In order to regularly care for and maintain good and healthy skin on your face, you can treat yourself to regular facials. This will help to cleanse your skin deeply; it will help to tone your skin and will also moisturize your skin. It is an excellent way to pamper your skin as well, since it also involves a long and brisk massage.


You can use various products at home to take care of your skin. To begin with, we will talk about cleansers. Whole milk is usually the best cleanser for all skin types.


However, if you have particularly oily skin, you would be better off using buttermilk. This is an excellent product that will cleanse your skin very well. All you have to do is dip a ball of cotton wool in it and rub your face in circular motions for a good 10 minutes. This will have the effect of cleansing your skin very well. After this, you should use a facial scrub to exfoliate your skin. You can use any scrub off the shelf for this purpose, or make your own by mixing crystalline sugar with enough olive oil to make a spreadable paste. This can be used very effectively for dry skin. For oily skin, you can use coarsely ground walnuts and add them to fresh and unflavored yogurt. Another scrub that can be made for excessively oily skin is made with dried and coarsely powdered orange peels mixed in fresh and unflavored yogurt.

For a massage, you can use any deep moisturizing cream. If you wish to use a natural product, you can use extra virgin olive oil for a good massage. This is an excellent nutrition providing substance and can be used effectively for maintaining excellent and well nourished skin. You can also use white unsalted butter if your skin is particularly dry. The next step would be to steam your face. After a steam, it is a good idea to apply ice to your skin. This way, you will be able to seal in the good effects of the oil. The next step is to apply a face pack. You can apply a simple face pack made with sandalwood powder and rose water fro all skin types. This will lend a beautiful glow to your skin. You can also use a face pack made with fruit pulp containing papaya and pineapple. This is particularly good for mature skin.
