When people talk about skin care, ‘facial skin care’ seems to be the main topic. There are many facial skin care products available in the market. The most common facial skin care products are the ones that are used as part of our daily routine which includes cleansers and moisturizers. Toners and exfoliation ones are well known facial skin care products too but is not as popular.

The general classification of facial skin care products is based on the following:

1. Yogurt & Honey
By mixing honey with yogurt you can get a facial mask that not only moisturizes your skin but also makes it smoother. Rinse with cool water after 20-30 minutes. Also it can add a pinkish blush to your skin.

2. Smashed Strawberries
Smashed strawberries are highly recommended for oily skin, as it helps in reducing the amount of oil it produces. It also supplies some minerals and vitamins to the skin.

Many people have become more aware of the dangers of sun exposure. So the big question many ask, do all suntan lotions contain sunscreen?

The answer is No! Many tanning lotions, creams and oils are designed to promote tanning and thus do not provide protection from the allmighty sun.

Skin care is not a topic of recent times; it has been in practice since ancient times, when herbal skin care was probably the only way to take care of skin. However, skin care has transformed in a big way. Herbal skin care routines have been replaced by synthetic/chemical-based skin care routines. The herbal skin care recipes which once used to be common place are not so popular today (and even unknown to a large population). This transformation from herbal skin care to synthetic, can probably be attributed to two things – our laziness (or just the fast pace of lives) and the commercialisation of skin care.

Dry skin cannot be ignored. Dry skin leads to cracking of the upper layer of skin and gives it a real bad appearance. The main causes of dry skin include: dry climate, hormonal changes, too much exfoliation and treatment of other skin disorders. Moreover, dryness could be the inherent nature of one’s skin. Whatever be the cause, ‘dry skin care’ is very important (but not very difficult).
