Dermatologists recommend washing the face with soap twice daily, the
body once daily - and the hands as often as necessary to keep them
sanitary. How do you know which soap is right for you? Soap used to have a
bad reputation because of the inclusion of harsh detergents, which
stripped oil from the skin. However, that is no longer the case with all
soaps anymore.

Before we discuss what skincare routine to follow, you need to know
your skin type. To do so, look at your face in a mirror in natural
daylight (i.e., outside or near a window) and observe the various areas of
your face. In general: Oily skin is shiny - especially along the T-zone
(the forehead, nose and chin areas), where oil glands are most prevalent
- and tends to break out with pimples. If you have large pores, these
may also indicate oiliness. Dry skin feels tight and dehydrated and
pores may be very fine. It may also look flaky, and has a rough, papery
texture. Normal skin has a uniform texture and tone that only occasionally
break out in spots. Combination skin has oily and dry patches: It may
be shiny/blemished along the T-zone and scaly around the cheeks.

Once you have determined your skin type, you use this information to
pay attention to your specific skincare needs.

If your skin is oily and/or acne-prone, select soaps that contain
salicylic acid -- a skin-sloughing beta hydroxy acid that keeps pores
unclogged. Similarly, choose products with the pimple-drying ingredient
benzoyl peroxide.

For dry skin, stick with gentle, super-fatted soaps, many of which
contain up to one-third moisturizers. Pure glycerin soap will also help
your skin retain moisture. However, avoid deodorant soaps, which can dry
your skin even further.

Those with sensitive skin should opt for hypoallergenic soaps, and
avoid perfumed, antibacterial and deodorant soaps, which can be irritating.
Try to use very little soap, do not scrub too hard, and make sure to
rinse well with cool water (warm or hot water can be drying).

People with normal skin have plenty of options: feed your skin with
plant-based soaps, lather up with triple-milled soaps or use a gentle face
bar soap that is non-comedogenic (won't clog pores).

Those suffering from windburned, sunburned or chapped skin can calm it
with soap rich in soothing glycerin and aloe vera. As much as possible,
avoid bars with overpowering fragrances since they can irritate the
skin further.

Even when you're partying until the wee hours of the morning or pulling
overtime at the office, it's essential to cleanse your face thoroughly
before you hit the sack. Ideally, you should wash your face twice a
day, put on toner, and moisturize immediately after cleansing your face.
By removing makeup and daily grime from your face daily, you can avoid
clogged pores and breakouts. However, we don't live in a perfect world
and there will be times when you just want to slip into your bed and
forget about your beauty ritual.

When you're too tired or there isn't that much time to conduct your
full facial regimen, you can save time and effort by using a multipurpose
cleanser that'll strip away dirt, oil, and even hard-to-remove makeup
like waterproof mascara all at once. You can also try using disposable
cloths that you simply moisten (to activate the built-in cleanser) and
smooth over your face to lift away the day's dirt.

There are plenty of ways to protect and beautify your face, and
establishing a regular beauty regimen is one of them. Start one today and your
skin will thank you for it.
