1. You should exfoliate your skin on a regular basis, at least once a week. Set aside a Specific day of the week to do so, for example, use an exfoliating treatment in the place of Gentle Foaming Cleanser \";All skin types\";.

2. Exfoliate using gentle move never \";rub\"; or \";pull\"; your skin since this could lead to slackened skin. Remember to exfoliate the neck and décolleté as well as your hands.

3. Offer your skin the benefits of a mask once a week.

4. Do not hesitate in combining the benefits of two different facial masks at the same time: For example, Purifying Plant Facial Mask can be applied to the T-zone area which has a tendency to be oily and Revitalizing Moisture Mask to the rest of the face. .

5. To take full advantage of a mask, relax facial features and lie down with your feet slightly raised during the amount of time the mask is left on.

Face Pack

How you look depends on what you eat and drink and what you apply on your face. The ideal skincare routine is a daily procedure of cleansing, toning and moisturizing. To supplement this you must use a face pack from time to time. Face packs stimulate circulation, tone facial muscles giving the face an instant lift, and maintain the elasticity of the skin. They cleanse your pores by drawing out deep-seated impurities.

When applying a facepack:
Apply the pack with your fingertips. The skin on your face is extremely delicate.
Do not apply the pack too close to your eyes and mouth because when the pack dries and tightens on your skin it may harm these very delicate areas.
Apply cotton pads soaked in cucumber juice or tea bags soaked in iced water, on your eyes. You could also crush mint and apply around eyes. These are great for under-eye circles or to relieve stress.
Lie down as this is extremely relaxing and also prevents your skin from being stretched the wrong way.
