Smooth, clean, even-toned skin can be achieved in 6 easy steps. Find your new daily routine below!
Step 1: Open your pores
Open your pores for a deeper clean. This can be done in a hot shower, a hot washcloth or towel, or by steaming your face over a bowl of hot water with a towel over your head to trap the heat.
Step 2: Wash your face
Wet your face with warm water. Smooth a dime-sized squeeze of your facial cleanser between your palms and lather all over your face avoiding your eyes and lips.
Product recommendations: Garnier Shine Control Cleansing Gel, Cetaphil, Neutrogena Deep Clean Cream Cleanser
Step 3: Exfoliate
Scrub away dead skin and debri with a exfoliator towel, cleansing brush, or a gentle facial scrub. Rinse with cold water.
Product recommendations: Prospector Co. Gleaner’s Facial Scrub
*OR go d.i.y. style and make your own: coconut oil + sugar mix, honey + olive oil + sea salt mix
Step 4: Clean dry
You should always have a face towel, used only for, you guessed it, your face. It’s a great way to keep your face clean. Pat dry your face.
Step 5: Toner
Close your pores with a toner. Dab a few drops of toner on a cotton ball and wipe all over face in one single swipe.
Product recommendations: Apple cider vinegar (can dilute with water if it’s too harsh for your skin), Witch Hazel, Origins United State Balancing Tonic
Step 6: Moisturize
Hydrate your skin with a non-greasy moisturizer. Apply a dime size amount of your moisturizer of choice and smooth all over that handsome, clean face of yours.
Product recommendations: Aveeno Moisturizing Lotion, Cetaphil, cocoa butter + coconut oil.
