Skin care is the collection of practices that support skin health, improve its physical appearance and alleviate skin conditions. They may consist of proper use of emollient, prevention of too much sun exposure and intake of nutrients. Skin care includes treatment, prevention, maintenance and repair of skin. Skin includes all the visible portion of the body excluding the hair, which consists of the epidermis, the outer layer, subcutaneous fat and subcutaneous connective tissue.

Skin care includes a systematic approach to evaluate, plan and implement changes that will lead to an improvement in a person’s appearance, health and general well being. The main components of skin care include cleansing, toning, exfoliating, moisturizing, protecting and repairing. Cleansing is part of the routine which removes the dead and loose cells from the skin and keeps the pores open. Toning is the process of increasing the blood flow to the skin to increase the thickness and volume of the cells present in it.

If you want to achieve a more youthful and beautiful appearance, you may want to include the treatment of wrinkles and fine lines using anti-wrinkle cream. Before you exfoliate, you should take a good cleansing and toning routine so that your body is thoroughly cleansed and toned. It is also recommended that you do not over do it by putting on too much moisturizer. You should be able to find a moisturizer that will make your skin soft, smooth and gentle without over drying it.
