What is the proper way to care for your skin? What is a facial?

Question

For a woman!

What is included in a daily facial/skin care routine?

Does it go like this?

Wash with scrubbing stuff
Wash with facial soap
Wash with cleanser
Put on lotion
Put on eye cream
Put on sunscreen
Put on makeup

Before we start with the proper daily step-by-step skincare routine, you'll need to know her skin type. How you care for your skin is utterly dependent on the type of skin you have: oily, normal/combination, dry, sensitive or sun- damaged.

The characteristics of skin are:

Normal to Dry:
Normal – Not too oily or dry, few blemishes, skin is firm and is generally smooth with small pores. Dry – Due to sun and age, skin may lack natural oils. May look smooth with fine pores, few blackheads and blemishes.

Normal to Oily:
Normal – Not oily or dry, few blemishes, skin is firm and is generally smooth with small pores. Oily – Shiny and coarse, may have recurring blackheads and enlarged pores, often youthful looking.

Combination:
Oily T-zone (forehead, nose and chin). Normal to dry around cheeks and throat. Can be oily along chin, jaw, temples and dry elsewhere.

Acne/Blemishes:
Generally oily. Blackheads and pimples. Potential scarring and pitting.

Sensitive:
Extremely delicate. Broken capillaries, veins and vessels beneath skin surface. Should not be over stimulated.

Mature:
Fine lines. Loose, “crépe-like” appearance. Loss of elasticity.

After choosing your skin type now we can proceed with the step-by-step for a good skin care regimen. This is my skin care regimen from Arbonne http://arbonnepuertorico.myarbonne.com

Step 1: NutriMinC RE9 REnewing Gelée Créme, Hydrating Wash Should be used in the morning and evening.

Step 2: NutriMinC RE9 REveal Facial Scrub or NutriMinC RE9 RElease Deep Pore Cleansing Masque (this is optional to the set) Used after cleansing up to two times per week.

Step 3: NutriMinC RE9 REstoring Mist Balancing Toner Should be used in the morning and evening.

Step 4: NutriMinC RE9 REversing Gelée Transforming Lift
In the morning or on special occasions, wait at least two or three minutes before applying NutriMinC RE9 Reactivating Facial Serum Day & Night.

Step 5: NutriMinC RE9 REactivating Facial Serum Day/ Night
Should be used in the morning and evening, used after RE9 Toner if not using RE9 Lift

Step 6: NutriMinC RE9 REality Day Crème or NutriMinC RE9 Recover Night Crème Day Crème used in the morning, Night Crème in the evening.

Step 7: NutriMinC RE9 REpair Corrective Eye Crème

Following these steps you will definately give her the best gift ever!!! The amazing results are awesome

you QT pie!!
before bed: you do want a gentle exfoliant (nothing with walnut shell or peach pits, use an oat bar or something like it) then an eye cream and facial moisturizer.
in the morning: just pure cool water, then a light moisturizer. a good one will have spf in it.
doing too much to your face will irritate it.
drink lots of water, don't smoke, keep alcohol moderate.
getting a facial lets a professional do it deeper and involves extractions and a masque. these are good also in moderation, 6x per year tops.

Answer 4

Not the sunscreen part! A facial is when they put a mask that smoothes and cleans your skind! Sometimes they out makeup on you!

Answer 5

i just wash my face everyday and night

a facial is just a special mix that cleans your face. a facial mask dries up and then you peel it off after about 10 or 20 mintues

Answer 6

You silly- you just go to your local auto parts store and buy a quart of motor oil. It works wonders, been using if for years.
