Step 2 Exfoliate – removes dead skin cells to expose new and glowing skin; you can exfoliate 3-4 times a week; depending on your skin

Step 3 Toner – helps deep clean your pores; aids in returning the PH balance back to the skin after exfoliating; witch hazel is a great toner; if you have sensitive skin you can use rose water

Step 4 Serum – this is the treatment stage; apply serum to trouble areas/dark spots or all over the face

Step 5 Eye serum/eye cream - under eye treatment for dark circles and puffiness
