We all know that cleansing our face the right way is the start to great skin, and yet, you’ll be shocked at how many of us might not be doing it right. The key to knowing how to get clear skin is a strict cleansing, toning and moisturising routine (and a few lifestyle edits) that you practice with military precision day in and day out. Want to know what they are? Well, here’s our list of pointers on how to maintain good skin…
 

Know your water temperature

Know your water temperature

As banal as it sounds the temperature of the water you wash your face with has a huge impact on your skin. For example, lukewarm water is suitable for oily skin whereas those with dry and normal skin should wash their face with cold water to maintain its health. Hot water is a total no-no!

Quick tip: Use a cold towel compress to relax a tired or puffy face.

Using a cleanser meant for your skin type is of utmost importance. The one that works for all skin types is the Pond’s Pure White Deep Cleansing Facial Foam. With Activated Carbon properties, this cleanser when rubbed in gentle circular motions, deeply cleanses the skin removing all dirt. Plus its parabens free which makes it completely safe! While parabens might preserve the product, they also enter the skin and mimic hormones in the body disrupting functions of the endocrine system.

Quick tip: Wash your skin using this cleanser but remember to use lukewarm water so your skin’s hydration levels are intact. After washing, your skin should look and feel radiant and supple.

Rubbing your face with a napkin to dry your face is the biggest mistake you’re making. Instead, gently pat dry with the help of a soft wipe or clean towel and moisturise. A lot of people with oily skin feel that a moisturiser is not needed; this is a big myth. Every skin no matter how oily or dry needs the right kind of moisturiser. Go for the Ponds Silk Cream Moisturiser as this cream feels soft and smooth on the skin as well as blends in perfectly leaving your skin looking fresh as ever. It has a 24-hour moisture lock formula, which means your skin will be hydrated and nourished throughout the day.

Quick tip: If you are on the go and you need instant hydration, spray a face mist at regular intervals. It hydrates instantly without ruining your makeup.

With these effective tips, you should be able to say hello to clean and clear skin soon. Remember girls, there’s no better way to make an impression than by flaunting gorgeous skin!
