Types of Skin Care Packs and Tips

Cleansing:

The first step in skincare is cleansing the face 2-3 times daily to acquire normal skin texture. For oily skins cleansing must be done 4-5 times daily and for dry skins cleanser with oily nature must be used instead of soaps to reduce the dry effect. Cleansers will be like gels, milk, lotion, liquids and creams.

These cleansers will be a mixture of water, wax and oil which is suited to different types of skin. Creams and cleansers must be applied in outward and upward movements on the faces and it must not be pulled, dragged or stretched. The cleanser must be kept for one minute or so to remove the make up or dirt. Tissue paper or cotton wool is used to remove the cleanser again using the outward and upward movement. Rinse the face with fresh water.

Masking:

Depending on the type of skin different ingredients are used for masking process. Clay is mostly used to mask as it removes dead skins, sebum and dirt which makes the skin look youthful, soft and clean. Fullers earth containing aluminium silicate is a type of clay used in many face packs. This clay absorbs the dead cells and blocks excessive oil secretion in the skin. Kaolin is a clay type used to remove dead cells, oils and grime.

Exfoliating agent is the other ingredient used in masking as it removes the dead cells and leaves behind youthful fresh skin. Curd, Brewer's yeast, cucumber and lemon juice are natural ingredients used for masking the face.

Toning:

Toners containing water and alcohol are among the cosmetic products used for skin care. Toners are applied after cleansing to tone the skin and to restore alkali/acid balance in the skin.
Moisturizing:

Moisturizers protect the skin from drying and replace it with the water lost from the skin. Moisturizers are good for dry skins and oily skin faces can use oil free moisturizer. Water-in-oil emulsion and oil-in-water emulsion are the types of moisturizers used. Choose the moisturizer which suits the typical skin nature.

Protecting:

Appearance and health of the skin are damaged by the harmful ultraviolet rays emitted from the sun. These rays damages the skin and cause wrinkles, sagging and tightening of the skin. Skin cancers are caused by the UV radiation from the sun. Foundations and sunscreen lotions helps in protecting the skin form damaging. The sunscreen forms a layer on the face which reduces direct contact of UV rays, dirt and maintains a typical moisturizing level on the skin.

Sunscreens are available as creams and lotions and can protect the skin from damaging by blocking the harmful rays from the sun. Apply the sunscreen lotion 10 minutes before leaving out. Various lotions and creams which suit dry skin, normal skin and oily skin are available in the market.
