One's beauty is
incomplete without a fresh and glowing skin. However, not everybody is
blessed with a naturally good skin. As skin is one of the most delicate
parts of our body, even those who are blessed with a good and charming
skin need to take care of it properly. Those who are not blessed with
that natural charm and appeal need to work hard on their skin to make it
shiny, smooth and beautiful. Different people have different textures of
skin like oily, dry and normal.
However, some of the
people have extremely sensitive skin which needs extra special care. The
basic ways to take care of any kind of skin is cleansing, toning and
moisturizing.
Why does skin require cleansing,
toning & moisturizing?

and traffic makes skin dull, dry and dead. Regular exposure to all these
things makes skin faint and pale. Gradually, it starts taking toll on
the skin and permanently damages its texture. If you do not want your
skin to lose its charm before time, the only remedy to it is constant
caring. The easiest and effective way to care for your skin is regular
cleansing, toning & moisturizing.

wash with water in order to remove dust stick to your face. Remember, a
face wash can help you get rid of the dust but it is not simply enough
to remove all the impurities from your face. Once you have done
cleansing, you can go for light scrubbing. This will help you get rid of
black heads a dead skin. Now pat your skin dry with a clean towel. Dip cotton in fresh milk
or artificially available cleanser (whatever available) and properly
apply it all over your face. Remove it with dry cotton after few
minutes. Wash the face with water again.

alpha hydroxy acid are best for toning for almost all kinds of skin. Natural toning is also a

combination of fresh cucumber juice with yoghurt as an astringent.
You can use the
combination of egg white with honey mixed with few drops of lemon juice
as a toner for oily skin.Apply toner with cotton
all over your face except the eyes and lips. Wipe the toner in upward
and outward direction.
