The importances of cleansing, toning and moisturzing

The importance of skincare, and having and maintaining a good skincare routine is quite common around the globe today, thanks to the awareness and much needed innovative skincare products in the market. Good skin care is not a result of an overnight miracle. To see the result you desire, you need to work on it daily. Even as simple as getting rid of your makeup every night plays a vital role to show off your clear complexion, spots, and acne-free skin. The base or foundation that is left on all night dries out the skin and clogs the pores. Leaving the mascara on all night also dries your eyelashes, which results in breaking. 

The CTM routine – Cleansing, Toning and Moisturizing is by far the easiest and most essential skincare routine you will have. Spare 20 minutes from your busy schedule for your skin, 10 minutes in the morning once you’re up, and 10 minutes before going to sleep at night. Before we get into the 3 step process, here are few things you should keep in mind. Every time you are following your skincare routine, make sure you can see your face, and have your hair tied back up. Always begin by removing your make-up with a make-up remover.

Start with your eyes and be gentle on your skin. If possible, try using waterproof mascara. Moisten a cotton ball with the make-up remover and leave it to soften the mascara, so it removes easily. After you have removed your eye makeup, take another pass with a dry cotton pad to ensure you get off any left-over product or excess makeup remover. For your lips, use an oil-based makeup remover to remove long-wearing lipstick. Avoid the use of baby wipes to remove your makeup.  Now don’t just stop at make-up removal.

Now coming to the CTM routine, here’s how you can follow it:

Cleansing

We shed roughly 600,000 particles of skin every hour – that’s roughly 1.5 pounds of skin a year! This also means at the end of every day, your face is filled with layers of dead skin care cells, which if not cleaned properly, can cause unwanted spots and breakouts. It is essential to cleanse the skin to keep it away from dirt, pollution, and the disadvantages caused by makeup like blocked pores and breakouts. 

How to cleanse: Use a good face wash with a deep cleaning function that suits your skin type. Use lukewarm water to lather up the cleanser. Gently apply it over your face concentrating on all the areas of make-up application and, spend at least 60 seconds going over your face. Don’t forget your neck and do not wash your face rigorously or as frequently as this may wash away the natural oils from the skin and make it dry.

Toning

Rinse your face to get rid of the cleanser and gently pat your face dry with a towel. Then move to the 2nd step in the CTM routine, which most of us tend to skip, also known as toning. It helps get rid of any remains of dirt despite cleansing. It deep cleanses the skin and eliminates dead skin care cells that may lead to unwanted breakouts, reduce the size of the pores, and provides hydration.

You will be surprised to see how much more dirt will be removed with a cotton swab and toner! Toning is important for your daily skincare routine, because toners also lower the skin’s pH level, calms the skin, and helps prepare it for any moisturisers or serums that will follow. Here, toning again aids in the development of a layer of healthy skin care cells by tightening the skin that also helps to stabilise the skin’s natural PH balance.

How to tone: Ensure that you always opt for an alcohol-free toner or use rose water as it works as the best toner for any skin type. Soak cotton pads in your toner and sweep across your face and neck with upward and outward movements.

Moisturizing

Finally, the last step of the CTM routine! Our skin is the body’s largest organ and calls for regular attention to stay young, blemish-free, and healthy. Cleansing and toning open the pores of the skin leaving it bare. The skin loses its moisture hence, it’s very important to moisturize. During this step, do not forget your lips. Daily moisturizing can reduce the chance of developing extreme dryness or oiliness. Both extremes are harmful to the skin and cause common skin conditions like acne. A well-moisturized skin will feel soft, smooth, radiant and prevent aging skin. It is a must to moisturize daily as it will help enhance the texture of the skin care. 

How to moisturize: Do not apply too much moisturizer or it may lead to clogged pores and produce blackheads. A light moisturizer acts as a bridge between makeup and skin, thus maintaining the elasticity of the skin. Take grape-sized or dime-sized quantities for your face and it will do its job.

Now that you know how the CTM routine works, we’re sure you’re going to give your skin the attention it deserves by taking out time for it.
