Is your skin type Dry, Normal/Combination, Sensitive or Oily? Whenever I ask this question and a woman answers I don’t know, then she typically has normal/combination skin. Believe me, those who have dry, oily or sensitive skin, know who they are.
Now that you’ve used your under eye moisturizer, you may still be anxious about that under eye darkness. The right concealor will cover them as well as other small discolorations. To see and feel the different consistencies, go to your favorite beauty counter and ask to see what’s available; first find the right color, then concentrate on the thickness.
Women who use skin care items often say they don’t feel or see any difference when they use a toner, but there really is one. Using the proper toner will guarantee a positive change because anytime you use anything on your face, that item changes the pH of your skin. Toners are often confused with witch hazel and astringents but witch hazel contains oil, and astringents usually contain alcohol.
Although both exfoliators and masks are usually made of natural ingredients, masks are generally smooth in texture. They are also made of several different things, such as plant, milk, fruit or citrus based products, as well as clay, and the ever popular mud mask. The concentrated consistency of masks gives an immediately noticeable result.
Everyone really needs and should use skin care items, if they want to prevent skin care problems, instead of trying to correct them. I’m an esthetician so I know that the average woman uses a moisturizer, but most don’t understand why they need twice weekly exfoliating. Although twice daily moisturizing is great at working under the skins’ surface to help retain it’s health, exfoliators work on the top side of the skin and give immediate results.
At any age, a woman wants her skin to look as good as possible. Exfoliators and masks help your skin do just that. They are both necessary because they do two different things. Exfoliators scrub and invigorate, while facial masks calm and soothe the skin.
