Tips
Your "face" includes everything from your hairline down to your chest. Treat ALL of your skin, including the back of your neck.
Cleanse your skin no more than 2x daily, and give it time to work. Spend 2-3 full minutes working it into all areas of your skin, especially the t-zone.
Some toners/mists are designed to be applied with a cotton pad, be sure to read the instructions.
Serums generally need to be fully massaged into the skin. Some are suitable to be used around the eye area too, so check the label.
You may be instructed to layer several serums to address your specific skin concerns. Check with your esthetician if its ok to "cocktail" them in your hand first to streamline application.
Eye cream should be applied along the orbital bone only; do not apply too close to the lash line as it may absorb into the eye membranes and cause irritation.
Use enough moisturizer to enable a smooth application. You should never be tugging or dragging your skin. Move the product, not your face:)
SPF IS NON-NEGOTIABLE. Use it EVERY day, even when it's not sunny. SPF is about protecting your skin from radiation, not sunlight.
