Normal skin is an abnormal thing. Your skin will be oilier during your youthful days and as you grow older it will get drier. It is usually trouble-free and needs simple care to keep it healthy and glowing. If you are one of those rare and lucky people to have normal skin take good care of it.

    The proactive skin care system works well for all skin types as does the new Clean and clear System. The good part about the clean and clear is you can get it over the counter almost any where like wal-mart, target.

    Cleanse. Choose a facial cleanser without "beads" or "scrubbers." Either a foaming or non-foaming cleanser may be used, but note that non-foaming is generally less drying. If you tend to break out, choose a cleanser with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide acne medications. If your skin feels super-tight or "stripped" after use, select another product. Use as directed. Remember to be gentle when using.
    Tone. Choose an alcohol-free, unmedicated toner, tonic, or astringent. Use as directed. If toning dries out your skin or causes irritation, skip this step.
    Moisturize/Treat. Choose a lightweight lotion with an SPF of at least 15 for sun protection. Use as directed. If you have acne, choose a treatment containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid acne medications. Use as directed. If using both a moisturizer and an acne treatment, apply the treatment, let dry, then apply the moisturizer.
    Exfoliate. Choose a mild exfoliating peel or scrub to de-flake the skin. Use as directed. If this causes irritation, discontinue use.
    Mask. Choose a mask suited to your specific needs. Moisturizing, deep cleansing, acne-fighting, exfoliating, and soothing masks are all options. Use as directed.
    Use oil blotting sheets during the day to cleanse skin and combat shine without removing makeup.
    Keep makeup to a minimum. It can exacerbate skin problems. If you wear makeup, choose hypoallergenic (doesn't cause reactions), noncomedogenic (doesn't clog pores), oil-free, and fragrance-free products.
    Remember to drink plenty of water, take multivitamins, and eat colorful foods for skin-healthy antioxidants!

    The key to a natural, breezy beauty lies in the care of your complexion, not the makeup you put on top of it. Every night you should follow the same basic skin care regimen. Steam your pores open with a hot washcloth, and then apply a glycerin based cleanser (they’re easier on the skin). Use an alcohol-free toner. I prefer astringents with natural Witch Hazel, to remove residue, tighten pores and re balance the skin. And don’t forget to moisturize! Performed routinely, these skin care fundamentals will lead you to a fresh, dewy, blemish-free complexion.

    Mix mashed banana with yogurt, apply on face for 10-15 minutes, rinse with warm water. Splash the face with water, wait until it dries.

Pore shrinking mask recipes from home

A face with large open pores when seen from close quarters doesn’t look so good. While it’s quite common for oily skins to have a tendency towards open pores, an attack of pimples also leaves ugly scars and open pores behind.  Even though the scars may fade away after some time, open pores appear to be more obstinate and hardly show any signs of shrinking.  Age also takes its toll by giving an uneven/pigmented tone to the skin and making the open pores more prominent. Heredity could also be a contributing factor in determining your pore size. It’s not easy to get rid of these pores or shrink them completely or permanently using serums, lotions or face packs. Even resorting to drastic chemical/surgical procedures at the dermatologist’s isn’t quite capable of giving satisfactory results.  Nevertheless, you can try and minimize their appearance at least temporarily with clever makeup and a few natural skin care masks such as these: * Cleanse your face with a mild ...
