How To Indentify Your Skin Type

Summer Skin Care

Dry skin is susceptible to the weather and is prone to wrinkles. Defend it against wind, sun and water. Dry skin must not be washed with cold water and soap, nor should astringent creams be used. As an alternative, after cleaning it at night, before bed-time, it is better to use a good freshener which might give it some freshness. The freshener should be non-alcoholic, since alcohol dries the skin. Moisturizer should be spread gradually on the face by giving outward motion either with cotton or fingers. Use moisturizer on your neck and other parts, which are uncovered. Diet, rich with vitamins A, B, C, D must be taken.
