"Hi, my name is Karen Lange. I'm a licensed aesthetician and I currently work at Lotus Skin and Body Care, for the last two years. And today we're going to be doing a Vitamin C facial treatment today. And, Vitamin C is a great anti-aging treatment. It's really popular these days, and the main purpose of Vitamin C is to brighten the skin. So, it's going to tone, lift, and actually firm the skin. And, every product that we're using today has a little bit of Vitamin C in it. So, it's, my assistant Jen, here is just going to get a super boost of Vitamin C. The first step of our Vitamin C facial treatment today, would be make-up removing. So, I'm going to take my cotton pads here, and get a little bit of make-up removing product. And, we're going to focus here on, her lips, and also, the eye area. And, that's just to make sure, any make-up that she might have on, is removed. And, it's not in the way of the treatment we're going to give to her today. So, I'm taking my Vitamin C cleanser, and I'm going to emulsify the product with a little bit of water. And really rub it together to get it nice and foamy. One of the main benefits of this cleanser is that it's a foaming cleanser. A lot of people appreciate a foamy cleanser, because it leaves the skin with a nice, neat, and uniform feeling. You kind of get that squeaky, clean, feel, when you're using a foamy cleanser. And with the added Vitamin C in here, it's a great anti-aging product, and it's also anti-inflammatory. So, if someone has, you know, a blemish problem or even a little bit of Rosacea, this cleanser is great and ideal for those skin types, as well as normal skin types. And, you just want to gently cleanse, for just a few minutes. You can cleanse under steam, as well. But we want to just really want to open the pores up, and prepare the skin for the next steps of the Vitamin C facial treatment. And, to remove the cleanser, we're going to use warm water and sponges. And cleansing is also, always important too, just to remove any dirt and oil, that has gathered up from our skin, you know, throughout the day. It also removes any products that we've, we use, we used previously, including make-up. And, go ahead and squeeze out your sponges a few times. Just to make sure that there's no product or residue leftover."
