How to Cleanse and Tone Face Skin

Hi,

Normally people don't understand the proper process of cleansing and toning. They just mindlessly smear the products on their face.There is a proper process to reap the maximum benefit of the products.

Process of Cleansing and Toning

Start with wetting the face with warm water. Then take some cleanser on your finger tips and massage into your face for 20-30 sec, carefully rubbing the face wash onto the problem areas like sides of the nose, the temples, under the lower lip and even the ears. Rinse with warm water and pat dry. 

Then take some toner onto a cotton pad and gently wipe your face 5-6 times. You’ll notice hues of yellow, brown or even gray coming onto the cotton pad. This is residual of debris which cleanser not able to remove or even residue of cleanser which water was not able to remove. Leave the toner to dry (or wash it with plain water) and then pat your skin dry.

Explanation

Warm water

Use warm water to moisten your face, warm water helps to loosen the debris, not hot not cold use warm water.

Cotton pad

Use cotton pad , thin and flat cotton pad, not round fluffy cotton ball. cotton ball absorbs lot of product which is not necessary. Plus, pad is easier to use. 

Products

Cleanser

Cleansers are freely available in market, my personal favorite are from Neutrogena and Garnier. Use a face wash which is according to your skin type.

Toner

Hands down Rose Water is the winner in this category. Dabur and Ayur are the market leaders for this product. Witch Hazel is a good option for oily skin. These are available in bark form at local herb stores, boil the bark with water and store in refrigerator. Should be good for a week.
