After nutrition, comes skin care which is key in achieving glowing and a healthy skin. The best tip is knowing what type of skin you have. Dry skin - if you wash your face and after drying, if it remains dry, then u have dry skin. Normal skin- skin does not stay dry/oily just perfect. Combination skin- your skin is dry and oily at times. your t-zone area stays oily after makeup or applying lotion. T-Zone are your forehead, nose, cheeks and chin. Oily skin- your skin stays oily most of the times. Also weather and products used on your face can affect your skin. Also you can have sensitive skin - I do. You might react to products that have alcohol and herbs that might cause irritations on your skin. So stay away from any products that use alcohol. use alcohol free.
STEP 1:
CLEANSING: This is the first step. Basically just a fancy name for washing you skin. Please ladies wash/cleanse your skin at night, make sure you remove all makeup!!!

It might involve trial and error, but the best way to avoid that would be knowing your skin type, research ingredients via google on the product you wish to purchase before buying it!!
I hope I helped in your decision and if you have any questions please feel free to email or leave a comment!!
My next Discussion would be EYE CREAMS AND BODY SCRUBS/BUTTERS/LOTIONS. So keep an eye out!!!
P.S All Boots, Soap &Glory products are made in England/U.K/France - Much better quality than USA. And most of them work great!
