HOW-TO
Spring Clean Your Skin
Start the season with a fresh face.

Don’t just clean out your closets and dust behind the couch, give your skin a spring cleaning, too! Sweep away dead skin cells and reveal a fresher, brighter complexion with a relaxing, exfoliating facial.

1) Cleanse

All skin types will benefit from a mild, soap-free organic cleanser that hydrates and brightens skin. Try a creamy cleanser on dry skin. Oily or combination skin will benefit from an alpha beta hydroxy foaming cleanser, which is also a great solution for sun-damaged or mature complexions.

2) Purify

Gentle steaming prepares skin for deep cleansing and treatment. Add 3 chamomile tea bags to a pot of boiling water. Remove the pot from the from the heat and allow the tea to steep for 5 minutes. Keeping your head 12-18 inches from the pot, place a towel over your head to contain the steam. Steam your face for 3-5 minutes. The steam should feel pleasantly warm, not hot. After steaming, gently massage your face with a facial scrub, then rinse with warm water and pat dry.

3) Treat

Clarify skin with a pore refining masque or choose a detoxifying masque, hydrating masque, firming masque or moisturizing masque—whatever suits your needs. Apply eye cream to the delicate skin around the eyes. While the masque is working, put your feet up, and relax!

4) Hydrate

After rinsing off the masque, rehydrate your skin with a potent skin serum or an energizing facial moisturizer.
