How to exfoliate your skin
- Cleanse the face using gentle upward and outward movements
- Remove the cleanser with damp cotton wool pads
- Tone the skin with a mild toning lotion (eg rosewater) applied to damp cotton pads
- Apply a thick layer of moisturising cream to skin
- Coat the fingertips with sugar from the saucer, and gently work over the skin, avoiding the eyes at all times
- As the skin heats, and the sugar softens, apply a slightly firmer pressure over the skin, paying attention to nose and chin areas. A gentle pressure is needed over bony areas e.g. forehead
- Massage for 5 - 10 minutes
- Gently remove with damp cotton pads, taking care not to scrape the skin
