~Face Cleansing regimen~

Step 1: Remove your makeup

• Apply a small amount of eye makeup remover to a cotton pad.
• Gently swipe the cotton pad across your eyelids and along the lashes.
• Make sure all the mascara, eyeshadow and eyeliner are removed.
• You can use the same remover for the whole face.

Tip: Personally, I use a cleansing milk to remove the makeup on the rest of my face. It is more gentle and moisturising for the face too.

Step 2: Wash your face

• Take a 5-cent coin size of liquid cleanser on your palm.
• Lather between your palms first before applying it to your face.
• Massage the cleanser into your skin and then rinse off with lukewarm water.
• Splashing our face with cold water after that does not shrink your pores at all.

Step 3: Dry, tone and moisturise.

• With a soft clean towel, gently blot the face dry.
• Rubbing will leave the skin blotchy and increases your wrinkles more.
• Apply a small amount of toner to a cotton pad and gently swipe from your chin in an upwards motion an from your nose in an outwards motion towards your ears.
• Apply a pea-size amount of moisturiser over your damp skin on your face and neck to seal in moisture. This can also help to conserve your moisturiser. A tiny bit goes a long way on damp skin.

Tip: Using a toner after cleansing your face gives a second round of cleansing. It will clean off remaining makeup, debris and cleanser from your face.

Just be sure that your toner does not contain any alcohol as this will dry your skin, which does no good at all.
