How to Purify Your Skin

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Kim with Simply Beautiful in Austin, Texas. We're going to talk about how to purify your skin so you can get a beautiful glow. We're going to start with some warm water in a bowl. A hand towel, clean hand towel, wring it out. You don't get it really hot water, but just warm enough that you can stand it because you want to get those pores really open. Tilting your head back, just wrap your skin in it. You've seen this on television, in the old tiny barber shop. Really just want to get your pores open this way. Leave that on for about two minutes. Once that's done, once that's done your pores are going to be really open and ready for whatever comes next. We're going to exfoliate the skin using a nice gentle exfoliator. I like the St Ives because the beads are very spherical, round, completely round, and don't tear up the surface of your skin. I'll demonstrate on Megan's hand, and we're just going to take a bead the size of a dime and rub gently on her skin, all around. Don't forget the nose area, the chin, between your eyes. Just really, really get that nice and worked in. Do it for between a minute or two minutes. I'm going to clean that off, rinse that off with some warm water, just clear running warm water. And then tone your skin. Pat it dry and then tone it. Use an alcohol free toner, get the rest of those beads off, just make sure it's clean. Now, while it's still moist, we're going to take a nice clay mask and apply it thickly. About the size of a quarter, we're going to blend it into her skin. Just blend it in, get it all over your skin. Don't forget the nose, don't forget the chin, between your eyes. Those are areas that the dirt tends to settle, because that's where they're most oily. After that's on there for about eight to ten minutes, don't let it completely dry, it's going to absorb all the dirt and impurities that are in the surface of your skin, draw them to the surface, and deposit them int he clay mask. So, when you are ready and you sweep away the clay mask, you're also sweeping away the dirt and impurities that were in your skin. I want you to go ahead and do this once or twice a week. Take a look at your skin when your finished and look how clean and clear and tightened those pores look. And when it no longer looks like that, do it again, it shouldn't take more than once or twice a week."
