Basic facial techniques:

• Cleansing: Use a gentle, pH-balanced cleanser that is suitable for your skin type. Gently massage the cleanser into your skin using circular motions, avoiding the eye area. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

• Steam: You can use a facial steamer or simply hold your face over a bowl of steaming water for 5-10 minutes. Cover your head with a towel to trap in the steam. This will help to open up your pores and soften your skin.

• Exfoliation: Choose an exfoliant that is suitable for your skin type, and use it no more than once or twice a week. Gently massage the exfoliant into your skin using circular motions, then rinse with lukewarm water.

• Massage: Use your fingers to gently massage your skin in circular motions. Start from the center of your face and work outwards, focusing on the forehead, cheeks, and jawline. You can use a facial oil or serum to help your fingers glide over your skin.

• Mask: Choose a mask that is suitable for your skin type, and leave it on for the recommended amount of time. Rinse it off with lukewarm water, and pat your skin dry with a clean towel.

• Toning and moisturizing: Apply a toner to a cotton pad, and gently swipe it over your face to help remove any remaining dirt and balance your skin’s pH. Finish by applying a moisturizer that is suitable for your skin type. If you have oily skin, choose a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer. If you have dry skin, choose a richer, more hydrating moisturizer.
