Do You Take Care of Your Face?

What's your skin care routine? Do you have one? Or even have any idea what I am talking about?
Well, I will explain just in case you don't!
A skin care routine can be something as simple as using a facial cleanser once a day or it an be something as complex as using a parade of products: make-up remover, facial cleanser, toner, multiple serums, eye creams, creams/lotions, and sunscreens, performed twice a day.
I think that outside of the beauty industry, the skin care routine is not considered to be all that important. However, I personally feel that the source of all natural beauty comes from beautiful, healthy, radiant skin. Some women, of course, are born with this type of skin, having to put little to no effort to make their face appear flawless (my best friend happens to be one of these people - it's so frustrating)! These usually end up being the women who have no idea what a skin care routine is! However, for the rest of us, achieving a balanced and beautiful skin tends to take a little bit - or a lot, depending - of effort.
The best way to begin on a skin outine is to keep it simple. This way, you are more likely to commit and stay consistent to your routine. An example of what I consider to be a simple skin care routine includes three key proucts: cleanser, toner and moisturizer. All of these products would ideally be suited to your skin type/ skin care concerns. For instance my skin type is combination oily. E.g. normal feeling cheeks, shiny (greasy) chin, nose and forehead. My skin care concerns: uneven skin tone and texture. Thus my 'simple' skin care routine would look something like this:
Cleanser - for normal/combination skin
Toner - for normal/combination skin
Moisturizer - for normal combination skin which also evens skin tone

Seems simple enough right?
Something else I might mention is that not everyone has to have a skin care concern. You might be perfectly happy with the appearence of your skin, but are just looking to begin a routine to take care of your face! In this instance, you would just choose your moisturizer based on your skin type! Ideally a skin care routine is to be done twice a day, no less, and definitely NO MORE (oily skin ladies, I am speaking to you). I guarantee if you begin treating your skin with this type of consistent care, no matter how great your skin is to begin with, that you will see an improvement in the texture and radiance of your skin within a couple of weeks! Also, you will be removing all of the icky grime that builds up on your skin throughout the day and throughout the night - who wants a build up of pollution on their face!?
So cleanse on, ladies. Cleanse on.
