The holidays are here and your not looking the best you can and need help now. I sure know how that feels. If you're not aware how to achieve great skin I will give you the basics.

These basics are to be use with all levels of skin care. Without this knowledge it doesn't matter if you spend a thousand buck on a skin care line you would have already failed in the aging department.

There are some rules that have to be followed know matter what you use. Once you know how to use your skin supplies properly you can save money by avoiding potential skin problems and using you products more effectively.

Did You Know?: You will use less product by applying moisturizers after toning your skin. Toning will not only balance your skin but allow you to use less product by easier and smoother application of moisturizers.

5 Steps To Your Daily Skin Care Routine

1. Cleanse at least 2 times a day with facial cleanser.
2. Change cleanser to gentle exfoliating cleanser 2 times a week.
3. Always use toner to re-balance skin (4.5-5.5 pH).
4. Always use SPF moisturizer during the day for skin protection.
5. Always use moisturizer without SPF at night for skin healing.

That is the short an sweet version to good skin care. If you use the basics you will tell a difference in your skin every 20 days for the better, if now you will continue to see dull skin with excess dry skin cells and clogged pores and fine wrinkles that will come due to now being balanced while experiencing advanced aging due to environmental damage.

Benefits To A Healthy Skin Routine

Facial Cleanser

There are many facial cleansers on the market that are very inexpensive but using a soap not designed for your face is not an option. You want to look rejuvenated with a clear clean complexion. You can even make your own facial cleanser with the right products.

• Acne cleanser
• Gentle cleanser for sensitive skin.
• Creamy cleanser for skin 50 plus.
• Vitamin C cleanser for skin with lines and/or freckles age-spots.

Facial cleansers are made to gently remove dirt and makeup from skin without harming the skin. Choose a cleanser that is made for your particular skin rather you have blemishes or wrinkles. A great rule of thumb is to go creamy if your older and clear under 30 .

You can find many facial products at the dollar store or your favorite department store for a very reasonable price. However treating your skin with high quality ingredients has extra added advantages.

Exfoliating Cleanser

An exfoliating cleanser is used to remove the clogging dulling dry skin cells from your face. You can get an exfoliating face wash which has small grains (should not hurt) it may be called a facial scrub also.

Exfoliating your skin forces it to plump up exposing less lines and wrinkles leaving you with smoother and softer new skin exposed with less lines! You should wash your face with this product for at least twice a week for a minute and a half or two.

You can get the Equate (clearing blackheads will make all skin types feel refreshed) brand from Walmart in the blue tube or experiment with others. Here are some great recipes for home made facial scrubs.

I found that this exfoliating cleanser leaves your skin soft , clear and vibrant even if you don't have pimples. If you've never used on before this is your opportunity to experience soft glowing skin at a discounted price. The spas can charge over $100 for this service but you will end up right where you started if you don't maintain it at home with the right products.

Toner

The value of toning your skin is priceless. Many people have no idea that your skin has to be re balanced (slightly acidic) to be in a healthy state,allow better benefit from moisturizers and to age well.

Your skin should be toned (rebalanced) after every wash and after removing any mask which make your skin alkaline. After cleaning your skin it is alkaline.Rebalancing your skin with a toner will enable your skin to receive the full benefits from your SPF and night moisturizers and improve your cell turnover rate causing skin to age well.

Toning your skin is as simple as using witch hazel. However using a toner for your skin type is advised.

You can swipe in on with a cotton pad after cleansing or removing a facial mask or mist it on with a spray bottle. Witch hazel will also calm those tired eyes by applying it on eye pads made with cotton.

Moisturizer

Moisturizing your face is necessary for everyone regardless of their skin situation. Moisturizing serves as a protective covering from the outside element and as a seal to keep skin hydrated leaving you with a softer smoother and subtle skin. During the day your moisturizers should have SPF protection. During the night the added chemicals of an SPF protection should be avoided. Night time is when your skin reforms and heals and receives added benefit from night treatments.

To age well and prevent future issues you will have to be faithful to your skincare regimen everyday.

Treating Baggy Eyes or Avoiding It

Eye Massage

The skin underneath your eyes are very delicate and can cause the best of use to look older that we are. Remembering that our skin is attached to your muscles should persuade you to remember not to rub outward. Our muscle underneath our eyes go inward! Rubbing in the opposite direction will detach our skin from our muscle causing the baggy eye syndrome.

Lightly rub our fingers around your eye in the direction of the hair growth of your eyebrows to stimulate that muscle properly. I know this sounds crazy but the most expensive eye cream can't re-attach your skin to your muscle.

Do this while washing your face for better gliding and control. A few seconds while washing is all you need. It is best to start using this method before you have a bad problem or to avoid baggy eyes.

Eye Exercises

1. You can also place two fingers over your eyelids and do eyebrow lifts to exercise your eye muscles. Exercise your eyebrow one at a time and both together for a total of 5 minutes 3 times a day. You will have awsome results in your first week.
2. Hold fingers over your eyes and lift your eyebrows for 5 counts. Do this 5 times 3 times a day. These exercises will tighten your eye muscles causing a more youthful appearance.

Use Murad Eye Lift cream under your eyes for added lift results and firmer skin.
