Beauty - A state of mind

Compiled by Latifah Abdul Rashid

Beauty comes from within, a feeling of well-being; a zest for life, feeling and looking good coupled with the contributing factors of good bone structure, skincare, make-up and beauty aids.
A part from actual bone structure, your face is made up of muscles, fats, and fluids. You cannot stop skin from losing elasticity. It is a natural part of the age in process and although you cannot stop it, you can slow it down by regular cleansing and protection with good skincare.
According Basic Beauty Book, Your Guide To Skincare, no one's skin a 100% clean from one moment to the next. Therefore, regular cleansing and protection is very important to healthy looking skin. We need to remove approximately 5 types of dirt from our skin :
1. Perspiration
2. Excess oil from the sebaceous glands.
3. Dust
4. Dead Cells
5. Make-up

We have to protect our skin everyday from weather changes - hot, cold, dry and air-conditioning by using the right product regularly, morning and night to give your skin the care it needs.
This, is what good skincare is all about. As different types of skin vary with different age group; we need different products to help us look our best.
Different type of skin vary with different age group
20 - 30 years : Normal, dry, oily/problem.
40 - 50 years : Normal, dry, oily
60 and above : Very dry.
A good skincare programme not only makes the skin fell good, it also improves texture and clarity.
