How To Use Dermalogica Clearing Skin Wash

1. Work a pea-sized amount into a lather in wet hands.
2. Apply to dampened face and neck, massaging in circular motions while concentrating on areas of congestion and oiliness. Avoid eye area.
3. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. If bothersome dryness or peeling occurs, reduce application to once a day or every other day.

Pro Tip (from estheticians): Focus your massage on the T-zone and areas of active congestion, then rinse well—over-scrubbing can leave breakout-prone skin feeling tight.
