Clean Skin Routine

• At night, cleanse then exfoliate. Remember not to be too harsh when you exfoliate.

Skin Tips: If your skin is oily, try not to wash your face too often. You should only cleanse 2-3 times a day with a gentle cleanser. Washing until your face is tight and dry triggers your oil glands to produce more oil, thus making your face oilier and prone to break outs. When you wash your face, use warm, not cold water. warm water helps dissolve oil and dirt. But if the water is very hot, be careful! It can break the tiny veins in your skin.

Wash before you exercise. Your sweat acts as your skin extra cleanser. If your skin is clogged with make up, powder, or foundation, your sweat don't be able to cleanse efficiently. When you sweat don't wipe your face with your hands or your arm, use a clean towel.

Steam Clean: Prepare for a big bowl of hot (not boiling) water. For combination skin mint and lemon peel are a successful combination. Cover your head with a towel and make a tent of it as you lean over the bowl. trapping the steam. enjoy the feeling for 5 minutes then pat dry then exfoliate. Our skin constantly change. It undergoes a cycle of 28-40 days, then our skin is renewed again. Exfoliants are good for removing the daed skin on your face.

To remove excess oil without clogging your pores with powder, try usinga control film. It doesn't remove moisture, and you can actually get a kick out of seeing how much oil you had on your face.
