The sun has always been a prime offender against the skin, but in recent years its harmful effects have increased as the protective ozone layer has weakened. Solar radiation is a factor in cataracts, cell degeneration, and the breakdown of collagen and elastin, which leads to premature aging and wrinkles. It is the leading cause of skin cancer, and also increases free radical generation in the skin because it decreases production of antioxidant enzymes. When ingested and absorbed into the body they will cause hyper pigmentation if the skin is exposed to too much sun. Of course, summer heat aggravates, leading to increased skin sensitivity and sebaceous secretions. |
In general, sensitive skin types tend to turn red rather than tan in the sun, and also develop freckles. Dry and oily skin types both tan easily. Nevertheless, nothing ages the skin more quickly than a sunburn, so individuals of every skin type should take precautions to protect themselves from the sun. |

Dry skin can be very uncomfortable. Sometimes your skin feels as if it is two sizes too small for your face, and it can become itchy and irritated. The good news is that dry skin is simple to control. Let your dry skin drink up this moisture-rich facial. |
Did you ever apply your moisturizer, but your skin still looked dry? It is possible that your moisturizer is not rich enough. Sometimes it is not enough to use just a moisturizer. If your skin is extremely dry you may need a special product to seal in the moisturizer as well as to replenish your skin's depleted supply of natural oil. There are several excellent products that will protect your skin in this way. They are pure and natural plant and nut oils. Dry oils are a special classification of exceptionally lightweight oils that seem to disappear on the skin. A few of the most popular dry oils are jojoba oil, sweet almond, and macadamia nut oil. All you need are a couple of precious drops of lightweight oils to help you replenish and protect your skin. |
Emollient-Rich Cleansing |
Pull your hair back in the headband. Apply the rich, water-based cleanser to premoistened skin. Remove cleanser with tepid water. |
Remove Dead Skin Cells |
| Mix a few drops of dry oil (jojoba, or almond, or macadamia nut oil) into a portion of your favorite facial scrub. Then apply the mixture to premoistened skin. Gently massage, beginning at your decollete and working your way up to the forehead. (Don't forget to exfoliate your lips.) Rinse completely with tepid water. |
Mask Treatment |
Apply a nondrying mask over the face, throat and neck. (This mask stays soft on the skin.) Avoid your eye area. Once the mask is completely applied, place a small portion of mask on your fingertips and massage over previous mask application. This extra application of mask will ensure complete coverage and adherence to your skin to maximize its results. Leave the mask on for 10 to 15 minutes. |
After the application of the mask is complete, apply a warm towel compress over your entire face. Moisten a hand towel with warm water and wring out excess moisture. Lie down and wrap the towel around your face, leaving a space for your nose. Leave the compress on while the mask is setting, approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the compress and rinse the mask off your skin by splashing your face with cool water. |
Alcohol-Free Toner |
Take a piece of cotton and saturate it with a bit of alcohol-free toner and gently sweep your entire face. |
Emollient-Rich Moisture Lotion or Cream |
Cream Apply a dab of water-based moisture lotion or cream to your decollete, throat, chin, cheeks, lips, and forehead. Gently massage into your skin. To seal in moisture and create a protective barrier, apply a few drops of natural plant oil (such as almond oil, or jojoba oil) over your moisturized skin. |
Winter is beauty's enemy. Overexposure to dry, cold wind also damages the skin. In addition to their dehydrating effects, cold and wind put pressure on the epidermis, the horny protective top layer of skin, which is composed of dead cells. When the cold and pressure are extreme, the dead cells desquamate-they burst-leaving the living, young cells of the dermis layer exposed prematurely to the elements. As a result, the unprotected cells become inflamed, causing a tingling sensation on the skin, a problem that is particularly common among the elderly in cold season. |
Dry skin suffers more than oily skin, but every type of skin benefits from these defensive measures: |
|
|
Oily skin needs to become balanced. Gentle yet effective treatment products will delicately control the excess oil without stripping the skin of precious moisture. Reduce excess shine, smooth texture, and temporarily reduce enlarged pores with this balancing and purifying beauty ritual for oily skin. Your skin will feel refreshed and smoother after this treatment. |
Oil-Free Cleansing |
