Basic facial

1. Clean skin with a gentle cleanser
2. Exfoliate using a product with alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA)
3. Steam your face to loosen build-up in pores. You can just do this by shutting the door and doing your facial post-steamy shower, or you can wet your face, fill sink with steaming water and then drape a towel around your head over sink
4. You know you’re supposed to leave blemishes alone, but if you have a mature one you can’t ignore, use 2 clean cotton swabs to gently push out the contents. NEVER use your fingers or nails – they can cut skin leaving scars or causing infection. However, this is also an ideal time to use a pore strip for blackheads
5. Apply a mild toner. Skip this step if you have dry skin
6. Use a mask that best addresses your skin care needs
7. After the recommended amount of time, remove the mask using a warm damp washcloth and gentle wiping
8. On slightly damp skin, massage your face moisturizer in using upward motions. Don't forget to apply it on your neck and décolletage as well.
9. Apply eye cream
