The Skincare Equipment Kit
Remember what is important for young and glowing skin:
cleanse
exfoliate
moisturize
protect
Glycerin soap /cleansing bars/
Because normal soap is too harsh for our delicate facial skin, good glycerin soap is a must. But soaps with moisturizing ingredients are good if you prefer soap and water.
Cream cleaners
Milky or creamy cleansers moisturize while they cleanse.
Apply them with your clean fingers, let them soak in, and then remove them with cotton balls.
Foaming cleansers
For skin that needs deeper cleansing you lather them onto your skin and then rinse with the water.
Cleansing wipes
Wipes are for girls and women who live low maintenance skincare. Choose ones that are designed for your skin type.
Makeup removers
This is essential for removing mascara.
Facial scrub
Gentle scrubs with micro beads or spheres of exfoliant will brighten up dull complexions.
Toners
If you choose to use a toner, use one that’s alcohol-free.
Light moisturizers
Gel or lotion based moisturizers are beneficial during the day or for skin types that benefit from less oil and more water.
Heavy moisturizers
Thick, oil-based moisturizers are best for winter, or on very dry or aging skin.
Clay face mask
Perfect for helping clear pores; mud masks have similar effect.
Moisturizing face masks
This type gives the skin a moisture boost - good ingredients to look for are: aqua rose water or seaweed.
Peel-off masks
Often based on cucumber, these masks exfoliate the skin and give the face a bright and healthy glow.
Eye creams
The skin around the eye is thinner and sensitive and needs richer; less irritating creams.
Serums
This delivers concentrated hydrating and ant aging ingredients to the skin. Use them before your normal moisturizer, so they can be absorbed.
Pore strips
Help clear black heads and reduce blocked and open pores.
Blemish sticks
Usually containing antiseptic ingredients like witch hazel, salicylic acid or tea tree oil, and these help fight minor blemishes
Sunscreen
This is very important!!! Use sun protection on your face every day, even when the sun does not shine. Choose an SPF 15 sunscreen that contains titanium dioxide, zinc oxide or Parsol 1789 (avobenzene) listed as an active ingredients.
