If you are blessed enough to have naturally clear skin regardless of your skin type, then the best skin care to maintain this is keeping a simple skin care regimen. There are only four basic steps that you need to do religiously on regular basis.

First step to the best skin care is cleansing. You need to find a good cleanser that is suitable for your skin and stick to it. Your cleanser does not need to be the expensive brand but must be one that works for your skin type. You must also keep away from soaps as they tend to dry out skin. For dry skin, you will need to purchase a creamy cleanser and oily skin uses a clear cleanser.

The best skin care regimen does not require you to wash your face too often. Washing your face at night is best to take away the accumulated dirt from the whole day. The application of a cold cream should be considered after washing to replace the necessary oil that has been washed out especially if you have dry skin. A splash of lukewarm water is sufficient for a morning wash to help remove the excess oil build up from your overnight moisturizer.

Exfoliation is the second step to the best skin care regimen and you can choose from microdermabrasion, chemical peels or retinoids. Microdermabrasion uses gentle scrubs with tiny grains that can remove the top layer of dead skin to restore the glow to your complexion. Chemical peel is a stronger procedure of exfoliation that uses professionally prepared treatments where a single treatment can actually take off years of dead skin from your face. However, if you have the extra budget, it is recommended to have the chemical peel done by professionals as well. The last form of exfoliation on the other hand, retinoids like Retin-A or Renova can be in form of creams that also gets rid of the dead skin cells on the top layer of your skin while generating collagen at the same time.

After cleansing and peeling, your skin could be stripped off the important oils that keep your skin smooth and supple. To compensate for the lost oil is moisturizing, the third vital step to the best skin care routine. This process seals moisture into your skin, no matter what your skin type is. However moisturizers are formulated for the delicate and sensitive skin that surrounds your eye. So it is highly recommended to use eye creams especially since this is the area that is highly prone to wrinkling.

To finally complete your best skin care regimen, the last step is the use of sunscreen to protect the results of the first three steps. Some people may not see this step as important as the first three but your skin is more prone to damage when you expose your freshly cleansed, exfoliated and moisturized skin without protection. It is common knowledge that the sun or its ultra violet rays are the main cause of wrinkling on our skin.

Having the best skin care is essential to maintain you’re a clear and wrinkle-free skin. You can even develop your own regimen that you reckon would be best suited for your skin. Remember to keep it to the four simple steps: cleanse, exfoliate, moisturize and protect.

When it comes to hair removal it can sometimes seem that men have it easy. All they have to do is run a razor over their face and they are done. They don’t have to worry about hairy legs, armpits and upper lips like women do. And waxing is very often said to be the best solution but it can also be the most painful one. And waxing is definitely not for everybody. Particularly if you have sensitive skin.

But there are many other pain free hair removal methods that are just as effective as waxing.

Depilatory creams.

These are creams that are applied to the skin and then removed. They will then take the excess hair with them. They do this by using an ingredient called sodium thyoglicolate to dissolve the keratin that makes up the hair follicles. 

For best results when using a depilatory cream you first need to rinse the area where the hair is to be removed in warm water. This will help to soften the hair follicles which will make the whole process much quicker and easier. Dry your face and then apply the cream using the spatula or application device provided. You will notice quite an unpleasant smell when you are applying the cream. This will go away when the cream is rinsed off.

Always follow the instructions and never exceed the recommended time to leave the cream on. You could risk burning your skin if you do. Wipe the excess cream away with a spatula, removal device or an unscented wipe. Then rinse the area in lukewarm water to help remove all of the cream. If you can still smell the cream then you need to continue rinsing.

These can be used on the face, legs underarms and forearms. But they should never be used on the genitals, nipples or eyebrows.

Always perform a skin sensitivity test before using a depilatory cream. Test it on a small area and if your skin reacts even slightly badly then do not use it.

Shaving.

This is another pain free way of removing hair. It is not as long term as depilatory creams but it is more convenient and cheaper. 

The key to shaving is lubrication. Your skin needs plenty of protection and you need  a good barrier between your skin and the razor. 

When you are shaving, it is a good idea to rinse your skin with plenty of warm water. This will help to soften the hair follicles and make removing the hair much easier. 

Apply a generous amount of shaving cream to the area and rub it in to create a lather. Using a shaving mousse is a good idea because it creates much more leather than gels and creams. This will give you more protection and a closer shave.

With the first stroke of your razor you should follow the growth of the hair. Rinse the razor and then go against the growth. 

Once you have completed the area then make sure you rinse it in lukewarm water to remove any excess shaving gel or hair.

This is suitable for legs, underarms and bikini lines. It is also suitable for men’s faces but not women’s.