Pull your hair back with the stretch headband. Premoisten your face with water. Cleanse skin with an oil-free gel or lotion. Once you have applied the cleanser let it set on your face for 30 seconds. This extra time gives the cleanser a better chance to break down the makeup and excess oils. Remove cleanser with tepid water. |
Removing Dead Skin Cells |
| Premoisten your skin, then apply a dab of facial scrub to the base of your throat, each cheek, and forehead. Massage in a gentle, circular motion; start at the base of the neck and work your way up to the forehead. Avoid your eye area. Then remove scrub with water. |
Mask Treatment |
While your skin is still moist, apply a clay (drying) mask to your entire throat and face, avoiding the eye area. (This will harden on the face.) Once the mask is completely applied, take a small portion of mask on your fingertips and massage over the previous mask application. This extra application of mask will ensure complete coverage to your skin to maximize its results. Leave mask on for 10 to 15 minutes (make sure the mask is completely stiff before removal). |
Tone |
Take a piece of cotton and saturate it with a bit of alcohol-free toner and gently sweep your entire face. Alternative method: Splash your face with tepid water or rose water. |
Oil-Free Moisturizing |
When you have oily skin there is a special way to apply your moisturizer. This application technique will help you prevent the overuse of your moisturizer. |
Washing can improve your skin's condition but it can also make it worse. Water—hot versus warm, cold versus cool—is a prime bone of contention. Rinsing with a washcloth or splashing with water a certain number of times is another point of debate. "Wash with hot, rinse with cold" proponents contend this method cleanses more efficiently, opens and closes pores, and stimulates circulation. Other dermatologists declare that hot rinsing arouses the lipids (oil glands) into reestablishing the skin's pH balance. The "warm/cool" and the "keep it tepid" brigade believe that skin should never be shocked with either hot or cold and that pores neither open not close. Among these extremes are some facts: skin around the pores does contract and expand to have the effect of opening and closing pores; warm-to-hot water is comfortable for washing; and a splash of cold water is refreshing as a final rinse. Here's the basic process for properly washing your face: |
|
Skin is more than just a covering; it is a barometer that registers the state of our health and reveals the story of our lives. The decline and fall of our epidermis does not become apparent until we pass the 30-year milestone, but it actually begins at birth. Our "perfect" baby skin alters with puberty; undergoes more variations from hormonal fluctuations during menstrual cycles, pregnancy, and menopause; then gradually becomes thinner, drier, and less supple as cell functions slow with age. Chronologically, we all grow old at the same rate. Visibly, we age at an individual pace—and it's never too early or late to start improving your skin. Acne attacks more boys than girls during the teenage years, but besets more women than men because oral contraceptives, menstruation, and menopause cause hormone levels to surge and wane. |
Pregnancy profoundly affects the skin. For the first five months, increased estrogen production suppresses the natural skin-lubricating oils to make skin drier than normal. Use a mild, non detergent cleanser, a nourishing moisturizer during the day, and apply a rich night cream before retiring. During the latter half of pregnancy, an upswing of progesterone hormones may make skin oilier and more subject to blemishes. Cleanse your skin thoroughly, use an astringent toner, cut back on your moisturizing routine, and guard against the brown splotches of a pregnancy mask by applying a potent sunscreen before venturing forth in daylight. |
While waiting for the fountain of perpetual youth to be discovered, you can prolong a youthful appearance if you: |

|
If you treat your skin with tenderness, it will respond with finely textured dewy freshness. If you neglect your skin, overexpose it to the sun, abuse it with harsh soaps and abrasive cleansers, irritate it with stinging astringents, or suffocate it with leftover makeup and heavy creams, it will retaliate by flaking away, erupting in bumps, developing splotches, bursting its capillaries, and wrinkling prematurely. Caring for your skin gently and consistently is the key to extending its youthful appearance. |
Skin's response to a program of systematic care is almost instantaneous, and, as young cells migrate up through the dermis to replace dead cells sloughed off the surface in a constant process of self-renewal, we have a "new" face every 28 days. "Regimen" sounds intimidating. A daily routine of skin care requires no more than ten minutes and requires only three simple steps—cleanse, tone, and moisturize—each evening and morning. |
