cleansing, toning and exfoliating

helloooo



cleansing
cleansing is probably one of the most important,
 easiest and least expensive element when it comes to maintaining healthy skin. cleansers remove bacteria, make up, dirt and any oil that builds up on your skin during the day and will also help prepare your skin for any moisturiser or serums that can be easily absorbed. there are loads of different types of cleansers to chose from and some contain more soap than others.
its best to use a gentle cleansing balm that doesn't strip your skin of moisture and leaves it moisturised afterwards.

apply your cleanser all over your face and use circular motions on the areas of congestion.- the chin, nose and forehead- because this drains toxins. if your using a balm or cream cleanser dont allow it to sink into the skin because it needs to remain on the surface to draw out impurities. lots of people use an eye makeup remover, it is always important to be gentle around your eyes and not to tug at the skin, because this area of your face is sensitive and prone to damage.its really important to spend time while cleansing to remove all the residue of makeup.

Finally, i should say never go to bed without taking of your makeup. believe me, i often feel like i cant be bothered, especially when i have had a long day! the thought of having to wet my face right before bed can be such a pain. so here's a tip, as soon as you know you have nothing else to do for the rest of the day, even as early as 6pm., take off your makeup even if you're not going to bed until 10pm. then you're like yes its off! and you don't have to worry about taking it off before bedtime.




toning
toner works by attracting moisture from the air
 and trapping
it in the top layers of the skin. it makes a real difference to
 your skin, keep toner for when your skin feels congested.
aside from toner, its also good to use cleansing water's
 straight after cleanser because they remove any last traces
 of make up and hydrate your skin.










exfoliating
Exfoliators stimulate circulation in the skin and remove

the dead skin cells, dirt and oil that get clogged deep in
your pores. some are harsher than other's and if you
have very oily skin, it can be tempting to vigorously
exfoliate. but this can make the problem worse. all
 skin types can benefit from finger grains, more
 natural ingredients and spherical beads rather than
 jagged grains. exfoliation masks are a great
 alternative- lush do some amazing one's (uk)





hope this helped and was useful to ya.
