STEP 2


A daily regimen works best to keep your skin healthy and young always. These are known to be simple procedures that would help you make it silky smooth and glowing.

  1. Make it a habit to clean the skin twice daily using mild soap and water and along with a mild toner. Mary Kay Classic Basic Skin Care Collection or Timewise Cleansers work best for this.
  2. Moisturizer could be applied to the face every night before sleep to balance the moisture content in the skin. Preferably Mary Kay moisturizers or even night creams, like Mary Kay Night Solution, are chosen.
  3. Cleansing is said to be very important for every skin type and for this mild cleanser could be opted for. This keeps the pores tight and an astringent could be used to remove any traces of cleanser present on the skin. While using astringent make sure that these are alcohol free or having low astringent content. Mary Kay’s skin fresheners and toners are specially made for this.
  4. While using hair dryers always make sure to keep the face away from the heat.
  5. For retaining surface moisture, mild, oil-based moisturizer under makeup is preferred. Mary Kay offers a variety of products for this. Check out the Balancing Moisturizer 2 (Normal/Combination).
  6. Sunscreen is very important these days as it prevents any effects of drying and aging.
  7. A nondrying mask could be always used to stimulate the blood circulation and also to maintain the smoothness of the surface of the skin. Mary Kay Timewise Microdermabrasion Set is a great addition to your skin care products. This procedure could be adopted at least once in every two weeks.

 

STEP 3


Applying make up on this type of skin lasts long and also looks smooth. The most important thing to be cared for is the premature ageing experienced under the eyes. This is because there is lack of moisture in this area due to the absence of the sebaceous activity.

  1. Facial massaging is said to be the topmost choice. It provides various advantages like toning and tightening the muscles of the face. The circulation is also improved with the use of natural skincare blends. It keeps your skin healthy, nourished and even young.
  2. Drink plenty of water along with eating fruits and vegetables. Other important things needed are exercise and fresh air.
  3. Applying sunscreen would protect a lot from the harmful effects of the sun. This would also prevent premature ageing. Try a moisturizer with built in SPF protection like TimeWise Age-Fighting Moisturizer Sunscreen SPF 15.
