A good cleanser is the essential first step in any skincare routine.

While daily cleansing is important to healthy skin, the right cleanser can do more than just remove dirt and impurities.

Rose Oil Cleanser

The Rose Oil Cleanser dislodges and encapsulates even the most stubborn oil and grit and sweeps away clean, so skin’s natural lipid layer can go back to doing what it was designed to do.

Directions: Smooth a pumpful of oil cleanser all over your face, massaging for several minutes or until all dirt is loosened. Soak a clean facecloth in warm water and spread over face, gently sweeping away cleanser until all traces of grime and make-up are removed. Repeat as desired. Follow with a tonic, serum and facial oil of your choice.
