One to three times per week to replace either your morning or evening daily regime...
Step 1 - CLEANSE
Select a cleanser suited to your skin type. Place a small amount of cleanser into your hands and emulsify with lukewarm water. Apply to the face in a circlular motion, covering the entire face for about 30 seconds. Remove from the skin while gently scrubbing with a damp face cloth or sponge. Rinse thoroughly, alternating with warm and cold water. This action will remove dirt, pollution and impurities from the skin's surface and prepare it for the next step.
Step 2 - EXFOLIATE
It is important to exfoliate your skin at least once or twice per week to help remove dead skin cells and dirt that can dull your complexion. To exfoliate, first cleanse the skin as in Step 1, then apply the exfoliant suited to your skin type and allow it to dry for 5 - 10 minutes. Use a face cloth moistened with lukewarm water to gently scrub off the dried exfoliant masque using a circular mition while scrubbing. Rinse thoroughly with clear water and proceed to Step 3.
Step 3 - MASQUE
Find a masque suited to your skin type or to the condition that you are treating. Emulisfy a small amount of the masque in your hand with a few drops of water and apply evenly over the entire face (you may also cover the neck and decollete, if desired.) Allow the masque to dry for 5 - 10 minutes. Use a face cloth or sponge moistened with lukewarm water gently scrub off the masque using a circular motion. Rinse thoroughly with clear water and proceed to Step 4.
Step 4 - TONE
Apply one to two sprays of toner, suited to your skin type, over the entire face and leave on. Toners are important to balance the natural Ph of your skin and to infust it with natural vitamins and minerals. Your skin will feel rejuvenated with each speay and you will enjoy the aromatherapy benefits of the real fruits and herbs.
Step 5 - TREAT
Treat specific skin care concerns, such as lack of firmness, acne or rosacea, with an active serum. Although this step is optional, once you experience the clarifying and age-defying benefits of serums you will want to continue to include them in your regime. Apply the serum in a thin layer after the toner and leave on.
Step 6 - MOISTURIZE
Hydrate and soften the skin with a moisturizer suited to your skin type. Even oily skin needs a light moisutrizer to keep skin soft and supple. Apply a layer of moisturizer over the entire face and neck are and leave on.
Step 7 - EYE CARE
Using a gentle tapping motion, apply a small amount of eye cream to the contour area around the eyes, taking care not to tug the delicate skin around the eye area.
Step 8 - BODY CARE
Massage a body lotion according to skin type in a circular motion on legs, hands, arms, elbows and any part of the body that needs smoothing. Leave on.
