2. Rub it gently with your hands in circular motion and wash it away with clean,warm water.
P.S. pick the right kind of exfoliant for your skin depending on your skin type. For instance, only a creamy exfoliator would do for people with dry skin. It will make skin look fresh and beautiful.
Massage Into Your Face
Massage is now looked at as a therapy. It improves skin clarity and tone. There is no need to go to a salon all the time. Do-it-yourself.
1. Use your fingertips and gently rub it down into your face for a couple of minutes.
2. Begin from your chin and move up towards the cheeks and forhead.

It improves sleep, calms depression and anxiety, eases muscle pain besides other benefits. So, if you have time and inclination, get a full body massage – from head-to-toe.

The pH of water is enough to do so. Cleansing your face in the evening should be done with a cleanser depending on your skin type. This removes dirt and the debris that may have been left behind by your makeup products. Still need deep cleaning, use cleansing balm or paste, which also acts as an exfoliant and will leave your skin super clean and smooth.

Skin can sometimes become unpredictable when the seasons change. It gets prone to infections, allergies and hence turns more sensitive. A serum acts as a barrier for the skin and protects it from external damage. Use serum that reduces inflammation and delivers hydration too. Serum penetrates deep into the skin and renews lipids. Good for the aging skin.
