# For oily skinAs discussed the 1st step involves cleansing. The oily skin should be cleansed with deep cleansing gels and lotions. This removes excess oil and dirt from the pores. Scrub for oily skin can be a tough one as it exfoliates the skin and smoothen the unevenness of skin. Massaging cream can be mild. And while using a mask use clay and powder mask this dries the oil. Steaming and peeling treatment can also be taken by people with dry skin. For oily skin you can go for milk, citric fruit (orange, lemon, and strawberry) based facial creams.
# For dry skinMild cleansers can be used because the dry skin does not require vigorous cleansing as it further dries the skin. Very gentle scrubs are used to remove dry flaky skin. Remember to stay away from harsh scrubbing. Use hydrating gels, serums and intense moisturizing creams for dry skin. Massage well. This is the prime facial trick for dry skin. Use moisturizing masks. Avoid dry and powdered masks. A Mosturisig mask allows the moisture to retain. For dry skin always take care that a facial nourishes the skin. Therefore you can use water based, oxygen, moisturizing, fruity, cream and oil based facial.
# Normal skin facialsFor a normal skin you can opt for mild to intense cleansing creams. Scrub with mild scrub and when it comes to choose a massage cream go for mild to intense deep moisturizing creams and gels. For a facial mask use moisturizing mask. Normal skin has no many problems thus it’s easy to decide a facial cream. Any fruit and honey or cream based facial is good for normal skin. Gold facials can also be tried when one wishes to get the glow for an important occasion.
