Skin Care

Skin Care has been a part of our everyday life since the early days of civilization. We find evidences in ancient Egyptian and Indus Valley civilization and where women (and men) are found busy in doing face care, body care and foot care. Treatment of acne with elements found in nature has been mentioned in ancient writings. Different types of skin care and herbal care were very common in those days. We find lot of those evidence in there sculpture and scripts available. It is a very common saying or myth that Queen Cleopatra used to bath with aloe vera extracts. People, right from the ancient times have always been conscious about their skin and realized the importance of skin care because of the fact that  they simply waned to look beautiful. And you can’t look good without taking good care of your skin.with time skin care has come a long way and today you can find skin care products as never before.This websites makes an attempt to offer some very important skin care tips that will help you to achieve a healthy glowing skin.

Skin Care for Different Skin Types:

Oily skin:
Problem: Excessive sebum production in the face tend to have shiny faces after several hours of doing their skin care regimen.
Remedy: To get a toner or a cleanser to wipe out excess sebum.
Functioning: Eliminate clogged pores, thus eliminating the possibilities of acne and other skin blemishes.
It is not a good idea to dry out the skin to lessen the oil. Dry skin tends to be sensitive and may develop skin blemishes.

Dry skin:
Problem: Looks dry and rough all the time.
Remedy: Moisturizing it at night and before you start your day. Add a deep moisturizer to your skin care regimen weekly (if it is too dry)
Avoid: Smoking and alcohol—these can dry the skin more than cold climates. Moisturize arms and legs if they appear scaly.

Combination skin:
This is the most common type of skin. Skin care is more or less similar to either oily or dry skin. Usual parts of skin that are oily are the T-zone and the dry parts are the sides of the face near the cheek bones. Treatment may be more expensive because you will usually use two kinds of products for each skin type.

Sensitive skin:
Needs hypoallergenic products for skin care? People with this skin type must not use products that are heavily scented or heavily colored. It is best to look for products that are organic and botanical to prevent allergic reactions.

Normal skin:
Just requires cleansing and maintenance. Skin care for normal skin is less strenuous than the other types of skin.

Best Approach to Skin Care
The kind of skin care we need depends on the type of skin we have. If you care your skin in a wrong way, you would eventually get skin blemishes and other skin disorders. Knowing one’s skin type is essential for the proper care of skin.
