A lot of us are willing to spend hundreds of dollars just to have a beautiful skin. We even go an extra mile in getting the best skin care treatments so that we can look good like the celebrities. But don’t you know it would be wiser to do the basic skin care regimens without spending? I bet you prefer this as this is more economical and has a longer effect.
Basic skin care regimens that you can do:
Drinking eight glasses of water
The best way to keep your skin nourished is to drink water. This is because or body is made of 70% of water. If we get dehydrated, chances are, our skin gets dry too and we get dandruff as well.

Taking a bath everyday

Proper skin cleansing
If you use make-up or you are exposed to smog, dust or any other pollution, it is best that you cleanse your face before sleeping. Use lukewarm water and mild cleanser to unclog the pores that may build up the formation of blackheads, whiteheads and other forms of acne and skin allergies. Also, avoid touching your face since your hand has a lot of bacteria that may cause infections.
Moisturize
