We all want our skin to look radiant and beautiful, but in order to achieve this we will have to practice a proper skin care routine. This does not mean that you have to spend a lot of cash making weekly trips to the beauty parlor for a facial, or even purchasing expensive beauty products to get the lasting effect that you want. There are simple and inexpensive beauty routines that you can practice that will have you looking and feeling like a million bucks, and best of all they can be done in the comfort and privacy of your own home some of these treatments can even be made at home from regular household items.

There are so many different types of beauty products for various types of skin, so it is important that you choose the beauty product that's designed for you particular skin type. Making the wrong choice can do more harm than good to your skin. Ok so you've been warned you need to be careful, makes me feel better. The three major steps in a good beauty regimen are Cleansing, Toning and Moisturizing. A daily beauty routine should be done at least twice a day, early in the morning and just before you retire to bed at night.

Now as you might be aware some beauty products can be pretty expensive, but that does not mean that they are going to work the best, there are lots of inexpensive brands that work just as well. When looking for those cleansers, toners and moisturizers make sure to check out as many brands as you can, read the labels to compare what ingredients they are made of and also be sure and compare prices. For example there are dozens of topical acne medicines out there that contain salicylic acid and lots of them all contain the same amount but their prices probably don't match so shop around a bit.

Choose products that are made from natural ingredients rather than those that contain harsh chemicals as these can do your skin more harm that good. Also if you buy one product that says it exfoliates don't buy another thing that works as an exfoliant as well for example something with sea salt and something with peach pits would be a bad combination as exfoliating too often can irritate your skin.

Begin your daily beauty regimen by cleansing your face, to remove all the dirt, grime and makeup. Wash your face with warm water, gently apply cleanser to your entire face using circular motions, rinse off with warm water and pat dry with a towel when done.

Toning your face makes it feel smoother and younger looking. The toner not only removes any excessive oil and makeup residue but it makes the skin firmer, which gives it that smooth even tone. The same procedure for cleansing should be used when applying toner to the skin.

Moisturizers do exactly what the name implies. It puts back moisture to the skin after all that cleansing and toning routine, making it look soft and younger looking. Simply dab a bit of moisturizing lotion on your palm rub it in and massage gently onto your face and you are done.
