"Now with the basic facial as you can see this skin is quite beautiful and we are not going to need to do any extractions. So what we will do is we are going to move in, we are going to do a little bit of a gomaz and that will be for an exfoliation. We are going to use the gomaz to exfoliate, then we are going to place on a hydrated cream and when you use our steamer to go ahead and steam the hydration into the skin so you can create that collagen to become a little bit plumper. So we will go ahead and start with the gomaz next. We are just gong to take the tube and we are going to add just a little bit to the hand. Now we are going to rub it together and place it on the skin gently until you feel a tiny bit of a peel come up. This is a great exfoliator because there are no granules. When you have very soft skin that doesn't have a lot of breakouts the gomaz works in a way that you are not putting any granules on the skin and there is no damage to the skin. You are still getting a light exfoliation. Now as you can see we are not getting too many peels here and that reason would be because she is a little bit dehydrated so we are going to go ahead and get a little bit more, place more on the skin, and go ahead and do a little bit more eflorage to see if we can go ahead and get a little more exfoliation from the skin. So at this point, there we go. And this is a great product in the respect that it also lets me know where the hydration of the skin is at so we know at this point she is a little bit dehydrated, of course we are in Arizona so that would be another factor. Arizona is very dehydrating for peoples' skin. As you can see you will see tiny little peels coming up and this is the gomaz at work. It also lets me know that we have got an extra dose of hydration into her skin. So we are done here and we will go ahead and once again we will rinse off the face and next we are going to move in to steaming and hydrating. We are going to go ahead and steam and hydrate after we take this off and put on our next product. Take a deep breath dear. "
