No.2 Exfoliate

Exfoliating helps remove dead skin cells, leaving your face looking bright and fresh. It also helps moisturizers penetrate the surface of the skin.

• The best time is in the morning
• Only exfoliate once or twice a week (less if your skin is dry or sensitive)
• You can buy exfoliating scrubs or make your own
• Wet face with warm (not hot) water
• Rub the product on your face in a circular motion for 30 seconds
• Rinse with lukewarm water
• Do not use products with large or sharp granules
• Do not exfoliate too often (this can remove your skin’s natural protection and cause redness and irritation)

No.3 Moisturize

Moisturizing products help the skin retain moisture, feel smoother and look healthier they can also prevent future lines and wrinkles.

• Use twice daily, morning and evening
• Apply while your face is damp or wet
• Using a light, even pressure, move in upward strokes from the neck to the forehead
• Even acne-prone skin needs moisturizers, but make sure they are oil-free
• Choose a product appropriate for your skin type (creamier products for dry skin: lighter products for oily skin)
• Do not pull at the skin (especially around the eyes)
