The Art of Moisturizing

Moisturizing is the most important step in skin care, but if you don’t do it properly you could stress out your skin and do more harm than good. Follow these guidelines to get the most out of your moisturizing routine.

• Make sure you have the right amount of moisturizer in your (clean) hands. One or two pea-sized dollops should do the trick.
  
• Dab some on your cheeks, moving your fingers in a circular motion. Massage it slowly upwards and outwards.
• Apply moisturizer to the middle of your forehead and massage outwards.
• Apply below the eyes and massage in a circular motion.
• Apply below the lower lip and move down till you reach below the chin and move further downwards to your neck.
• Wait at least one minute to let the moisturizer soak deeply into your skin.
• Wash it off with lukewarm water and pat dry with a soft towel.
