The Simple Secret of Double Cleanse & Your Homecare Routines

Gentle Cleansing Oil.

This step only require to do at night. Begin your 1st cleanse with cleansing oil. Dispense 2 pumps of cleansing oil on dry palm of the hand, and spread the product on dry skin, whether you have makeup or on bare face. After that, wet your hands with water and massage it all over your face for ONE full minute. The cleansing oil should change onto whitish milky fluid. If not, wet your hands again with water. After one minute, rinse off the skin with room temperature water. Now your skin should be ready for the second cleanse as described below in step 2.

Your Prescription Cleanser.

This would be your 2nd cleanser. Dispense your prescription cleanser about 1 or 2 pumps onto your hand. Certain types of cleansers such as gel formula must be mixed with water to create foaming and other types such as cream or lotion formula can apply by spreading the product onto the skin. Whichever formula you are using, water always added to give the 'slip' on the skin ensuring the product glides well to cleanse the skin. Massage it all over face, neck, decolletage, and don't forget the back of your ears as well for ONE full minute. Rinse well with room temperature water. Pat dry the skin. Ready for step 3.

Toning

Toning after cleansing has many benefits for your skin. Its prep your skin prior the application of your treatment serums so you can save money rather than using too much product of serums (on damp skin, you can save about half of the amount of serum usage). Toning is also the last resort to pick up anything left after double cleanse with cleanser. And if your toner contain ingredients such as AHA or BHA or both, it gently exfoliate the top layers of dead skin cells, to maximise the treatment serums for better penetration. You may use toner straight onto your skin or we prefer to saturated cotton pads then wipe all over the cleansed skin. And thats a double cleansing method.

Just be mindful, do the double cleansing at night time. In the morning, you only require to do cleanse once.

Prescription Vitamin A

This step only require to do at night. Due to our best interest for our patients and the advanced corrective skin treatments we are providing, 99% of our patients required to use the Tretinoin 0.05% in cream. That's the reason we are working hand-in-hand with medical practitioners who can prescribe you with this high potency of vitamin A. It helps speeding up the cellular turnover, normalised the abnormal cells function, cut-down in half your recovery down time after non-invasive procedures, prep your skin prior skin resurfacing, and maximise your results.

Treatment Serums

The reason serums prices are more expensive is because serums are products designed to penetrate your skin barrier with smaller molecular sizes to target whatever skin concerns you might have. The application of serums should not difficult and your professional skin therapist should have advised you for this. General rules, apply all water-based serums first, wait until it all absorbed, then follow by oil-based serums.

Treatment Cream

Also known as moisturiser. Unless your skin has specific requirements, any moisturiser should do the job which is to locked-in the treatment serums from evaporating. For day time, always finish up with daily sunscreen with minimal SPF30+ as recommended by Australian Cancer Council, and at night you can skip sunscreen.

By doing it the right way, you should see good result of your skin within 7 days.
