• Use gentle action when washing your face. Facial skin is quite thin and sensitive, so you should not scrub vigorously, just use your fingertips to gently massage in circular motions.
• Wash your face thoroughly, remember not to leave any foam on the skin.
• Use a clean cotton towel to pat dry your face. Don't scrub your skin as you dry it to avoid irritation that causes redness and flaking.
• Warm water will help open pores and push dirt and bacteria out of your skin, but avoid using water that is too hot to avoid drying out your skin.

Apply an alcohol-free toner. Many people ignore toners, but this is an important step in the skin care routine. The purpose of toner is to cleanse any dead skin cells, makeup or bacteria that the cleanser might miss.

• Try to avoid toners with an alcohol base, as these often dry out the skin.
• Squeeze some toner into a cotton ball and gently wipe over your face. Don't scrub, just wipe the toner off your face to wet your skin.
• Notice what comes off after applying the toner. Usually you will see some foundation left over on the cotton ball after applying toner. This is proof that the cleanser did not wash off all makeup before.

Exfoliate the skin. Once or twice a week, you should exfoliate the dead cells that can build up on your skin. If your skin is red and bleeding, you are exfoliating too much. On the contrary, if your skin looks dull and not smooth then you may need to exfoliate more often.

• You can exfoliate by washing your face with a towel. Instead of using your fingers, use a towel to gently massage your skin in circular motions. Be sure to wash the washcloth thoroughly after each exfoliation to prevent bacteria from spreading to your face the next time you wash your face with a towel.
• You can also use a store-bought scrub. This product is a facial cleanser with exfoliating ingredients. You can also make your own scrub using ingredients like sugar and olive oil.

Apply moisturizer to skin. Most people think it is advisable to massage moisturizer into the skin, but with facial skin this is not the case. The best way to apply moisturizer is to gently press it against the skin with your fingertips. This way, you will avoid over-applying, leading to pimples and / or oily skin.

• The push-on-skin motion also stimulates blood circulation to the skin's surface, helping to brighten the skin.

Let the moisturizer soak into your skin. Before moving on to the next step in your skincare routine, you need to let the moisturizer soak into your skin. Wait at least 5 minutes for the skin to readily accept the primer.

• In the meantime, you can do other things, such as choosing an outfit for the day. In the morning, you can make a cup of tea or coffee to drink while wearing makeup.

Part 3 of 3: Apply primer

1. 

   
   
   Try spraying rose water on your face. This step is not required, but many makeup experts believe that a little bit of rose water misting the skin is the secret to the radiant skin everyone wants. If you are interested in using this product, you can pour rose water into a spray bottle, turn it over to a nebulizer and spray on your face. Wait for it to dry before moving on to the next step. Some experts also recommend spraying rose water on your face when you have finished makeup, so it will have plenty of time to dry.
   • Remember to close your eyes when spraying mist on your face.
   • Look for an all-natural rose water that is free of added chemicals.

   

   Take care of your lips by exfoliating and moisturizing them. Before applying lipstick, you need to take care of your lips to make it smoother and more evenly applied, in addition to helping the lipstick last longer.
   • Exfoliate your lips with a clean, damp washcloth. Gently massage your lips to remove dead skin that makes the lipstick look uneven. If you have sensitive skin, you should exfoliate at night, before bed, instead of just before applying makeup.
   • Apply lip balm lip balm. Before applying lipstick, make sure your lips are properly moisturized to help the color stick to your lips. Use your favorite moisturizer and smooth it over your lips. Wait 10 minutes to give the moisturizer enough time to seep into your lips.
   • If you don't have a lot of time, you can apply a moisturizer before applying any other makeup. By the time your makeup is done, your lips are ready to apply.

2. 

   Dab foundation all over face. You can dab the liner all over your face or just dab on blemishes. If you only want to apply on a few points, you should use a light dot concealer. If you want to apply a primer on your entire face, squeeze a little bit of cream onto your fingers and dab all over your face, then massage your fingertips gently into the skin.
   • If you do not want to apply foundation, just applying a primer is enough to have smooth skin all day.

3. 

   Make up as usual. With the right skin care, now you can wear makeup as you normally would. Remember that the more you take good care of your skin first, the better and longer your makeup will be.
   • If you take care of your skin regularly, your skin will always be radiant even without makeup, meaning you won't have to wear much makeup.

Advice

• Remember that less makeup is usually better. You can wear darker makeup on the street at night, but everyday makeup should be light and natural.

Warning

• Don't underestimate the importance of moisturizers with sunscreens. Over time the sun damages the skin, leading to the formation of fine lines and wrinkles, or even skin cancer. Even on cloudy days, your skin can still be affected by UV rays from the sun.
