Afraid of that Halloween mask staying on forever? Don't be. Face care is easy and can be turned into a daily routine for anyone with an extra five minutes in their day. But when is the best time do all of this?
A face wash is best to do before you go to bed. The pores will open and stay clean all night. It is also very beneficial to choose an exfoliating wash, cream, or scrub. The skin is thinnest on your face, therefore the cells die and reproduce a lot faster. Dead skin cells can create problems for the new skin which create blemishes. That is where the exfoliating comes in. Products that advertised with "beads" in them are perfect because they rub against the skin. The chemicals in the wash exfoliate, or clear out the dead skin cells on your face. This is why you get a fresh stinging sensation after the wash! After the night wash, you should apply a facial moisturizer before you go to sleep. REMEMBER: When choosing any product for your face, make sure it says "FACIAL" or "FOR THE FACE". Because it is the thinnest skin on your body, other soaps, cleansers and moisturizers are too strong for your face.
*******ATTENTION* After exfoliating, it is even more important to apply a facial SPF lotion because the skin cells are new and more susceptible to UV Rays**********
It is also very smart to wash your pillowcase once, if not twice a week because the dirt and particles that pile up easily sink into your pores while you are sleeping. If you shower at any time during the day you should definitely moisturize afterwards. Leaving the skin dry kills the cells faster and the exfoliation cleanser you just used in the shower is therefore useless. No matter what, the face should be washed and moisturized before bed.
Some wash their face when they wake up, which is completely fine. Personally, I find it pointless. After you wash, you will most likely apply make-up, go to class, play a sport, go to work, etc. Your face is now getting its days worth of dirt and should be washed at night as well. I just believe it is a waste of time. However, a simple cold splash of water in the morning helps wake you up and get rid of those circles under the eyes.
Again, the best moisturizers are the organic ones. The exfoliating washes, scrubs, and cleansers can be big name brand products. I prefer to use the Clean & Clear exfoliators because they really work for my skin type. It really does depend on the person.
By request, I found my favorite moisturizer online. It is a Vitamin Enhanced Moisturizer from "Made By Earth". It contains no parabens or chemical preservatives and is made completely of ingredients from nature. However, it is a little on the expensive side going for $86.00 per product! It is really hard to find an organic product for a reasonable price.
