Your mother always told you to wash your hands, but did she show you how to wash your face? The fountain of youth is not in a bottle, it's in proper skin care. "Nobody can stop aging, but you could slow it down," says Keiko Aochi, head esthetician at Zehava School of Esthetics and Massage in Toronto. Aochi says that proper cleansing, hydrating and nourishing is essential for maintaining healthy and younger-looking skin. "You have to normalize the skin," she says. Oily skin and dry skin need to be balanced. There are various ways of doing this. Depending on the type of skin, there are different masks that can be used to either tone the skin or give it a bit more hydration. Weather is also an important factor in keeping your skin balanced. "As seasons change, so does your skin," says Aochi. She explains that in the winter skin is drier and dehydrated, whereas, in the summer oil glands are more active. More and richer products like creams should be used in the winter and less and lighter products like lotion in the summer. "It's like in the summer, you wear less clothes," says Aochi. Trish Buchanan, is an esthetician at The Beauty Institute in Toronto. She agrees that cleansing, toning and moisturizing the skin is important to proper skin care. She also suggests avoiding alcohol-based products for those with dry skin because it further dehydrates skin. Other recommendations are: Both Buchanan and Aochi recommend a facial about every six weeks to clean the skin more intensely. Aochi also suggests visiting an esthetician to get a more personal profile of your skin and how to maintain a healthy look.
