Kojic Acid - Despite having the word ‘acid’ in the name, it is not an exfoliator. Naturally derived from mushrooms, Kojic Acid is a depigmenting agent that gently clarifies and evens the complexion. Instead of chemically exfoliating away the outermost layer of mottled skin - it works by suppressing melanin overproduction - effectively targeting hyperpigmentation caused by sun damage, acne marks and preventing future dark spots - to establish a brighter and more even skin tone.

Cleanser should be used as the first step in the skin routine, both in the morning and at night. If you are removing makeup - double cleanse to remove all traces of impurities.

It is essential to start your skincare routine with a facial cleanser to remove dirt, oil, and impurities that have accumulated on the skin overnight or throughout the day. By starting with a clean canvas, your skin will be better prepared to absorb the benefits of the subsequent skincare products, such as toners, serums and moisturisers - promoting healthier and clearer skin over time.

1. Prepare: Begin by wetting your hands, face, neck and décolleté with lukewarm water. This helps to create a suitable environment for the cleanser to work its magic.

2. Dispense: Take a small amount of the facial cleanser onto your fingertips or palm.

3. Massage: Gently massage the cleanser onto your skin using a gentle sweeping motion. Start from the center of your face and work your way outwards, focusing on areas such as the forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin. Extend the massage to your neck and décolleté as well, as these areas also benefit from cleansing.

4. Be gentle: While massaging, use light pressure and avoid aggressive scrubbing. Treat your skin with care to avoid any irritation or damage.

5. Rinse: After massaging the cleanser onto your skin, thoroughly rinse off with lukewarm water. Ensure that all traces of the cleanser are removed from your face, neck, and décolleté.

6. Pat dry: Gently pat your skin dry with a soft towel. Avoid rubbing harshly, as this can cause unnecessary friction and irritation.

7. Follow up: Complete your skincare routine by applying toner, serum, moisturiser, and any other products that suit your specific needs. Cleansing prepares your skin for better absorption of subsequent products, maximising their benefits.
