DIY Facial Steps
While we also have time for the best diet pill , we sometimes get so caught up with things and don’t pay very much attention to our skin. I am definitely guilty about it. So when I found this on a bio skin care online – i thought i should share this with everyone.

Step 1: Cleanse
Directions
Pump a small amount (pea-sized) of Moisturizing Cleanser onto your palm. Together with a bit of water, work up a lather. Apply to moistened face and gently massage using upward and outward circular motions, lightly passing over the eyelids and lashes. Rinse off thoroughly with warm water.
Purpose
Cleansing is the most important step in the daily skin care regime. Yet not many people do a thorough job at cleansing. The face should be thoroughly cleansed at least twice a day – once in the morning and once in the evening. Cleansing removes perspiration and excess sebum deposited during the night while cleansing in the evening removes make-up and impurities accumulated during the day.

Step 2 Treatment (according to specific need)
Directions
Treatment is necessary depending on individual needs. For example, a person with bad acne scarring on the face may include the cell repair essence and cell metabolism essence here. On the other hand, someone with skin pigmentation might want to use the cell luminous essence to enhance the overall results of his/her skin care regime.
Purpose
Those with problems such as acne, scarring, pigmentation, dry, ageing and sensitive skin, may use specific products from the Treatment series and/or Intensive Treatment series. These products are formulated to combat certain targeted problem areas.

Step 3 Hydrate
Directions
Apply a small amount of Hydrating Tonic directly on dry, cleansed face, tapping the face gently in an upward and outward manner.
Purpose
The Hydrating Tonic supplies moisture to the basal cells of the skin. Use in the mornings and evenings after cleansing your face.
-
Step 4 Eye Care
Directions
Using the ring finger, gently pat a small amount of Active Eye Gel around the contours of the eyes in the mornings and evenings.
Purpose
It is extremely important to nourish and stimulate blood circulation around the eyes. It will reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines as well as puffiness and signs of fatigue. Regular eye care will relax the tissue around the eyes, preventing eye bags and dark rings from appearing.
-
Step 5 Nourish
Directions
Apply a small amount of Transomes Energizer Cream all over the face and neck in the mornings. Massage the cream gently into the skin using upward and outward strokes to allow for better absorption.
Purpose
Nourishing will help regenerate cellular activity and restore the skin’s smoothness and radiance.
-
Step 6 Protect
Directions
Apply a thin layer of Daily Defence Cream onto the face and neck in the mornings.
Purpose
Protecting the skin is an important step especially in extreme sunny and humid conditions. A good cream will prevent free radical damage from sunlight exposure, fights photo ageing and protect the skin against environmental pollutants such as dirt and prevents blemishes from forming.
-
Step 7 Repair
Directions
Apply a thin layer of Transomes Repair Cream or Phyto Balancing Repair Cream onto the face and neck in the evenings.
Purpose
Repairing the skin during the night is to restore the skin’s elasticity and smoothness.
Those with problems such as acne, scarring, pigmentation, dry, ageing and sensitive skin, may use specific products formulated to suit their specific needs from the Treatment series and/or Intensive Treatment series.
