Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

  • A cleanser for your skin type
  • A moisturiser for your skin type
  • Pimple treatment cream
  • Face mask for your skin type
  • Exfoliating scrub for your skin type

Step1
Choosing your products.

It is very important to choose the right products. First you need to assess your skin type. If you have oily skin, dry skin, normal skin, sensitive skin or combination skin. Combination skin is when you are oily at the "T-Zone" and dry/normal around the mouth or cheeks.
Step2
Once you have assessed your skin type you can pick products from your skin type family. For example if you had dry skin you would pick a creamy cleanser and a hydarting moisturiser. If you had oily skin for example you would pick a cleanser for acne prone skin and an oil-controlling moisturier.
Step3
Cleansing: The average person should cleanse their face twice a day, in the morning and at night. This will help to remove the build-up of dirt and oil in and on the skin!
Exfoliation: If you have dry skin you should only exfoliate 1-2 times a week, on the other hand if you have oily skin you can exfoliate everyday, beacause on oily skin dead skin cells come to the skins suface very often and quickly. If you don't exfoliate your skin will look dull and lifeless, if you exfoliate your skin will be radiant and glowing.
Face Masks: You should do a face mask about once a week to once a fortnight. A face mask is like a party for your skin. If you have dry skin, masks with avocado, honey, cucumber and green tea can be very good for your skin! If you have oily skin, things like, oatmeal, clay/mud, and anyting that removes dirt and oil.
Moisturiser: It is VERY important to moisturise, some people think that if you have oily skin you don't have to moisturise, but infact this will actually cause your skin to produce more oil resulting in pimples. So, if you have oily skin you just need to use a moisturiser that will control the oil. If you have dry skin however, you will need a very hydrating moistriser.
Pimple Treatment Cream: You only need to apply this to blemishes. It will help to clear the blemish up quicker and reduce redness or swelling. Dab onto each INDIVIDUAL blemish!
