Face Care

1. CLEANSING

Women who wear makeup should carry out a routine of cleansing, toning
and moisturizing each evening, as well as washing the face in the
morning. Cleansing will remove old make-up and the grime and grease
that have been accumulated during the day.

* Remove mascara with a cotton bud dipped in eye-dipped in eye-
cleansing lotion. To make the job easier keep your hair off your face.
* Remove the eyeshadow by gently wiping it off with a pad of clean
cotton wool moistened with eye-cleansing lotion.
* Pour a little face cleansing cream into the palm of one hand and
dab it generously over the nose, chin, forehead and cheeks --- using
two fingers of the other hand.
* Massage the cream into the skin, starting under the throat,
using a gentle upward motion.
* Continue massaging the cream up to the forehead, using the
fingertips.
* Gently massage the cream from the eyes to the nose.
* Massage cream back over the chin, which is particularly prone to
blackheads. Use the index finger.
* Remove the cream from the face with tissue pads in each hand.
Start under the chin and work over the cheeks and on to the forehead.

2. TONING

Toners remove all traces of dirt, make-up or cleanser that remain
after cleansing.

* Immediately after cleansing apply toner to the forehead and
cheeks on a pad of corron wool
* Apply the toner to the crevices around the nose.
* Apply the toner to the crevices around the chin.

3. MOISTURIZING

Without moisture, the skin will not remain smooth and supple. The face
is exposed to the drying effect of the weather, so moisturizers --
which form a film over the skin -- contain and augment the natural
moisture.

* Using the tips of the fingers, dot moisturizing cream lightly
all over the face.
* Press the fingers of both hands into the centre of the forehead
and work the cream slowly outwards. Pat the cream gently around the
eyes.
* Work the cream around the jawline, chin and mouth with the
middle fingers of both hands.
* Massage the cream over the throat with alternating hands, using
upward strokes from collar-bone to chin.
