Before you begin get your hair out of the way. Splash your face with warm water prior to using any of our cleansers and have a clean white face towel handy to gently pat your skin (no rubbing). Apply all moisturizers and treatments to clean damp skin and massage into the skin until completely absorbed.

Cleanse
Cider Restore Tonic is a great morning cleanser and toner for all skin types that is used to balance the skin, promote healing as well as cleanse. Since you cleansed your skin before bed this should be adequate in addition to being healthy and healing for your skin. Run water in the sink until warm then pull the stopper and run about two cups of water. Pour three caps of the Cider Tonic into the water and mix with your finger. Using your hands wash your face with this a few times, then pat gently dry but leave the skin damp. Do not rinse off.

Choose from Herbal Facial Cleanser (oily-acne), Soothing Aloe Vera Cleanser (all skin types) or Fresh N Clean (normal-combination-oily) splash skin with warm water prior to use. Dispense a nickel size amount of cleanser use your hands or facial sponge while making circular motions wash your face from forehead to chin, include nose, cheeks and hairline area. Rinse 5-10 times with warm water and pat gently with a clean white face towel.

Tone
Follow your cleanser of choice with a toner if desired. Dispense a nickel size amount of Herbal Facial Toner (Normal to oily-acne), Soothing Aloe Vera Toner (dry-sensitive) or Purifying Mist & Toner (oily-acne) on a 100% cotton ball and apply all over the face; pay attention to problem areas, forehead, nose, chin, cheeks and hairline.

Day-time Face Moisturizer
Okay now you are ready for your daytime moisturizer or treatment. To get the most from your facial moisturizer or treatment always apply while your skin is still damp and massage it into the skin until completely absorbed. If your skin is not damp just wet your fingers a little before you put the moisturizer or treatment in your hands. Shake off any excess water; you just want your fingers to be damp. All our moisturizers or treatments recommend you use one-two drops only.

Daytime moisturizers or treatments are a matter of preference and what is the condition of your skin at the time. We believe you have to give your skin what it needs when it needs it which is why Herbal Luxuries have several products to help those with acne and related skin problems. When it comes to acne and skin problems there is no one size fits all, which is why we suggest the sample sizes so you can explore which product combinations works best for your particular skin issue.

Aloe Manuka Gel or Oily Skin Acne & Problem Skin Lotion are good daytime moisturizers for those with oily skin. But even with these great products by late afternoon you will have an oil melt down. We suggest you take along a sample bottle of Herbal Toner, Soothing Aloe Vera Toner or Purifying Mist along with a couple of cotton balls to refresh your skin and take care of the oil slick. This is another reason the combination of makeup (foundation) and your skin type is a recipe for problems.

Daytime moisturizer/treatment options for normal to combination skin types; Herbal-Enz Acne Treatment Cream or Oily Skin & Acne Problem Skin Lotion.

Perfection Clear Skin Fade and Blemishes Lotion (all skin types) also great for daytime but we suggest its use after pimples and blackheads are under control. This lotion will naturally minimize acne scars and marks, spots and related blemished skin problems.
