Skincare

Hello friends,

This week we are focusing on skincare. The weather is embracing harmattan, which makes the skin dry and tight. To tackle the problem, we have to identify our different skin types

· Normal skins: the normal skin feels soft and supple to touch, is pimple-free and does not have any flaky or oily areas.

· Dry skin: the dry skin feels taunt and can appear flaky, with small pores and a dull tone.

· Oily Skin; has a shine and is easily prone to breakouts.

· Combination or sensitive skin: feels dry and flaky on the cheeks but greasy on the t-zone or the forehead, nose and chin. The sensitive skin is fragile, prone to itching, chafing and stinging.

Step 1
Start a skincare regiment. It isn’t enough to wash your face with body soap in the shower .Choose a facial cleanser according to your skin type. Over cleansing in this season can dry out the face worse than sun or wind. Avoid any cleanser with alcohol.

Step 2
Exfoliate your skin weekly to get the top layer dead skin off your face. For all skin types choose a gentle scrub with tiny grains. Those with oily or combination skin, an addition of an astringent to your regimen will be totally helpful.

Step 3
A lot of moisturizing is ideal for the season for all skin types. Sensitive skin should ensure the content of their moisturizer contains hypo-allergic to prevent irritation. After cleansing, do not dry skins completely, leave the face slightly damp to get best results. Apply a facial moisturizer at least twice a day; morning and night.

With these steps, we can feel and look good even in Harmattan.I am already enjoying the benefits please join me…
