how to use

Complete your first cleanse with a pre-cleansing formula to lift makeup, excess oil, and pollutants from the skin.
Dispense a blueberry sized amount of cleansing gel into damp hands and add water to create a foam. Rub palms together to lather the gel until it’s light and bubbly. It shouldn’t feel sticky or tacky – add more water if it does.
Massage into skin with small circular movements for one minute. Focus on areas of congestion and don’t forget your hairline, neck, and chest.

Pro tip: To avoid sensitising skin during cleaning, ensure the water is tepid, not too hot, or too cold. And keep your pressure light to medium to avoid over stimulating the skin.
