CLEANSE
Cleansing plays a crucial role in our skincare routine. Skincare products work better when our skin is clean. The buildup of daily grime and makeup blocks our skin's ability to absorb active ingredients, reducing their effectiveness. Start with a good cleanser to ensure your face cream can penetrate deeply and work its magic.

EXFOLIATE
Exfoliating scrubs gently massage and clear our skin of dead cells, dirt, and oil. The exfoliating granules lift buildup and grime, enabling active ingredients to penetrate more effectively. Additionally, the massaging action improves circulation and increases blood flow to the skin's surface. Incorporate exfoliation into your routine 2-3 times a week for optimal results.

BOOST YOUR CIRCULATION
Massaging your face with your fingers promotes circulation. This wakes up your complexion and slightly warms your skin, allowing active ingredients to be absorbed more easily. As a result, your cream's ingredients will be more effective. Spend a few minutes each day gently massaging your face in upward, circular motions.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT INGREDIENTS
All skin types need moisturising, but our skin responds better to active ingredients tailored to its specific needs. Dry skin benefits from nourishing and hydrating ingredients, older skin may need anti-wrinkle or firming components, and oily, congested, or acne-prone skin requires balancing and mattifying properties. Understanding your skin type and concerns will prevent you from investing in skincare treatments that your skin doesn’t need.

TEXTURE IS IMPORTANT TOO
Choosing textures that suit your skin type is equally important. Try gels or fluids for combination or greasy skin, light creams for normal skin, and richer creams for dry skin. By picking the right texture, you ensure your skin will soak up the beneficial properties your moisturizer has to offer.
