DAILY SKIN CARE :
Your skin is not a
part of your body that you can forget about (like an appendix or a kidney),
assuming that it will look after itself. It is a high-maintenance part of
your body, which is sensitive to the slightest changes in your health,
emotions and environment. You binge on chocolates and your face becomes a
mass of pimples; you don't get a good night's sleep and dark circles appear
under your eyes; you're out in the sun a lot and you get burnt or develop
freckles. The list is endless. So let's take a look at skin care regimes for
different kinds of skin.
Dry skin
Use a rich cream
cleanser instead of soap and water. Avoid astringents, as they will further
dry your skin. Instead, use a mild skin toner after cleansing your skin.
Apply a good moisturizing lotion in the day, before sleeping, before applying
make-up and after removing make-up.
Once a week, wash your
face with the juice of a melon. You can give yourself a weekly facial by
mixing a yolk of an egg with two tablespoons of milk and half a tablespoon of
honey. Apply this on your face and leave it on for about fifteen minutes.
Then wash with lukewarm water. If you're out in the sun a lot, milk mixed
with melted butter helps soften the dry skin.
Lanolin, apple juice,
peach juice, sour cream and crushed almonds are also helpful for dry skin.
Oily skin
You may not believe
it, but oily skin actually has some advantages. As a result of excess
lubrication, wrinkles do not form prematurely and skin is not much affected
by wind and sunlight. However, oily skin is a magnet for dirt and grime and
thus a good and regular cleansing regime is a must. If oily skin is not
cleaned thoroughly and regularly, the dirt will clog the pores in the skin
and blackheads will appear.
People with oily skin
should wash their faces with medicated soap and water. The use of astringents
is advised as they have a tightening and drying effect on the skin.
Buttermilk or beaten egg whites also have a drying and tightening effect.
Parsley juice mixed with honey and a few drops of lemon or ginger is good for
an oily skin. This mixture controls the secretion of oil.
Fuller's earth
(Multani mitti), oatmeal, almond paste, or lime juice or vinegar mixed with
water are excellent cleansers. Steaming opens up the clogged pores and you
can push out blackheads and whiteheads and prevent pimples.
Avoid rich fried foods
and load up on green vegetables instead. Take two tablespoons of lecithin
granules (a by-product of soyabeans) daily.
After washing your
face, soak a towel in hot water and press it to your face. Repeat this
process two or three times. Next wet the towel in ice-cold water and repeat
the process two or three times to close enlarged pores.
Cucumber, parsley,
cabbage, tomato, yoghurt and lemon are natural aids for an oily skin.
Combination skin
If you have an oily
nose and forehead, but dry cheeks and chin, you will have to treat each area
of your face separately depending on whether it is dry or oily.
