- Gently massage onto skin in small circular motions, focusing on areas with roughness, dry patches, or clogged pores. Avoid the delicate eye area.
- Rinse thoroughly with water and pat skin dry with a clean towel. Use 2–3 times per week, depending on your skin’s tolerance and sensitivity.
- Follow with a gentle toner, hydrating serum, and moisturizer. In the morning, always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen after use, as exfoliation can increase skin sensitivity to the sun.
