1) Cleansing – I Mean Double Cleansing your Skin…
You should have an excellent moisturizing and the most convenient way to cleanse, brush, your face enough to clean all the impurities from the past days, but also to remove as much face skin dead cells as possible.
That means you need to double cleanse your face.
The concept of double cleansing is derived from the Korean Beauty method which became popular in America, and the method is as simple as cleaning your face twice.
The First Cleansing is basically an oil-based cleansing, no water involved, to make sure you are removing makeup, oil, debris, any sort of pollution left behind.
Followed by the Second Cleansing which the primary objective is to make sure that no spot has not been cleaned. This is an example of how important the cleansing step is a skincare routine.
In this step, you use your favorite cleanser with a scrub, or Clarisonic, if you have it.
Take your time, as much as you need to. The most important thing in this step is to go through your whole face an neck, efficiently and gently.

You are ensuring that all the external factors, pollutants, any form or microparticles, do not sit on your skin, hampering your night time regeneration process to happen, leading to premature aging.
And we do not want that, right?
2) Exfoliate Your Skin
Yes, there are more to do now on the assuring your skin is completely clean. But now on the exfoliating step, swapping away all the skin dead cells.

It is a straightforward and efficient way to really feel the motions, massaging your face while doing this, while splashing water, applying the moves to scrub and then rinse with tepid water.
- Lingering some products like Glycolic Pads or Exfoliating Serums will do the job as well.
We can never emphasize too much, how important it is to apply sunscreen no matter what especially under the conditions of applying Glycolic on your face.
3) Steaming Your Face For A Real Spa-Beauty Ritual
The number one benefit of going through the Steaming Stage is the opportunity to have your pores open.
This helps to eliminate toxins and makes it easy to absorb the actives from the upcoming stages of your skincare spa routine.
In a bowl, put the boiled water inside and if you want to bring a Spa experience to your home it’s time for a few drops (3-5 drops) the essential oils to deliver some feelings as below:
- Invigorated: citrus-scented essential oils
- Relaxed: lavender or chamomile essential oils
- Uplifted: rose essential oil
- Spa-steam experience: eucalyptus oil
Be close enough to the bow or container with the Hot, Steamed Water – Be careful though – The water has been boiled – And about 12 inches away put the towel on the back of your head in a way that you can create a tent.
For nearly 10 minutes max, relax, enjoy the process and let the steam go through your face.
Keep the eyes closed to avoid sensibility in the eyes due to the essential oils. If it is not comfortable, stop immediately and try to do it without the towel tent.
