BASIC FACIAL ROUTINE.

Today I am going to share the basic, daily, facial routine you can do on yourself - or others.

You will need - eye make-up remover; cleanser; toner, moisturiser, damp cotton wool pads; round facial sponges x 2 ( or flannels) in a bowl of warm water; cotton wool buds; tissues; a band to hold your hair back;

1) Dab a little eye make-up remover onto two pads, using one for each eye wipe over the eyelid and around to the edge, round and inwards, then reverse this motion. Do this even if you are not wearing any make-up as it is a gentle cleanser. If you are wearing make-up you will need to do this a few times and use cotton buds with remover on to clean the lashes well. Don't forget your eyebrows.

2) Dab cleanser onto your lips and gently massage over them and around - again do this even if you are not wearing lipstick. Wipe off with a damp pad.

3) Put a little cleanser into your palms, rub together and gently spread over you face from the base of the neck up to your forehead and down over the cheeks. Gently massage cream all over face - no harsh pulling. Make sure you cleanse behind the ears, in the hair line and the creases of the nose where dirt and make-up get trapped.

4) Remove cleanser with sponges in warm water, rinsing out sponges over and again. Wipe from base of neck and up, be gentle. This is your superficial cleanse, it will take the surface layer of dirt off your face only.

5) Repeat steps 3 and 4 but do it for longer and massage the cleanser in deeper. This is your deep cleanse and really starts to clean your skin. You can have an even deeper cleanse if you use a small facial massage brush in gentle, circular movements for this cleanse.

6)Spritz toner over your face - or dab onto cotton pads then dab over skin - blot with tissue.

7) Apply a small amount of moisturizer to your palms and gently sweep it over your face from base of the neck and up to your forehead and down again as with cleanser. If you feel a little greasy blot with tissue.

8) That's it. A very basic cleanse you can do every day. It is best to use products in the same range as they will work better together.
