Exfoliate twice a week to help the skin to clear debris, support cell turnover and reduce congestion.

YOU WILL NEED:

Your favourite exfoliant and a soft facial wash cloth.

THE RITUAL

1. Start with cleansed skin. First soften the skin with warm water and then smooth the exfoliant all over your face and neck (adding water if necessary).

2. Massage the exfoliant thoroughly all over the face, using circular movements with the pads of your fingers, and adding a touch more water if your face becomes dry.

3. Then take a hot steamy wash cloth and use it to gently swipe away the product. I like to use a soft muslin cloth for this step, ensuring the skin is thoroughly cleansed.

4. Finally splash some water on your face and ensure you have removed every trace of the product, and continue with your routine.

EXTRA TIPS:

Once your skin is cleansed and exfoliated, massage a few drops of facial oil onto wet skin and follow with moisturiser if needed.

You can also use a gentle chemical exfoliant - such as lactic acid - if you prefer. Again, use twice a week at the most so you don't over-exfoliate and compromise your skin barrier.
