When it comes to basic skin care, there are tried-and-true ways to take care of your skin. Your skin could look much younger than it does.Before we start, you'll need to know your skin type. How you care for your skin is totally dependent on the type of skin you have: oily, normal/combination, dry, sensitive or sun- damaged. Choose a creamy cleanser if you have dry skin or a clear cleanser if you have oily skin.

Use warm water to loosen dirt and clogged pores,wash with a bit of cleanser, then rinse it off with cool or lukewarm water. You'll also want to take off your makeup with a proper makeup remover.

In the morning, a splash of lukewarm water is all you need (it's great for removing excess oils from your nightly moisturizing). Try not to wash your face with hot or cold water (both can cause broken capillaries). Also be careful about overcleansing your skin,to avoid excess oil and break outs.
