Rejuvenating Your Skin – Part 2

After determining your skin type it is time to purchase a skin cleanser developed specifically for you. Clean your face with lukewarm water to wash off the excess dirt and unclog pores from the daily environmental toxins you encounter. The next step is to use a skin toner in order to remove the rest of the dirt and grime and prepare your skin for exfoliation.

Exfoliation is the best way to carry out the process of removing dead cells and replacing them effectively with new cells. This process should only be done after cleansing in order to remove the dirt. Follow-up a good exfoliation with a moisturizer specifically designed for your skin type. One that contains Aloe Vera gel and natural anti-oxidant extracts is preferable because it feeds the new skin cells topically after your treatment. Both the exfoliation and a moisturizer should be applied when the skin is wet.

One significant preventative measure that individuals, both men and women, can use in order to prevent skin damage is to protect the skin from harmful ultraviolet rays prior to going outside. Sunscreens are available in the form of creams, gels and lotions and will protect the skin whenever you are in daylight. Use a sunscreen on your face and hands every single day in the morning. Even if you work in an office setting, you may be exposed to UV rays by sitting next to a window, driving back and forth to work, and the UV lighting systems in the office buildings.

It’s important to do a skin treatment on a regular basis and use the cleanser that suits your skin. If your skin is oily or normal you can exfoliate three to four times a week. However, if your skin is dry or sensitive it should be done one to two times per week. Be sure to follow a balanced diet, drink lots of water, drink green tea for the antioxidants, get plenty of sleep and work on stress reduction techniques. Using all of these processes you will see results in the rejuvenation of your skin in just a matter of weeks.
