SPECIAL CARE FOR NORMAL SKIN
Your main concern is to maintain normal skin, to keep it functioning well, and as a result of this let it continue the good job it’s already doing! It naturally has a good balance of oil and moisture levels. Your routine should include gently cleansing your skin to ensure surface grime and stale make-up are removed and to prevent a build-up of sebum. Then you should boost moisture levels with moisturizer, to protect and pamper your skin.
Step 1: Always remove eye-makeup carefully. Going to bed with your mascara still on can lead to sore, puffy eyes. Applying new make-up on top of old, stale makeup is unhygienic, too! Choose your cleanser according to whether you are wearing ordinary or waterproof mascara.
Step 2: Splash your face with water, then massage in a gentle facial wash and work it up to a lather for about 30 seconds. It is a good idea to massage your skin lightly because this will boost the supply of blood to the surface of your skin- which means a rosier complexion.
Step 3: Rinse with clear water until every soapy trace has been removed from your face. Then pat your face with a soft towel to absorb residual water from the surface of the skin. Don’t rub at your skin, especially around the eyes, as this can encourage wrinkling.
Step 4: Cool your skin with a freshening toner. Again, avoid the delicate eye area as this can become more prone to dryness.
Step 5: Smooth your skin with moisturizing lotion. Dot on to your face, then massage in with your fingertips using light upward strokes. This leaves a protective film on the skin, so makeup can be easily applied and the moisture content is balanced.
