Skin Care Routine For Oily Skin
***i know the products i use are expensive, but, like i say in the video, my skin is something i am willing to invest in 
if you don’t want to spend that much money on skin care products, choose just 1 splurge item, then use drugstore products for the rest. example: use a drugstore cleanser and eye creme, and a higher end face creme.. you REALLY will notice a difference
LOTS, AND LOTS, AND LOTS, AND LOTS OF LINKS… AND THEN LOTS MORE!

What Do You Use for Your Facial Skin Care Treatment?
How do you choose an effective facial skin care treatment? There are so many products on the market that it is very difficult to make an informed decision. It appears that there are hundreds of products. As we age, these products become more and more important for us.
One of the best ways to achieve youthful skin is to use a facial skin care treatment. However, you must use a product that has been scientifically proven to help reduce lines and wrinkles. This product must contain natural ingredients and use must use it regularly.
Becoming knowledgeable about the ingredients of your facial skin care treatment is essential. Not only should your product contain natural substances but also there are unpleasant ingredients that you should avoid.
I will briefly focus on some of the ingredients that you should avoid in your facial skin care treatment. One of the worst ingredients found in skin care products today is parabens. These preservatives prolong the shelf life of the products. Studies indicate that they may cause cancer.
Another nasty ingredient is mineral oil. It will clog your pores and that could cause acne breakouts. Fragrances should not be added to a facial skin care treatment. They are made from chemicals that can be harmful to your skin as well.
Ok, enough of the bad stuff. Now, let us focus on some of the natural substances that work wonders at reducing the lines and wrinkles on your skin.
One of the most effective natural substances you can get in a facial skin care treatment is called Cynergy TK. This natural substance was developed in New Zealand and it contains functional keratin, which is a vital protein that works with the natural skin proteins to help you achieve youthful, smooth and soft skin. You will not find this substance in any of the brand name skin care products. It is only available in specialty skin creams available on the internet.
Another natural substance that has anti aging properties is Phytessence Wakame. This is specific type of Japanese sea kelp. It helps maintains the levels of hyaluronic acid in the skin. This acid also works with the natural skin proteins to help maintain the overall health of your skin.
If you would like more information on the natural substances that should be in your facial skin care treatment product, then please visit my website today.

Skin Care At Home – 4 Tips To Become Your Own Beautician
There is no need to argue against expert care. Not many can duplicate the services professional skin care practitioners render inside beauty shops. Which is why expert care is costly. But it does not mean these are all beyond what you can do. In fact by knowing what personal skin care is all about, you can be your own beauty expert. What you need is the basic inclination as well as the discipline to follow through and stick to your routine. You also need to know how to select the perfect personal skin care product for you, how they work, and the proper way of using them.
The first thing to do when you embark on a personal skin care regimen is to examine your skin type. You need to know whether your skin is normal, oily, dry or sensitive. And with that you need to choose the skin care product that suits your skin type. You might find it useful to test a number of products before you come to a final decision.
If you have a normal skin type, the following personal skin care regimen is suggested:
1. Cleansing. A good personal skin care program always starts with cleansing. Part of this step is the selection of a good cleanser. The three core cleanser ingredients of a cleanser are water, surfactants (also known as wetting agents) and oil. Surfactants and oil extract oil and dirt from the skin and the water flushes it out, thereby cleansing your skin. Again, you may have to try several cleansers first before picking your best choice.
Important considerations in cleansing include the use of non-soap or soap-free cleansers, the use of lukewarm water for cleansers to open up the skin pores, and the right amount of cleansers to apply. Note that overcleansing can damage your skin.
2. Exfoliation. Cleansing is usually followed by exfoliation. The skin has a natural maintenance and replacement process where it sheds dead skin cells off to be replaced by new ones. Dead skin cells tend to block the pores and the underlying skin layers. Aside from attracting bacterial infection, dead skin cells absorb skin care products but prevent the products from creating their desired effects. What exfoliation does then is facilitate the removal of these dead skin cells.
Ideally, exfoliation should be done 4 to 5 times a week for oily and normal skin and 1 to 2 times a week for dry and sensitive skin. The frequency needs to be increased further during hot and humid weather conditions and reduced during cooler times. The key to effective exfoliation is knowing just how often you need it to get the best results.
3. Moisturizing. This process is basic in personal skin care. Everyone should moisturize, including those whose skin is already oily. Moisturizers not only induce the skin cells to remain moist but also attract moisture from the air whenever needed. Be warned, however, that excessive amounts of moisturizers can clog the skin pores and end up harming your skin. Exactly how much moisturizing you need can be made manifest after a week or so of application, after which you can then start making adjustments. Remember further that moisturizers are best applied on damp skin.
4. Sunscreen. Good moisturizers are doubly beneficial because they come with UV protection. Nevertheless, you should always apply sunscreen irrespective of whether it is sunny or cloudy because sunlight contains UV rays, excessive exposure to which can be harmful to the skin.
Having said all of the above, there is not one best personal skin care regimen for all people. What works best will be for you to experiment on and decide. Just remember that for any sort of skin disorder, you need to consult a dermatologist as a basic step.