| Night care |

| Day care |

What you eat, or don't eat, is revealed by your skin: nutrients absorbed into the bloodstream nourish it through loops of capillaries close to the surface. Radiantly healthy skin is one of the dividends of eating a nutritionally balanced diet, taking supplements when needed, and drinking six to eight glasses of water each day Fruit and vegetable juices or herbal teas may be substituted for some of the water. Alcoholic drinks and caffeine-containing beverages, (regular coffee, tea, some herbal teas, many soft drinks) act as mild diuretics to dehydrate your system, so they shouldn't be counted on for filling the quota. |
| Protein |
Skin is predominantly protein, requires a daily supply from the foods you eat because protein molecules are not absorbed through the epidermis into underlying tissues, and registers a deficiency by becoming slack and loose. Collagen-containing protein foods (avocados, brewer's yeast, dried legumes, nuts, sesame and sunflower seeds, whole grain cereals) help prevent and smooth out wrinkles. Other protein foods (fish, meats, poultry, eggs, dairy products, vegetable proteins) help your body equalize the balance between new and dying cells. |
| Fats and Oils |
The unsaturated fats in vegetable oils assist assimilation of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, and E; contribute to your own natural oils to give your skin a sheen, plump out fine lines, and create the fresh-faced look of youth. One or two tablespoons a day can be used as salad dressing or whizzed in the blender with milk, fruit, or vegetable drinks. |
| Fruits, Vegetables, and Fiber |
In addition to varying amounts of protein and the complex carbohydrates needed for energy, fruits and vegetables provide the fiber to keep you vibrantly beautiful and healthy by flushing toxins out of your body and avoiding constipation. Fresh, raw foods also contain enzymes that act as the body's housekeepers to keep the bloodstream clear, and, cooked or uncooked, fruits and vegetables offer an appetizing supply of vitamins and minerals necessary for skin health. |
| Vitamins and Minerals |
Overindulging in anything, particularly fat-soluble vitamins A, D, and E, can be dangerous. Some of the following supplements may be in order, however, because individual requirements may be higher than the official RDA (recommended dietary allowance), and because eating sufficient quantities of their natural food sources is either impractical (6 oranges equal 500 milligrams of vitamin C) or would lead to unwanted weight gain. |
| Vitamin A is used to preserve a smooth skin texture, prevent dryness, and avoid blemishes or hasten their healing. |
| B vitamins are vital for clear, luminous skin. Only about 1 percent of the water-soluble, must-be-replenished-daily B complex ingested is routed to the skin, and, because they function interactively, a deficiency of any of the B's can cause skin problems. Insufficiencies may make themselves apparent by inflamed fissures at the angles of the nose and mouth, scaly lips, premature wrinkles, or by other skin disturbances. |
| Vitamin C, in conjunction with protein, is necessary for the production of collagen—the glue that holds us and our skin together and circumvents sags or wrinkles. Combined with bioflavonoid, vitamin C helps prevent the pigment clumping that the sun turns into "age spots," and strengthens capillaries to avoid easy bruising. Vitamin C also helps the oil-secreting glands function properly to keep the skin from drying out. |
| Vitamin E, necessary for healthy, moist skin, is an antioxidant present in vegetable oils; yet additional amounts of E required to prevent the E in the oils from oxidation within body. Biochemical research has demonstrated that large doses of vitamin E double healthy cell reproduction to slow the aging process and forestall premature wrinkling. |
| Minerals all contribute to our beauty and well-being. Two of the most essential for skin care are |
| Copper |
| It is important for the production of skin pigment and for the prevention of blotches under the skin from ruptured blood vessels. It also cooperates with other nutrients to preserve the integrity of the elastic-like fibers supporting the skin. |
| Zinc |
| Aids in the formation of collagen, helps prevent dry skin and stretch marks, and promotes blemish healing. Without enough zinc a deficiency of Vitamin A can occur even though the intake of that vitamin appears adequate. |
What you ingest affects facial muscles and supportive tissues as well as the epidermal surface. To compensate for the body's gradually slowing cell production and less efficient metabolism of foods, it is important to provide it with ample protein (meats, eggs, dairy products, legume-grain-milk combinations), and with a generous supply of vitamins. |
