A gentle daily cleanser combined with our Facial Mit will help to remove makeup dirt and impurities without stripping your skin is essential, and the first step in any good skin care routine!
Be sure to always rinse with lukewarm water and gently pat your skin dry with a clean, fluffy towel.
Scrub up
If you haven’t exfoliated in a while then you may want to include this step this time around.
Exfoliation helps to remove dead skin build-up to reveal radiant new skin underneath. If you apply your oil to skin in need of a good scrub, the oil will simply cling to the old skin cells on the surface of the skin, without being able to penetrate and provide those results you are after.
