Facial skin care: Basic Routine

In spite of the fact that there are different types of skins, the use of cleansers and moisturizers should be a daily routine.

It is best to use warm water and a soft cleanser free of irritant products like alcohol and detergents.

Apply the cleanser and cover all your face, after 20 seconds splash your face with warm water to rinse off the cleanser, then tap smoothly your face with a towel, finally apply a moisturizer and massage it into your face in circles until it is absorbed.

This routine should be repeated twice a day, in the morning and before going to bed.
