Other than feeding the skin, there are some basic steps you will find necessary to maintain a healthy and
vibrant skin that when combined with proper feeding and exercise makes the skin healthier, more
vibrant and lively. These are cleansing, sloughing, refining, moisturizing, purifying and protection.
Cleansing
This is a very important facial procedure that removes bacteria, excess dirt and oils. Although there are
many over the counter cleansing agents, not all are appropriate for all skin types; one has to be very
careful when choosing the skin cleanser to use. The bottom line of skin cleansing is the removal of dead
skin cells that form a layer on the skin. It is advisable to cleanse the face at least thrice every week using
refined cleansing methods.
Sloughing
This is the removal of the accumulated dead skin cells on the face. The dead skin cells often cause
discoloration and damaging of the living cells but can be easily sloughed away using fruit ingredients.
The citric acid in the fruits will exfoliate the skin to expose the healthy alive skins for a better look.
Refining
Refining is done using toners. This is the removal of excessive oil in the skin to brighten the skin and
make it rosy. Sometimes refining works well in combination with moisturizing but this largely depends
on whether your skin type is dry or oily.
Moisturizing
Moisturizing is dampening the skin. The most common moisturizing mistake that people make is to use
excessive moisturizer. If you have an oily face, it may not be necessary to use excessive moisturizer
because the skin will moisturize itself anyway.
Purifying
Clay is one of the best cleansers because it leaches itself on impurities on the skin and those under the
skin surface and dries the oils that may be present on the skin as well. This will leave the skin healthier
and better looking.
Protection
Skin protection is important, the facial skin is particularly very vulnerable to most hazards and dangers
of the environment since it is always exposed. The sun’s rays are particularly very dangerous on the skin
and you have to put measures in place to protect yourself from its harmful effects. Wear protective
sunshield even when there is no direct sunlight to prolong the life of your skin.
