Tips Kecantikan Wajah

Secara umum baik wanita mau pun pria harus menjaga kulitnya dari berbagai gangguan. Tindakan yang patut dilakukan adalah berikut ini:
• Cuci tangan yang bersih sebelum menyentuh wajah Anda
• Lakukan cleansing kulit wajah pada pagi dan malam hari:
Perlu dilakukan di malam hari – meski Anda tidak ber-makeup, karena wajah mudah dinodai oleh polusi. Perlu pula dilakukan pada pagi hari, karena kulit Anda mengeluarkan lemak dan kotoran pada malam hari
• Di malam hari, luangkan waktu untuk memijat kulit untuk menstimulasi sirkulasi pertukaran sel-sel pada kulit. Pijatan lembut selama dua menit bisa menghilangkan keletihan, menyantaikan wajah dan memberi kecerahan kulit.
• Lindungi kulit secara benar, apalagi bila Anda sering bepergian.

Untuk kulit kering:
• Berilah kesenangan setiap saat
.• Ubah jenis produk perawatan kulit sesuai musim, iklim, dan gaya hidup Anda: lingkungan ber-AC, kehidupan di alam terbuka

• Hindari mandi dengan air panas, ada baiknya memakai bath oil

Untuk kulit sensitif:
• Hangatkan dulu produk perawatan di genggaman tangan sebelum Anda memakainya. Lakukan perawatan kulit tanpa menggosok
• Sebaiknya gunakan jari jemari daripada katun wol, kain atau tisu.
