There are many harmful air pollutants in urban areas, which can actually irritate the skin. So, proper cleansing, according to skin type is very important. Apply sunscreen before going out in the sun to protect the skin. For dry and dehydrated skin, use a sunblock cream, while for oily skin, use a sunscreen gel. Moisture is most important for the skin. Moisturizers are available in both liquid and cream forms. For normal to dry skin, a moisturizing cream or lotion would suit. For normal to oily skin, apply non-oily products, like a matte moisturizer. There are certain areas of the face that also need special care. The skin care methods for these areas are the same for all skin types.
Eyes: Apply an outer-eye cream around the eyes and wipe it off after 10 minutes, with moist cotton wool. Do not massage the skin around the eyes, as the skin can get pulled or stretched. The skin around the eyes is very delicate and should be treated very gently.
Lips: The skin on the lips is also very thin and lacks oil glands. That is why it can become dry and chaps easily. Remove lipstick from the lips every night, using a cleansing gel. After cleansing, apply an almond cream on the lips and leave it on all night.
