• Don't experiment with your skin by using any new beauty product available in the market. While using moisturizers, cleansers or exfoliates don't rub too vigorously - you don't want to over treat or oversensitive your skin. It's important to recognize that by gently slipping the product across your face in upward circular motions, you're stimulating the granular ingredients to do the work for you, as they were designed to do.