Here are tips to enhance natural skin care as you grow older: |
|
Begin by washing the oilier areas of forehead, nose, and chin first for one minute and then concluding dryer area for a total cleansing time of one and a half minutes. This allows more time to be removing the oil and debris that has accumulated on the forehead, nose, and, chin. As with oily skin, cleanse gently. Avoid washing more than twice a day. |
Consider using a light creamy cleanser, a nonsoap cleanser, or a glycerin soap, which attracts some moisture to the skin, twice a day during cooler seasons. |
Use a more moisturizing cleanser during the months surrounding winter because the cheek area and even the chin can become moderately dry at this time while the fore forehead and nose may remain slightly oily. Switch to a less emolliating cleanser products in spring and summer. |
Also, since oil on the forehead and nose can come from your hair, make some adjustment in your hair-care regimen as outlined for oily skin. That is, try washing your hair at least once a week and wear it pulled or brushed back from the face. Avoid applying hair oils or pomades on the scalp near the forehead. |
Apply a light moisturizer once or twice a day to the dry areas of the oily skin. You will probably not need to apply moisturiser to the forehead and nose, which are typically oily. Choose a sunscreen gel with SPF 15 or a light oil-free lotion containing sunscreen. |
Do’s and Don’ts for Combination Skin |
| Do: |
| Choose cleansers for combination skin; they’re formulated to be gentle on dry spots, tougher on the T-zone. |
| Apply products only where you need them-moisturizer only on dry areas, benzoyl peroxide products right on blemishes. |
| Smooth on a sunscreen with SPF 15 or a moisturizer or foundation with built-in sunscreen protection every day. |
| Don't: |
| Use two kinds of cleanser or moisturizer on different parts of your face; seek out products formulated for combination skin. |
| Use balancing lotions; they neither endow dry areas with moisture nor reduce the amount of oil your oil glands produce. |
| Apply moisturizer before working out. |
| Forget to wear sunscreen. |
This skin is delicate and difficult to look after. It is usually easily irritated, and reacts to adverse weather conditions, changes in temperature, sunshine, perfumed products, and harsh ingredients such as detergents. The resulting dryness, blotches and rosy patches require careful management. If in fact you do have sensitive skin, you’ll have to be especially careful about what products you use on your skin and how you treat it. Here’s to avoid or use on sensitive skin only under a doctor’s direction. |
| Clensers containing alcohol, lanolin, fragrance, benzoyl peroxide, salicyclic acid, and glycolic acid |
| Toners or astringents containing alcohol |
| Products containing essential oils (concentrated oil extracts from plants) |
| Witch hazel |
| Moisturiser containing fragrance, lanolin, dye, vitamin E |
| Sunscreen containing fragrance, oil, PABA |
| Makeup containing oil |
| Alphahydroxy acid or retinol products (Retin-A) |
| Acne medications |
| Bleaching creams |
| Detergents and fabric softeners containing fragrance or preservatives |
To protect your sensitive skin, shop for products and makeup with labels that say “alcohol free,” “fragrance free,” “sensitive skin,” or ”non-comedogenic”. |
Wash once or twice a day with a soap free cleanser, or super-fatted, or unscented bar to prevent sensitive skin becoming irritated and blotchy. Soap makes delicate skin more sensitive by removing oils and moisture. Super-fatted cleansers are less drying but can leave behind a residue that blocks pores. Steer clear of toners, and simply rinse off excess cleanser with warm water, or cucumber water. While washing hair in the shower, tilt your head back to avoid getting potentially irritating shampoo or conditioner on your face. Don’t forget to wash your hands frequently throughout the day and try not to touch your face. Your hands will transmit to your face the residue of all types of irritating products. |
Avoid harsh skin care-products like abrasive facial pads or grainy face and body scrubs, which can strip away the protective top layer of skin-your defensive armor against heat, cold, pollution, irritants and other antagonists. |
If you have sensitive skin, the eyes require extra vigilance to avoid nasty reactions. “Your eyelids are so thin and so sensitive to irritants that they often become dry, scaly and itchy.” So avoid using harsh soap and alcohol-based astringents and toners. Cleanse away eye makeup with an oily remover rather than oil free product. Whatever product you use, gently stroke away eye makeup with a cotton swap or pad. Scrubbing with tissue or wash-cloth can irritate your lids. |
