Cleansing your skin: This is the first and most important step in skin care. Removing dirt, oil
and makeup allows your skin to breath, recover and renew.
The best method to cleanse the face is gentle circular motions with
light finger pressure.. being very careful around the eye area.
For the body, circular motions with your hand or scrubbie sponge.
This applies whether you use soap, creams or scrubs.
When done, rinse extremely well with cool water. Remember, Hot
water opens and irritates the pores. Coolwater closes and calms the pores.
Toning your skin:
Toner is for the face and after bath splashes are for the body.
Toning is a very refreshing step in skin care. A toner is designed to remove
any left over dirt and grime. It also balances skins ph, minimizes pores
and cools and soothes your skin.
Apply toner to the face with a cotton pad, wiping the skin lightly and
avoiding the eye area.
Apply toner to body with cotton pads, spray bottle or with the hands.
Let skin dry completely before putting on a moisturizer.
Moisturizing the skin: This is the final step in regular skin care. A good moisturizer will
drench and hydrate the skin. This will help plump out fine lines and
wrinkles while preventing new lines from forming. A good moisturizer
will also leave a barrier on the skin to keep in moisture and lock out
the damaging effects of makeup, wind, heat and cold. Apply a light
layer of lotion to skin. Let it dry completely before applying makeup.
(It is best to use only un-scented products on the face)
