Saving Face

If you think you’re REALLY washing your face – you might not be...

 Our faces are exposed to more harsh elements than any other part of our bodies. And a lot of us slap on MORE damage with makeup or shaving products. Here’s how to REALLY save face:



• Don’t use regular soap – it dries out the skin and leaves residue in your pores. Use a cleanser specifically for the face.

• Exfoliate once a week – it removes the dead cells – and that goes for BOTH women and men.

• Use a mask once a month – they’re really good for your face. Clay and mud based are the best – you’ll see AND feel the difference.

If you really want to wash off the old skin and bacteria – consider a chemical skin peel. Just be sure to check the recommendations that best suit your skin type.
