No matter how complex or how simple of a skincare routine you have, cleansing, toning and hydrating the skin are the core tenets that lay the foundation for a good routine. Utilizing high-quality, active products for each of these steps will ensure your skin is purified, radiant and nourished.
Step 1: Cleanse
Cleansing is the basic building block of any skincare routine and arguably the most important step. Regular cleansing keeps your skin purified, balanced and prepares it for the rest of your routine. Don’t forget to double-cleanse in the evening to make sure you are effectively removing any makeup, sunscreen or pollutants from the day!

Try incorporating Cerabalm as your first cleanse in the evening to melt away the day. Pair it with the dual washcloth, which is essential for the double cleanse.

How to use the Dual Washcloth:
- Apply a pea-sized amount of Cerabalm to a cotton pad or directly on dry skin to remove makeup and impurities from the skin
- Dampen your dual washcloth and use the terry side for a gentle exfoliation as you remove product residue and grime from the day
- Apply your second cleanser (either Cerabalm or Lait VIP O2) and massage into the skin
- Use the muslin side to buff the skin and more thoroughly clean your complexion
Step 2: Tone
A toner is going to be your second step in both your morning and evening skincare routine. After cleansing, follow with a toner to balance the skin’s pH levels, boost hydration, promote cell turnover and prepare it for the last step.

This is a more gentle formula that focuses on epidermal renewal, exfoliating and brightening the complexion.
