HEALTHY SKIN

A good daily skin care regimen calls for four basic steps: Cleansing, Exfoliating, Toning and Moisturizing. Skin toners are necessary for all skin types.
For Normal Skin,
chop up a small sized fresh cucumber and liquidize it with half a cup of yoghurt.Apply the mixture for 5-10 minutes, and wash it off.
For Oily Skin whisk one egg white until it thickens, then whisk in 1 tsp of honey. Finally add 1 tsp of lemon juice.Apply to your face and neck avoiding the delicate eye and lip areas.
The easiest way of applying a toner is to put it on a cotton pad and wipe face in outward and upward strokes.
Toners not only cleanse the skin further and help in removing any remnants of particles that you may have left behind but also cools, nourishes, hydrates and freshens up your skin.
It tightens up skin and close up any skin pores that may have opened up while deep cleansing the face.
Toners must be alcohol-free as alcohol dries off skin. You can also make a natural skin toner at home.
Tomato juice is a good skin toner.
Cucumber toner is a refreshing toner for normal skins.
Chop up a small sized fresh cucumber and liquidize it with half a cup of yoghurt. Apply the mixture for 5-10 minutes, and wash it off. Rose is an excellent skin toner. Vitamin E oil and wheat oil are very effective for dry skin.
