Your skin care regimen should include the following:

Morning and Evening Cleansing:

When cleansing your face, gently massage the soapy lather onto your face with your fingertips using an upward rotating motion. Do not use a washcloth! It may irritate your face and, with frequent usage, accumulate bacteria that may further infect your skin.

Rinse your face with warm water and gently pat your face dry with a clean soft towel.

Keep in mind that when you clean your face, you are simply removing dirt and oil from the skin's surface. Washing your face six times a day will not prevent acne; in fact, you may aggravate the condition! if you wash too vigorously or use the wrong type of cleanser.

Toning:

After your face is dry, apply a toner. Using a toner can help soothe your irritated, blemished skin. We recommend that you dab on the toner with a cotton ball immediately after you cleanse your face in the morning and at night.
