Step 1: Cleanser:
Amount to use: 50cent piece
Application: Spend a minute massaging in a lightweight cleanser (my new favourite is Aloree purifying cleansing milk- loving both the texture and subtle sweet, grassy smell). Apply circular motions on the chin, nose and forehead – this helps to drain toxins. If using a balm or cream cleanser, don’t let this sink into the skin. Rinse with warm water and pat dry. Wait one minute before moving on to the next step.
Step 2: Toner
Amount to use: 20cent piece
Application: A toner removes any residual impurities/ dead skin/ and cleanser. Saturate a cotton wool pad with rose water or toner ( I am also loving Aloreé’s Purifying Toner which contains Barley Seed Water), then sweep over skin.
Step 3 : Serum
Amount to use: 5cent piece
Application: This should be applied before your moisturiser . A serum is an ultra light but nutrient- rich formula that deeply penetrates the skin as its molecules that are much smaller than those in a moisturiser. Apply three drops in the palm of your hands and massage into dry skin until fully absorbed. Choose one containing antioxidants to keep skin luminous. Try Antipodes Worship Superfruit Antioxident Serum a raw, high-energy super-potent serum that is a concentrated health kick for your skin.
Step 4: Eye Cream
Amount to use: Grain of rice (per eye)
Application: Apply to the ring finger of your hand and pat around the eye socket. Remember the skin around the eye is one tenth of the density than on the face, so eye products must be much lighter than a moisturiser. Choose a formula that contains wrinkle-fighting and health-boosting vitamins.
Step 5 : Moisturiser
Amount to use: 20cent piece
Application: Apply the correct dose to the back of your hand, then warm it between your hands to activate the ingredients. Use firm upward motions from the centre of the face out towards the hairline where the lymph nodes are located. This aids detoxification. Tip: Gently stroke outwards with the finger tips at least 3 times to increase collagen and elastin in the forehead.
