How to Use:
- Wet the face using lukewarm water.
- Apply a suitable amount of cleanser onto wet hands.
- Spread it over the face and massage the skin gently in circular motions.
- Avoid direct contact with the eyes.
- Rinse the face well with water until the cleanser is completely removed.
- Pat the skin dry, then use a moisturizer suitable for your skin type.
- The cleanser can be used once to twice daily according to the skin’s needs and tolerance.
Usage Tips from Beauty Time:
- The Beauty Time team recommends massaging the cleanser onto the skin gently without harsh rubbing, because its formula provides gentle exfoliation and does not require rough friction to get its benefits.
- If your skin is sensitive or not used to exfoliating products, start by using it once daily or every other day, then gradually increase frequency according to skin tolerance.
- For caring for dark spots and uneven tone, make the cleanser part of a complete routine that includes a suitable pigmentation serum, moisturizer, and sunscreen, because the cleanser alone is not a substitute for the rest of the skincare steps.
- After cleansing, use a moisturizer that contains barrier-supporting ingredients to help maintain moisture and reduce the possibility of dryness.
- If you use retinol or other AHA or BHA exfoliants, monitor skin response and reduce combining them if dryness, redness, or excessive peeling appears.
- Avoid using harsh physical exfoliants in the same routine if your skin irritates easily, to reduce the possibility of over-exfoliation.
- If you wear heavy makeup or water-resistant sunscreen, remove it first with a suitable cleanser, then use this cleanser as a second cleansing step.
- Avoid very hot water, because high heat may increase moisture loss and the feeling of tightness after cleansing.
- Caring for pigmentation requires consistency and patience; therefore, do not expect dark spots to disappear in a short period, especially if they are deep or old.
- Using sunscreen in the morning is one of the most important steps to maintain radiance and limit increased pigmentation caused by UV exposure.
- If you feel that the skin has become drier or more sensitive, temporarily reduce use and focus on hydration and supporting the skin barrier before increasing frequency again.
