Washing the face daily should form a daily habit for flawless, smooth and baby soft skin.

Start off face cleaning by removing makeup! Before washing the face, make sure to take the makeup off first with wipes, this way deep cleansing is possible, this is necessary because some/most makeup are waterproof and washing casually may not take off the entire product or leave them blocking pores.

1. Pack Hair Away From The Face

The first thing to do before removing makeup is to get hair out of the way. For weave or any form of long hair pack away from the face so it doesn't get in the way. (Hair should be packed away from the face as much as possible to avoid breakouts, irritations and more of the  delicate facial skin)

2. Remove Every Makeup Product.

This is usually done with cleansing pads or baby wipes. They help remove products to allow soap/gel penetrate the skin to remove what's left of the makeup on the face.
