1. Wash your hands! We carry billions of germs around. Without washing our hands first, we transfer those germs directly to our skin.

2. Double Cleanse! Pump 3 pumps of your gentle cleanser into your palm, add a little water, rub hands together just a tiny bit to distribute, and then apply to the face using gentle circular motions for 60-90 seconds. Be thorough and wash up to the hairline. Do this twice! The first cleanse is to dissolve your makeup. The second cleanse will remove dirt, grim, oil and germs!

Pro Tip: If it's the time in the week that you're using an exfoliating scrub like my Smoothing Scrub, wash your face with your regular cleanser first, rinse without drying off, and then use your scrub with gentle circular motions for 60-90 seconds. If you're experiencing inflamed breakouts, scrub is very much a no-no!

3. Rinse with warm water! Never use very hot or very cold water! Hot water is extremely dehydrating. If it’s too cold it will tighten up and trap debris inside.

4. Pat your face dry! And follow immediately with your toner. Apply toner no longer than 90 seconds after cleansing. Then, do the rest of your skincare routine.

Viola! Hydrated and glowing skin!
