Every 2-3 days

1. 2 in 1 Resurfacing Exfoliant - Apply a small amount to clean, damp skin and rub in circular motions for 30-60 seconds concentrating on problem areas. Leave on for a few minutes to allow the AHA's to activate then rinse well with lukewarm water.
2. Age Defiance Night Serum in place of Aloe Vera/Balancing Moisturiser - This may or may not cause a mild tingling sensation, which is considered normal. By occasionally treating your skin Age Defiance Night Serum, you are exfoliating the skin to reduce acne-causing bacteria in the pores.
3. Deep Cleanse Antioxidant Masque – Apply a generous layer to clean, dry skin. Avoiding the eyes and mouth. Leave on for 10-15 minutes then gently massage the masque to melt jojoba esters. Rinse off with warm water and follow with recommended moisturiser.
