#1: Cleanse. Using a gentle cleanser will clear away the dirt and grime of the day. How often? Every night

#4: Exfoliate. Use an exfoliator for a tougher scrub than your average cleanser. This can help remove dead skin. How often? Twice a week, to avoid drying out your skin

#5: Moisturize. After washing your face and toning, it is important to moisturize Why? You wash away the essential oils needed for healthy skin. How often? Every night

#6: Eye Cream. Using an eye cream on the skin around the eye will replenish the skin, while reducing dark circles and puffiness. Just be careful when applying around your eyes! How often? Every night
