How to Keep Your Skin Soft, Smooth and Supple - By: Nick Mutt

A soft, smooth and supple skin can take your confidence to that height you were dreaming for. A natural glow on your skin comes with proper care of your skin. Skin products available in the market take away the natural oil from your skin and make it dull and dry.

A moisturizing will protect your skin from moisture loss, helping to keep it soft, smooth and supple. It will also protect your skin from the penetration of grime, chemicals and bacteria. We all need moisturizers, even those of us with the most oily skin, but obviously it’s important to choose the correct one for your skin type.

Apply moisturizer to your skin while it is still slightly damp from balancing. This enhances the moisturizing effect. Spread it gently, first on to your neck then up on to your face being careful not to drag the skin – particularly around the delicate eye area.

Make sure you use moisturizer with vegetable oil base. Mineral oil is not compatible with skin so baby lotion and petroleum jelly products are therefore best avoided.

Try any of the following to turn your day or night cream into beneficial aromatherapy treatment.

The ratio is two drops of aromatherapy oil to 4 fl oz (100 ml) of cream either used singly or in combination.

Night cream: Lavender, rose, neroli.

Oily skin
