Life on the run?

In today's world everything seems to be buzzing. Life is more hectic than ever, Our skin is taking its toll. The dirty pollutants in our world affects our skin more than ever. That is why it's important to clean and nourish our skin everyday. When you wake up you should soak your face with hot water, then clean it with a cleanser or water-based soap. After this you should apply a face mask or nourishing cream, let these soak up for 5-10 min. Then rinse your face with cool water in order to close your pores and lock in all the goodies you just gave your skin. At night you should wash all of your makeup off, if you have stubborn mascara then apply some makeup remover to a q-tip and use that. After you have washed off the makeup soak your face in hot/warm water again. Then apply a toner (you can use lemon juice if you don't have any). This will get rid of the dead skin cells and leave your face rejuvinated in the morning. Then apply your moisturizer. Close your pores again and wake up feeling great! Your skin will thank you!


P.S-You should exfoliate your skin once a week to achieve a deep cleaning! You can do this with sugar and lemon juice!!
