Cleansing oils are great even for those with oily skin! It clears away make-up better than other cleansers.
Cleansing oils go onto dry hands, and a dry face.
Start with two drops of oil onto your palm
Warm the oil with your hands, and begin massaging it into the skin.
Work with your fingertips and palm alternately
Start with your cheeks, before moving over to the T-zone and over make-up.
Rinse with warm water, or gently wipe away with a warm, wet cloth.

2. The best way to apply your Facial Cleanser
Use warm water (it helps open your pores), with clean fingers, and a damp face
Squeeze a blueberry-sized amount of cleanser onto your fingers and massage in circular motions to get rid of dirt from pores.
Start with your cheeks, before moving onto the sides of your nose, forehead, and chin.
Wash off the cleanser after a minute- don’t forget to rinse the hairline too!
Pat dry with a facial sponge or washcloth to ensure no makeup, dirt and oil remain.

8. The best way to apply your Sunscreen (Day)
Don’t think that you don’t need to apply it even when you’re at home. If you’re sitting near a window, wear your sunscreen! Sunscreens or sunblock protects your skin from the sun rays, reduces sunburn and other skin damage, ultimately leading to a lower risk of skin cancer. It’s best to get one that’s SPF30 and above.
Spread your sunscreen and massage it in.
Apply it 15-30 minutes before you go outside, and reapply it every 2 hours!
