FASHION;HOW TO MAKE YOUR SKIN SOFT( NAMNA YA KUIFANYA NGOZI YAKO KUWA NYORORO)

Start each day with dry brushing. Dry brushing is an ancient exfoliation technique designed to slough off dead skin and stimulate your body's circulation. Dry brushing every day immediately makes your skin look brighter, and if you keep up the routine your skin will begin to glow.

Choose a dry brush made from natural fibers, rather than plastic bristles. Natural bristles aren't as rough on your skin.
Brush your body using short, firm strokes from your outer extremities toward your heart. Brush your legs, torso and arms. Use a softer, smaller brush for your face.
Always start with dry skin and a dry brush. Brushing your skin while wet won't achieve the same effect.

Take a cool shower. Rinse off your skin with cool, not hot, water. If you cool water is too uncomfortable, try lukewarm water and gradually move to cooler water over time. Hot water is hard on your skin and causes it to dry out and toughen, while cool water tightens and tones your skin.
- When you wash your face, splash it with cool water instead of hot water.
- Save hot baths for special occasions. They're good for the soul, but not necessarily for the skin

  Don't use too much soap. Commercial body washes and scrubs, as well as many bar soaps, contain detergents that dry out your skin and leave a residue that causes it to look dull. Use a natural, oil-based soap, or forego soap and use plain water.

  Moisturize your skin. As soon as you pat yourself dry after showering, apply lotion or another healing moisturizer to your skin to seal in the moisture and protect your skin from dry air throughout the day. Try these moisturizers for shining, healthy skin:
  - Coconut oil. This sweet-smelling substance melts into your skin and gives it a beautiful glow.
  - Shea butter. This moisturizer is especially good for use on your fragile facial skin. You can also apply it to your lips.
  - Lanolin. Sheep produce lanolin to keep their wool soft and dry, and it acts as an excellent defense against cold winter air.
  - Olive oil. For those occasions when your skin needs a deep-conditioning treatment, smooth olive oil over your body and let it seep in for 10 minutes. Rinse it off with lukewarm water and pat dry.
  - Lactic acid lotion is available from drugstores. It leaves dry, scaly skin feeling pliable and soft.

  Cater to your skin type. Some people have dry, flaky skin, others have oily skin, and many have some combination of the two. Know what parts of your body need special care, and make sure your daily routine takes them into account.
  - Treat acne, whether on your face or body, with extra care. Avoid dry brushing over acne, and don't use harsh soaps or chemicals that might exacerbate it.
  - Eczema, rosacea and other issues associated with dry skin must be handled with care. Use products that don't irritate your condition further, and talk to your doctor about getting a prescription to treat your skin if necessary.
