Basic Skin Care: So Simple but yet So Necessary!



Basic Skin Care: So Simple but yet So Necessary!

By: Audrey Marcher

 

When you think of celebrities with flawless skin, who come to mind? Halle Berry, Jennifer Hudson, Cate Blanchett, even Ashton Kutcher?

Yes, these movie stars seem to shine (in a healthy way) on and off the screen and with or without makeup. Of course, these Hollywood hotties have shared their beauty secrets with numerous online sites.

If there is one thing that these celebrities have in common when it comes to taking care of their skin, it's a regular at-home maintenance routine. Here's what you'll need for yours:

1. Facial Cleanser

2.Toner

3.Moisturizer

Use these three products in the order listed in the morning not long after you wake up and before you put your makeup on and in the evening before you go to bed. First, use warm water with your cleanser to open up those pores and unclog them of any bacteria. Second, use the toner to clean off any residue bacteria the cleanser may have not washed way. Toner also closes up those clean pores so that bacteria doesn't get back in. Thirdly, use a moisturizer to hydrate your skin. Ashton Kutcher, for example, has said that his smooth complexion is due to diligent hydration.

One More Thing: Lastly, I can't stress sunscreen enough. Read any beauty tips from a Hollywood actor or actress and more than likely they've listed sunscreen as a staple in their daily skin care. Using sunscreen, even in the winter, protects your skin from harmful UV-B rays that can cause permanent damage and early aging to your skin. So make sure you slather on some sunscreen as the final step of your skin care routine in the morning before you brave the world!

Stay Beautiful! - Audrey.
