How to wash Your Face!!!

Hello!  I'm back after a 2 week siesta.  This posts topic is about (I think) the best way to wash your face.
Very simple and not time consuming.  First I would recommend getting a soft cosmetic facial brush. You can get one at Whole Foods-they are about 2" in diameter.  They are very soft and won't rub your skin raw.  The main concern is not to disturb the skin while getting it clean.
1-Start by dry brushing your face gently. This removes dead skin and makes way for renewal.
2-Use a mild soap-such as my glycerin soap that has no harmful foaming agents and is non-drying.  My soap also has essential oils that are beneficial for facial care.  Suds are needed to lift debris.  Suds up the soap and apply to face, while also using the soft cosmetic brush.  Rinse with warm-NOT hot-water many times and finish with a cold cold rinse-3 times at least-to close the pores.
3-If you must use a toner (they are harsh & change the pH of your face) use rose water in a spray mister.
4-Apply moisturizer while skin is still slightly moist.
There you have it!!!  Rocket science in a blog.
So long for now and happy washing, happy skin, and happy life!!!
