How to use

Step 1: Cleanser Cleanser - Travel Size

How to use a cleanser

Use morning and evening. Splash the face and eyes generously with water. Apply a small amount of cleanser to your face using vigorous yet gentle circular motions. Rinse well. Repeat or use with a clean washcloth to remove heavy makeup.

Here's a step-by-step of your morning & evening skincare application.

Step 1: Cleanser

Wet your face and apply a small amount with gentle, circular motions. Rinse well. To remove heavy makeup, repeat or use with a clean, wet washcloth.

Step 2: Toner

With your fingertips or a cotton pad, gently apply over the face and neck. Do not rinse.

Step 3 Exfoliants

Gently apply with your fingertips or a cotton pad over the face and neck, including the eye area (avoid lash line and eyelids). Do not rinse. Start slowly: Apply every other day and note your skin's response. Then use up to twice daily.

Step 4 Treatments

Dispense a pearl-sized amount to your hand and apply once or twice daily to the face, neck and eye area.

Step 5 Moisturisers

Use a day moisturiser as the last step in your morning skincare routine and apply liberally at least 15 minutes before stepping into sun exposure. As always, it's best to reapply every two hours once the skin has been exposed to direct sunlight. For a night moisturiser, apply a small amount once or twice daily to the face and neck.
