How many skin care products should I use?

One of the most common skincare mistakes is applying too much product. Especially when applying professional skin care products, it is important to keep in mind that they are highly concentrated products. This means you need to use less to experience the full benefits. To determine the appropriate application quantity, follow this guide:

Exfoliating regularly is an essential part of a healthy skin care routine. Your skin naturally turns over, but oil, dead skin, and impurities that build up on the surface can cause it to become tangled. Exfoliation helps increase skin cell turnover by shedding off dead skin and clearing the way for new skin cells to rise to the surface.

Although we agree that exfoliation plays an important role in skin health, it can be easy to overdo it. Exfoliating too often or using abrasive products can cause more harm than good. gently and effectively To exfoliate your skin, we recommend the following:

• Powder exfoliator: For a powder exfoliant like Strawberry Rhubarb Dermafoliant, shake three raspberry-sized amounts into the palm of your hand. Add a few drops of water and gently massage the paste into your skin. Wash thoroughly.
• Exfoliating Peel: Apply a raspberry-sized amount (or 1-2 pumps) of the exfoliating solution onto a cotton pad. Apply in a circular motion to the face and neck, avoiding the eye area. Please continue.

All you have to do is put a few drops of water on a cherry-sized mask in your hand and emulsify it. Apply evenly and let dry for 5-10 minutes. Please gently remove it with lukewarm water.
