JAKARTA - If you want to have perfect facial skin, you must clean your face as the first step to do. The reason is, dirt, oil, and dead skin can clog the pores if the facial skin is not cleaned properly.

For those of you who are used to using makeup, the double cleansing technique is a must so that the makeup residue can be lifted perfectly. Use an oil-based facial cleanser, then finish with a liquid-based soap.

Next, what else to do? Check out the next steps below.

Toning

Toning is the process of using toner. This stage is very important to do after you finish cleaning your face. There are two types of toner, namely exfoliating toner which helps remove dead skin cells, and hydrating toner which functions to hydrate the skin and maintain the skin's natural pH.

Moisturizing

Many people think that moisturizing or moisturizing is only needed by owners of dry and normal skin. In fact, even oily skin types still need moisture to avoid skin problems such as acne.

It's just that the texture of the moisturizer used by owners of dry and oily skin tends to be different. Oily skin should choose a gel-textured moisturizer that absorbs quickly. While dry skin can choose a moisturizer cream that provides longer moisture.

Protecting

After using moisturizer, don't forget to use a protective face cream such as sunscreen. Without sunscreen protection, the skin will look duller and show signs of aging. Choose a sunscreen with a minimum of SPF 30 and PA+++ for maximum protection during the day.
