The face is not only the mirror of your mind, but it is one of the first things that people notice about you. If the saying that the first impression lasts is true, then the impression people form when they look at your face may be one of the most important things to consider. Of course, this does not mean that you ignore the other parts of your body, but all said and done, it is face care that you should focus on the most.

However, when you search for face care products on the internet, you are likely to be confused, with so many products with so many features and benefits. You really don’t know which one would suit your skin best and which one you should avoid. Of course, the cost factor is also another important issue to consider. Not all of us can afford the expense of facial care, considering the high price of most popular brands. But do you really need to buy these expensive products to take care of your face? Here are some tips that can improve your appearance without the harmful side effects that many artificial products can cause. The best news is that to have an attractive face, the techniques are in your own hands:

• A squeaky clean face is the starting point for any facial care regimen. Choose a mild antibacterial soap and be sure to wash your face at least twice a day. This not only removes excess oil, but also harmful bacteria in the skin pores that can lead to acne breakouts.
• The next important thing to remember is that there must be a healthy blood circulation in the face. You can choose any natural oil such as those made from fruit extracts and gently massage the face. Avoid areas near the eyes and while massaging, use fingertips in circular motions.
• The facial massage should always be done with circular movements as this helps the beneficial extracts to penetrate the skin and reach the deeper layers. As soon as blood circulation improves, your face looks fresh and revitalized.
• While using face masks is a popular way to care for facial skin, it is best to choose natural or herbal ingredients to create your own face mask. It is often seen that due to the popularity of a particular type of face mask, the user ends up with rashes, skin irritation, redness, and even inflammation of the skin. If you want to avoid such mishaps and inconveniences, create your own facial mask using cucumber juice, milk, refined flour, and mashed banana peels. The kind of glow that these ingredients bring to the skin on your face is incredible.
• If your facial skin is overtly oily, apply lemon juice regularly before bathing. Then rinse it under running water. If you need to use a facial cleanser to remove dead skin, choose a brand that is the gentlest.

As it goes without saying, you may not have to invest in expensive face care creams etc. to look young and vibrant. If you take a balanced diet with lots of physical exercise, your face would look and most importantly, your face would have a natural glow.
