#1. Cleansing to remove the soil and debris that collect on the surface of the skin. This includes make-up, dirt, dust, waste products excreted by the skin, and dead skin cells. Proper cleansing will clean away make-up and dirt without leaving the skin dehydrated, irritated, or stripped of its natural oils. There are two rules of thumb for cleansing that apply for all types of skin and every age group: Never use soap and always treat your skin gently.

#2. Exfoliating to remove dead skin cells that can clog pores and dull the surface of the skin. Regular and consistent exfoliation is the best way to improve the overall appearance of the skin, revealing younger, smoother, softer skin, with an improved texture.

#3. Freshener (toning) to reestablish the pH of the skin as well as prepare the skin for the next step. Fresheners also step up circulation so the cells are properly nourished in order to function at their best.

#4. Moisturizing to protect the skin from moisture loss and guard the skin against the effects of environmental conditions as well as to hold moisture next to the skin to counteract dryness and help prevent the signs of aging.
