Because of larger pores, skin gets dirtier easily and hence it is very important to clean the face 3-4 times a day. Deep cleansing with a good face wash is advisable as it keeps the pores clear and skin healthy. While selecting the face wash or soap, opt for chemical free or herbal products which are safe to use.
- Scrubbing: Travelling out, pollution, sun tan, all these can give your face a dull look. Scrubbing once a week can help you get off this dull look by removing dead cells on your skin and can give you a fresh look. Be gentle while scrubbing and make it a weekend ritual for healthy skin.
- Moisturizing: Moisturizing skin daily is not only important for women but also men. It is advisable to use a light moisturizer on your face and neck after cleansing and shaving each time. Along with moisturizing, men should also adapt the habit of using sun block to protect from suntan.
