 Time: 25-30 minutes

What You'll Need:

  • Gentle cleanser
  • Exfoliating scrub
  • Warm water & a soft washcloth
  • Clay-based facial masque
  • Moisturizer developed for facial skin

Five quick & easy steps:

  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. (Try our Organic Facial Wash ) 
  1. Exfoliate - With your fingers, rub a gentle exfoliating scrub or cloth in circular motions all over your face. Concentrate on your “oily” areas. Rinse your face thoroughly since exfoliating scrubs can be drying
  1. Steam - Dip a washcloth in warm water and press to your face. Repeat this 2-3 more times
  1. Apply Masque - 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, & pat dry with a warm, barely damp washcloth. (Try our White Clay Facial Masque)
  1. Moisturize - Smooth on a soothing, all-natural moisturizer, again using light circular motions.
Tip: Strong moisturizers that contain retinols & acids will over-exfoliate the skin if used with another exfoliant, or too often.
       Be sure to massage your facial skin lightly.
