The first and foremost step in facial skin care is getting a facial analysis. However this phase is often disregarded by many of us.

Here is a story about my beauty conscious friend Gina. She went through a lot until she finally got it right.

To be honest Gina was a vain person. She was always wrapped up in her self and her looks. She would even spend hours in the bathroom applying facial cleansers, toners and moisturizers.

Additionally, Gina also kept her exposure to the suns UV rays to a minimum. She also consumed a healthy diet and her lifestyle excluded both alcohol and cigarettes. But surprisingly she still had poor skin.

Anyone who took such great care of their skin would predict supple and soft skin. However Ginas skin remained tight, dry and blistered.

Am I doing something wrong? Gina was perplexed. Maybe if I changed to other brand named products I would get better results

So she turned on her television and looked at the beauty ads. She wrote down the different products and brands she saw and went out to buy them.

She bought the most expensive and popular products. She believed that the higher the cost, the better a product will work on her skin.

Now can you guess what took place next? Was Gina successful?

Sad to say, but no. She still had skin care problems. Only this time she also had a collection of expensive, once-used cosmetics.

Gina was so disappointed that she was about to give up. She thought that beautiful skin was not for her.

It was at this point, however, that I stepped in. I decided to give Gina some advice.

First I enquired about her skin type. And exactly as I thought, Gina didnt know.

So I educated her about the 5 different skin types (oily, dry, normal, sensitive and combination (both dry and oily). Then I insisted that she undergo a facial analysis.

And within a matter of minutes, Gina discovered that she had sensitive skin. This also meant that her skin was being aggravated by the products she had been using.

Gina now understands how to get the most out of her sensitive skin. And shes making calculated choices when it comes to choosing products and treatments.

And her experience backs up my first announcement. That is, getting a skin analysis is the basis of skin care. Overlooking this first step can lead to failure.
