First and Foremost


The skin care items you will need and choosing the right one that works for you!

 Now I know as a college student budgets are pretty damn tight, yes I emphasize the word damn because everyone stresses about money while starting their first years of college. I know Neutrogena came out with the wave spinner and Olay with that fancy bristle brush that spins..but ladies and gentlemen we have hands and arms that we can very much put to use when cleaning our face. A simple facial brush which I posted a picture of here at the top is all you need. If you have a fancy brush those work too. ;]

To start of, the facial cleansers:

Cream cleansers: Milky and creamy cleansers moisturize while they clean your skin. For better results apply them with your fingers and use that bristle brush rubbing lightly in CIRCULAR motions using warm water all around your face and keeping away from the eyes and under eyes. Rinse off with cool water. Pat dry with a towel.

Foaming Cleansers: This is for skin types that need deeper cleansing or to remove make up, thick sunscreens in the summer and more.  The foam lathers onto your skin and cleans deep. Again, for better results apply them with your fingers and use that bristle brush rubbing lightly in CIRCULAR motions using warm water all around your face and keeping away from the eyes and under eyes. Rinse off with cool water. Pat dry with a towel.

Make up removers are great for starting off your cleansing process. You should be washing your face at least twice a day, in the morning when you wake up and before you go to bed. More than three times can actually cause damage to the skin and make it ultra dry or sensitive.

Toners are great for applying after cleaning your face to balance the pH levels in your skin.

Facial scrubs: Yummmm, now and days there are different scents colors, whatever suits you. Gentle scrubs with micro beads will definitely brighten up dull complexions. Again, for better results apply them with your fingers and use that bristle brush rubbing lightly in CIRCULAR motions using warm water all around your face and keeping away from the eyes and under eyes. Rinse off with cool water. Pat dry with a towel

VERY IMPORTANT!!! Using moisturizer is vital to keeping skin healthy and giving it that nice youthful glow!

Tomorrow I will talk about what products to use, and recipes on how to make your own home-made face mask from the comfort of your own home.

Hope everyone has a goodnight :]
