Coconut Oil Before Cleansing
• Face massage is essential for everybody.
• Just like your hair follicles, your epidermis also requires some amount of hydration through gentle massage
• Take 2 to 3 drops of coconut oil (do not pour the oil – less is more) and gently apply evenly on your skin
• Massage your skin in the upward circular motion
• Don’t harm your skin by rubbing roughly
• Let your skin absorb it for at least 10 to 15 minutes
• If your skin is excessively oily and acne prone, please avoid this step or consult your dermatologist regarding this
Cleanse To Adore Your Natural Beauty
• Make it a habit to wash your face when you feel your skin has become tired of carrying dust and dirt
• Take a gentle cleanser that suits your skin type
• Wash your face with water and pat dry it with a thin cloth
• Avoid using heavy towel
Exfoliate To Escape Dead Cells
• Once you feel the instant freshness after face wash use a gentle skin exfoliator
• But make sure to use it once in a while
• Frequent or over exfoliation can also lead to skin damage
• If you have done the process already, refrain from keep doing it often
• Well, coming back to exfoliation even dried orange peel can work as a best natural source to exfoliate
• Once the black heads and dead cells are out, wash it away with water
Moisturize Well
• Pull out your dermatologist recommended moisturizer
• Bump out as much as your skin requires
• Nicely let it blend with your skin
• Let it sit for sometime
• Once you feel your skin is hydrated, then go for your lips
• It needs hydration too
• Apply a nice lip balm to it as it prevents your lips becoming dry and pigmented from liquid lipsticks or any lipsticks
• A layer of protection is a shield to your skin
Go For Your Sunscreen If You’re Walking Out In The Open
• Squeeze out an optimum level of sunscreen with SPF that suits the climate of your place
• Gently start spreading it over the areas that are exposed to skin
• Let it dry and settle on your skin
Primary Layer Before Foundation
• Choose a primer that suits your skin type
• The general mistake that many of us do is not selecting the primer for our skin type
• Take a good amount of primer and evenly apply on your face and neck region for the make up to set perfectly
• After it blends well with your skin, carry on with the general process of make up
