basic of skin care

Guess I am on a roll about skin care. I just love the AVON products and would recommend any of them for all types of skin. If you are not impressed that is ok just take of your skin. It is the only covering for your great body that you will have.

First step for great skin any time of year is cleansing to remove the dirt makeup, and pollution of everyday living. Always use a gentle touch when washing and don't rub to much.

Toning: Only use a toner if your skin is oily and feels sticky. Select one for sensitive skin and use sparingly.

Moisturizing is an optional step. IF you have oily skin you do not have to do this step. Dry skin needs this step to help prevent wrinkles and lines.

Exfoliating (love this word). Since your skin is constantly renewing itself (yes really) you have to somehow get rid of the dead cells. There are two basic ways to accomplish this process--physical or chemical. Physical uses a buffer pad or grainy scrub. Stay away from products containing ground up nut shells or apricot shells, as these have rough edges)who knew)! Chemical exfoliation uses AHA to loosen and remove dead skin. With this process less is better. This will improve skin tone and texture.

The hint that I did not know at all WEAR your Vitamins: WHAT? Number 1 retinol Vitamin A
Vit C another skin powerhouse. Several products contain Vit K for dark circles or bags under eyes.
So come on guys and girls take the extra time to care of your skin. Start young and continue. The benefits will be worth the time.
