Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Warm water
• Wash Cloth
• Facial cleanser or foaming face wash
• Toner, after shave or daily acne cleansing pads
• Cotton balls or small gauze pads
• daily moisturizer with at least SPF 15

1. Cleansing Motions Cleansing:
   Moisten the wash cloth with warm water. With both hands start at the base of the neck and moisten the neck and face with upward and outward circular motions. This is essential, because we need to remove the dead epithelial before hand.
   With a nickel sized portion of facial cleanser dab small amounts on either side of the Adams Apple, the chin, each side of lower jaw, each cheek, each side of the nose, each eye lid, each temple and about three dabs across the forehead.
   Moisten fingers with the warm water and with the finger tips work in small circular motions upward and outward starting on the neck.
   Working up the neck and face methodically.
   When the manipulations on the neck and face are complete moisten the wash cloth again with warm water and rinse off the cleanser thoroughly.
2. Toning:
   Using toner, after save or acne cleansing pads you will cover the cleansed surface of the neck and face.
   If it makes it easier with the toner or after shave moisten a piece of cotton or square of gauze with the toner or after shave.
   Rub the solution on neck and face in the same upward and outward motions used for cleansing.
3. Moisturize:
   Dab small drops of moisturizer on each side of the neck, the chin, each side of lower jaw, each cheek, each side of the nose, each eye lid, each temple and about three dabs across the forehead.
   Smooth the lotion all over the neck and face in circular motions upward and outward as before.

Tips & Warnings

• Men can do their shaving between the cleansing and toning steps.
• With children this can be turned into a game to learn the parts of the neck and face.
• It also instills good daily routine into a child's daily schedule like brushing their teeth.
• The upward and outward motions are good resistance when the face has gravity working against all the time.
• These steps can be used on the ears, but remember to stay out of the ear canal.
• Make sure children are supervised when using these products, because you don't want them to get any in their mouth or eyes.
