Using makeup the whole day makes you face look tired and dried out. Therefore it is very important that you take that extra care of your skin to make it look supple, fresh and vibrant. Therefore women who wear makeup should carry out a routine of cleansing, toning and moisturing programme everyday.

CLEANSING

Cleansing will remove old makeup and the grime and grease that have been accumulated during the day. Follow the following steps:

Remove mascara with a cotton bud dipped in eye-cleansing lotion. Tie your hair up and keep it off your face as far as possible.

Remove the eye shadow by gently wiping it off with a pad of clean cotton wool moistened with eye-cleansing lotion.

Pour a little face cleansing cream into the palm of one hand and dab it generously over the nose, chin, forehead and cheeks---using two fingers of the other hand.

Narrow nail beds appear stronger with a soft square shape.

Massage the cream into the skin, starting under the throat, using a gentle upward motion. Continue massaging the cream up to the forehead, using the fingertips.

Gently massage the cream from the eyes to the nose.

Massage cream back over the chin, which is particularly prone to blackheads. Use the index finger.

Remove the cream from the face with tissue pads in each hand. Start under the chin and work over the cheeks and on to the forehead


TONING

Toners remove all traces of dirt, makeup or cleanser that remain after cleansing.

Immediately after cleansing apply toner to the forehead and cheeks with the help of a pad of cotton wool.

Apply the toner to the crevices around the nose.

Apply the toner to the crevices around the chin.


MOISTURIZING

Moisturising your skin will make it smooth and supple. Moisturising your sin is an important part of beauty treatment and should be followed religiously.

Using the tips of the fingers, dot moisturising cream lightly all over the face.

Press the fingers of both hands into the centre of the forehead and work the cream slowly outwards. Pat the cream gently around the eyes.

Work the cream around the jaw line, chin and mouth with the middle fingers of both hands.

Massage the cream over the throat with alternating hands, using upward strokes from collarbone to chin
