SKIN1 Tip of the Day

Face cleansing techniques:

1. Wash your hands.  You don’t want to transfer all the dirt, grime and bacteria from your hands to your face.
2. Wash your hair first because most shampoos and conditioners have parabens and waxes in them.
3. Remove any make-up you have on before cleansing your face with SKIN1 clarifying toner..
4. Wet face with warm water to open up pores.  Not too hot because you can burst capillaries and shock your skin which can result in those sensitive red marks usually found around the nose and cheeks.
5. Choose either SKIN1 by Dr Gram daily or clarifying cleanser depending on what your skin needs.
6. Use a nickel to quarter size amount of cleanser on your choice of cleansing tool and rub in small and gentle circular motions.  This will help prevent breaking the collagen and elastin down which leads to fine lines and wrinkles.
   1. Micro-fiber wash cloth
   2. Clarisonic Facial Brush
   3. Fingers
7. Rinse with cool water to close the pores but not cold water because you can shock your skin.
8. After rinsing you want to pat your face dry with a clean dry soft towel.
9. Most important is to moisturize after cleansing no matter what type of skin you have.  Moisturizers lock in the moisture and can help keep fine lines and wrinkle away.
