Skin is often the first thing we notice about each other. From it we can tell a person’s health, age, background, and ethnic make up. For instance, sallowness suggests anaemia; wrinkles generally place the wearer’s age at 40-plus; sunspots tell a story of adolescent tanning; and pitted scars suggest past acne.
Oily skin produces excessive amounts of sebum, a lipid-rich protective substance. A good thing about oily skin is that it is usually well-moisturized due to its own protective oil. The downside is that it may look shiny or dirty and tends to develop large pores and be prone to acne.
Cleansing is the first essential step in your daily skin care routine.Cleansing the face 2-3 times a day; is adequate for normal skin. If your skin is oily a more frequent cleansing i.e. 4-5 times a day is necessary. If your skin is dry it is best to avoid frequent washing and you may have to use a suitable oil-based cosmetic cleanser instead of soap, which has a dry effect.There are several alternatives to soap and water cleansing. Cleansers can be in the form of creams, milks, lotions, gels and liquids.All are, a mixture of oil, wax and water which have been formulated to suit different skin types. A cotton -pad dipped in fresh milk available at home, is an equally effective cleanser.
