BeautyVice Basic Skin Care Tips

It is always a good idea to consistently follow a daily skin care routine. A consistent routine does not have to be complicated or time consuming. A daily skin care routine is the foundation for a more advanced skin care regime.
A basic skin care regimen begins by:
• Skin Washing and cleansing
• Skin Toning
• Skin Moisturizing
• Sun protection
For the average person, performing a skin care routine in the morning and in the evening is optimal. For those with dry skin and/or sensitive skin its advisable to follow your skin cleansing routine once a day followed with a moisturizing regimen two or more times a day. Exfoliation should also be a part of your skin care routine but exfoliating should be done once or twice a week. Protection from the Sun is critical for any skin care routine. A good Sunscreen should be applied on top of your moisturizer or other treatments as a final step of your routine whenever sun exposure is expected. Using products with built in sun protection is effective. However, using a separate, specially formulated sunscreen yields optimal results and protection.
Your daily skin care routine should be tailored to fit your skin type. Keep in mind that your skin type can change due to Diet and the time of the year, Skin tends to be oilier in the summer and drier in the winter. Shifting from a low-fat diet to a diet rich in certain fats may turn dry skin into normal skin. As for Sun protection, your skin pigmentation has a direct effect on the degree to which you will need sun protection. Sun in general damages your skin but those with darker skin are less affected by the Sun than those that have fair skin. Fair skinned people need to be particularly meticulous about sun protection. They need to choose the right type of protection and apply this protection consistently and frequently.
In order to achieve optimal benefits from your daily skin care routine you need to incorporate carefully selected products that contain scientifically proven active ingredients to effectively improve your results. The incorporation of these advanced skin care products into your routine must be done in concert with your daily skin care routine. Doing one and not the other will not yield optimal results. A good example is applying products to skin that has not been cleansed, the penetration of active ingredients is reduced. If you follow your cleansing and moisturizing routines followed by applying advanced products your results will be noticeable. The most effective time to apply advanced skin care products is after you have cleansed and thoroughly rinsed your skin. Keep in mind that skin care products are best absorbed when your skin is left slightly warm and moist.
