REVISE YOUR CLEANSING RITUAL to keep your skin super-smooth and so-so-soft...1. LESS IS MORE - washing your face twice a day is more than enough.
2. BE GENTLE - use a mild, creamy cleanser that maintains the normal pH balance of your skin and protects it from pollutants in the environment.
3. COVER ALL BASES - smooth your cleanser all over your face - including along the hairline and over eyebrows - otherwise dandruff and oiliness can develop.
4. DON'T SCRUB - if you do scrub your skin you can remove the cells before they’re ready - which can cause blood vessels to surface, protective oils to be stripped, and a reddening and chapping of the skin. To accelerate natural shredding process safely, apply a mild fruit-acid peel (look for alpha hydroxy and glycolic acid on the label) - or gently exfoliate every week using very smooth crystals or the velvet side of a washcloth.
5. BE COOL - rinse cleanser off with tepid – not blood-vessel-popping water hot – water. Finish with a rinse of cool- not freezing – water.
6. MOISTURISE WHEN MOIST - give your moisturiser some help by applying it soon after rinsing, while skin is still damp. If your skin feels dry soon after, you don’t necessarily need to change to a heavier moisturiser, which can clog pores. Many times, it’s simply a matter of applying more of a thin lotion or smoothing on a second layer once the moisturiser has been absorbed.
