Clean your skin every evening - The skin pores get blocked dust to exposure to air pollution, wind, sun, air conditioning, dirt and grime from our fingers.

Exfoliating
It is important to help the skin renewal process by removing dead skin cells. Exfoliate at least twice a week to get rid of dead skin cells. Care should be taken if you have broken capillaries/surface veins.

Clay Masks
Clay helps to deep cleanse and draw out impurities and to soften and condition the skin.

Moisturizing
Monitoring helps to protect your skin from daily pollutants. Moisturizing morning and evening with a natural moisturizer hydrates, moisturizes and protects the skin.
