Step one is cleansing. Whilst it might seem obvious, you’d be amazed just how many people do not take cleansing seriously as a daily part of making their skin look it’s best. Well, more fool them! Fortunately, there’s absolutely no need to spend the stupid amounts that some ‘name’ brands charge – a shop brand cleanser will do just fine. However, it’s important to make sure that you do not cleanse too often – once a day will usually be enough to ensure that your skin lights up that summer beauty spot, and will prepare you perfectly for the next step to perfect skin: exfoliating.
Exfoliating is the next step, and is just as important as the first one. Whilst it might sound fairly complicated (something that people at a spa might go on about), exfoliating is simply the process of getting rid of all that dry and dusty skin that inevitably clings to your face long after it’s shuffled off this mortal coil.
There are a variety of different ways that you can get this done, whether it’s scrubs or peels (men actually exfoliate daily by shaving – whether they are aware of this, however, is doubtful), so find the method that works best for you and try to have a good exfoliating session at least once a week.Fortunately, this next step is one that everyone is aware of – moisturizing! Needless to say, all those Hollywood stars who have not changed in twenty years invest a lot of time in high quality moisturizer – which means that you should, too! Moisturising is an essential part of blending into that summer beauty spot, and of any skin routine. Ensure that you apply a good product to all areas of your face – even those that are oily.
You might be considering the merits of not doing so, but even skin with grease buildup can benefit from moisturizing due to the sealant of liquid into the skin, keeping it away from those oilier areas!Finally, the last step is a very important part of any summer routine: applying the right amount of sunscreen! When it comes to your skin, there is no bigger problem that you can inflict on it than being out in the sun for hour after hour. Not only will you likely end up looking a bit like a handbag, but you’ll also run the risk of obtaining cancer and other skin afflictions. Obtain the best quality sun protection (do not scrimp and save here) and then head out to the beauty spot, knowing you are far more safe from those nasty sun rays. And then have a great time!
