare products when you use make up. This is not the case, as your face collects dirts and chemicals from your daily air everyday.

How do you wash you face correctly and/or know what products to use? Well, there are so many products on the market. You simply have to decide what matters to you. Do you want the products to be organic, no animal testing, or for oily skin, dry skin, to smell good and so forth. Just like you chose what is good for your body to consume, you chose the prduct you use on your skin. Now, how to use this product correctly... most people treat washing their face like washing their bodies, but the skin and pores on your face are different and much more complex. You need to rinse your face first, with a nice warm water, to open your pores. That will allow you to get the dirt out of the pores while washing. Put about a dime size of the product in your hand and GENTLY scrub your face and around your hairline. Once you feel like you have washed your face thoroughly, you will need to rinse your face with a nice cool water to close those pores up and product your face from the harmful air and dirt. When drying, pat your face dry, not rubbing. Rubbing is very harsh pressure for skin on your face. If this is done consistently every night and every morning, you will find yourself with less aging problems and a beautiful clear face... its like finding the Fountain of Youth!