Choose a light (water-based), non perfumed moisturisers formulated for sensitive skin. Use sunscreen during the day. Avoid products formulated with chemical sunscreen like PABA (para-aminobenzoic acid) or the cinnamate or oxybenzone families of sunscreens, all of which can irritatate sensitive skin. |
Optional: Exfoliate weekly with a gel mask containing very mild ingredients, such as aloe. |
Dry skin produces low level of sebum (the skin’s natural moisturiser) and is noticeably flaky around the mouth, cheeks and forehead. Using soap, water and toner causes problems for this skin type, because they leave your skin feeling tight and uncomfortable. |
So scrap soap and opt for a soap-free cleansers instead. There are many to try, including superfatted bars (often called beauty bars) with added emollients like olive oil or lanolin, milky liquids or tissue of cleansing creams. If your skin is severely dry, you might try a tissue-off cleanser that can be used without water. |
When dry skin is exposed to cold winds, central heating or air conditioning, it soon becomes taut. The best way to care for this skin type is to use cleansing milks and creams leaving them to dissolve your make-up, then tissue off. Repeat, until the tissue comes away clean.You can easily make some natural cleansers that can be as effective. Try them. |
Oily cleansers, especially the tissue off kind, can make even the driest skin sprout blemishes, however. So make sure your cleanser is labeled noncomedogenic (formulated without ingredients known to cause blemishes). |
This type of skin needs regular feeding with thick, creamy, hydrating moisturizers-morning and night- to keep it in good condition and to avoid the premature aging to which dry skin is prone. Avoid products containing lanolin or any fragrance, which may stress your skin. |
To hydrate mildly dry skin, try a moisturiser with an oil-in-water emulsion (meaning that the product is more water than oil). These light moisturizers penetrate the skin easily and don’t leave sticky, greasy feeling behind. |
Dry skin produces less oil than other skin types, so it’s more vulnerable to sun damage, including age spots, blotches and wrinkles. You can lesson your risk of skin damage by using a sunscreen with a sun protection factor of at least 15. |
Do’s and Don’ts for Dry Skin |
| Do: |
| Cleanse thoroughly at night to remove makeup. In the morning, simply splash your face with lukewarm water. |
| Moisturize while your skin is still damp from cleansing. |
| Choose creamy, oil-rich makeup. |
| Prevent sun damage by using a strong sunscreen daily. |
| Don't: |
| Wash your face with soap. Choose a mild, soap-free liquid cleanse instead. |
| Scrub your face with abrasive pads, washcloths or grainy cleansers. |
| Continue to use a moisturizer that makes you break out. |
| Mistake seborrheic dermatitis for dry skin; see a dermatologist if you're not sure. |
Oiliness, like dryness varies with time, temperature, your endocrine system, and your emotions (stress may be responsible for a sudden outburst of oily-skin problems). Cutting back on fried foods, pastries, and other saturated food fats may reduce the amount of excess oil accumulating on your epidermis. |
Wash your face two or three times a day to reduce excess oil. Avoid washing more than three times a day because this practice may irritate the skin, promoting low-grade inflammation of the skin and the subsequent development of dark patches. Wash early in the morning, immediately after work or school, and again just before bed. The best skin-care routine uses lukewarm water with a facial wash, which is massaged well into the skin and rinsed off. |
Use an antibacterial soap or a gel or foaming cleanser designed for oily skin dur¬ing the late spring and summer to remove excess oiliness, and a milder glycerin-based or oil-balancing soap or cleanser in the winter and early spring months. You can easily make some natural cleansers that can be as effective for oily skin. Try them. Also, since oil on the forehead and temples can come from your hair, make some adjustment in your hair-care regimen. Try washing your hair at least once a week and wear it pulled or brushed back from the face. Avoid applying hair oils or pomades on the scalp near the forehead. They'll seep into the skin and produce more oil and shine. |
After cleansing, use a mild astringent toner. Avoid alcohol-based astringent, which are too harsh and drying even for oily skins. Use a light moisturiser, the best being a fluid or gel rather than a cream. Then moisturize around eye area with a cream or lotion designed for that area. Exfoliate at least twice a week, to encourage skin cell renewal. Dead cells stay for longer on oily skin, attracting grime and pollutions. Oily skin responds to regular, therapeutic deep cleansing. Avoid stressing oily skin and enlarging pore appearance by applying sunscreen/moisturisers containing SPF15. |
Do’s and Don’ts for Oily Skin |
| Do: |
