Required Time: 25-30 minutes

What you’ll need:

  • Gentle Cleanser
  • Exfoliating Scrub
  • Warm Water & a washcloth
  • Clay-based facial mask
  • Basic Moisturizer

What you do:

  1. Cleanse - Wash your face to remove any dirt and/or make-up.  Be sure to use a gentle cleanser regardless of your skin type.  While washing, be sure to massage your face in small circular motions
  1. Exfoliate - With your fingers, rub a gentle exfoliating scrub in circular motions all over your face.  Concentrate on your “oily” areas.  Rinse your face thoroughly since exfoliating scrubs can be drying
  1. Steam - Fill your sink with warm water, dip a washcloth in and press to your face.  Repeat this 2-3 more times
  1. Apply Mask - Apply a mask to your face.  Apply thinly or liberally, according to your preference. Avoid the sensitive areas around the eyes.  Leave on for 15-20 minutes (until dry).  Rinse completely with lukewarm water.
  1. Moisturize - Smooth on a soothing, all-natural moisturizer.

Tip:  Strong moisturizers that contain retinols & acids will over-exfoliate the skin. Be sure to massage your facial skin lightly