| Cleanse your face two or three times daily with liquid cleanser or foaming cleanser. You may select one containing glycerin, alphahydroxy acids, or betahydroxy acids. |
| Apply an alcohol-free toner if oil persist after washing. |
| Choose an oil free or light oil-in-water moisturiser, if necessary. |
| Use oil-free foundation and powder. |
| Use an SPF 15 to 30 sunscreen gel, or an oil-free moisturizer containing sunscreen. |
| Don't: |
| Overdry your skin- oil is a natural defense against the elements. |
| Cleanse more than three times a day. |
| Use moisturizer if you don’t need it. |
| Overuse powder to mop up oil; your skin will look chalky. |
| ||||||
Minimize sun exposure, especially during the peak sun hours of 10 Am to 4 P.M., when solar radiation is most intense. | ||||||
| Wear appropriate clothing during prolonged periods in the sun-tight textile weave, long sleeves, pants and a full-brim hat. | ||||||
Apply sunscreens even on cloudy days, when 40 to 80 percent of the sun's rays can penetrate the clouds .Beware of reflective surfaces; sand, snow, concrete and water can reflect up to 85 percent of the sun's damaging rays. | ||||||
Outdoor workers have a higher risk of skin cancer. They should always use UV protection and check their skin. If you do get sunburn, the skin will be red, feeling tight and sore. In this case, cool the body with tepid water. Soothe the skin with calamine lotion or plain yogurt. |
Skin lightening remedies are useful for restoring an even tone to blotchy, discolored skin. They can also reduce the appearance of freckles. You can try some natural remedies for fading tans. |
| BOREX: |
Borex is a skin-lightening favorite from the nineteenth century. Mix ¼ cup borax with /12 cup granulated sugar in a glass jar. Cover and let stand for 48 hours. Once each day, stir the mixture and rub a spoonful on your discolored skin. “Glycerinated Lotion of Borax” was used as daily wash to render the skin equisitely soft and white. Mix 1 teaspoon powdered borax with 2 tablespoon glycerin and ¾ cup rose water. |
| LEMON JUICE : |
Lemon juice can be used in a variety of ways. Mix equal amount of glycerin and lemon juice, it can be sponged on to remove a tan. When mixed to a paste with salt or sugar and allowed to remain on the skin for half an hour once each day, lemon juice may lighten brown splotches caused by the sun. |
| MILK: |
Milk, in its many guises, is a time-tested skin lightener. Mix 3 tablespoon milk and 1 teaspoon lime juice, it can be sponged on to remove a tan. Yogurt, plain or blended with an equal amount of buttermilk, can be used as night cream to ameliorate a fading tan. |
| BOTANICALS: |
Botanicals have a well-established reputation for skin lightening. Aloe vera gel. Smooth over sun-darkened freckles or brown spots at least twice a day. Watercress. Place a freshly washed bunch of watercress in 2 cups cold water. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Strain and store in the refrigerator. Each morning and evening, sponge the chilled liquid over your fading tan, allow it to dry, then rinse with water. |
| FRESH APRICOTS, STRAWBERRIES, AND GREEN GRAPES : |
Mash the apricot fruit and pat it on your face. For a more complex, blend with /12 teaspoon lemon juice with the pureed fruit before applying to skin. Rinse a bunch of green grapes, squeeze out the juice. Rub the juice over tanned areas, allow it to dry, then rinse off. |
| TOMATOES: |
Mash ripe tomatoes and apply the pulp to your fading tan. Let dry before removing with water. |
POTATO WATER is an old German cure for fading tans and summer freckles. Simply sponge on the water in which the potatoes have been cooked. |
|
|
Dead skin cells, jaded skin and tanning can effectively be got rid off by using exfoliating scrubs to remove dead cells. However, do not exfoliate everyday. If your skin is oily, it needs to be done maybe once a week. For those with dry skins exfoliating twice a month is sufficient. You can easily make some homemade scrubs that can be as effective. Try them. | ||
| ORANGE AND LEMON PEEL SCRUB : | ||
| ||
| CHICKPEA POWDER SCRUB : | ||
| ||
| OATS : | ||
| ||
| TOMATO WRAP : | ||
|
Are you unhappy with the texture of your skin? Do you have scaly or rough skin even though you drown your face with plenty of moisturizer? Does your makeup look caked and unnatural? Does your oily skin type look coarse even after you have used a clay mask? Well then, moisturizing and masking your skin may not be enough. Rough-textured skin may indicate a deficiency of vitamin A that can be corrected by daily supplements of vitamin D. Here are some tips: |
Today there are many skin-smoothing option available, but you should first know about the two completely different methods for removing dead skin cells:friction and chemical.The friction method of dead skin removal is achieved by aproduct category known as facial scrubs. |
