1. Prepare yourself  

It's imperative that your hands are completely clean before you begin otherwise you could be adding more impurities to your face than were originally there. It is also important that you tie your hair back to reveal all corners of your face. Not only does this ensure you don't miss areas but it also keeps the cream off your hair.

2. Choosing a cleanser  

There are literally hundreds of different cleansers on the market today so it can be difficult to know which one is right for you. If you have sensitive skin or an excessively dry or oily complexion you should opt for one of the specialist organic products for your skin type. However, for everybody else the best advice is to go for the organic cleanser that you actually like best and feel the most comfortable using.

3. The Procedure

If you want to do it properly, it is not just a case of slap it on and wash it off. There are certain steps you need to follow: 

- gently apply the organic cleanser all over your face and neck (don't forget the neck or you will regret it when you are older). Then slowly massage the cream into your skin with your fingertips. Take particular care around the sensitive area of skin under your eyes.

- always leave the cleanser on for a minute or two to give it sufficient time to absorb all that dirt, make-up and whatever else has made its way onto your face.

- dampen your organic cotton wool with an organic toner or your facecloth with warm water and then very gently rub your face to remove the remaining substance. You should repeat this process until your face free from grime.

4. Cutting corners  

Ideally you should cleanse you face twice a day - once in the morning and once at night. If you don't always have the time or patience to do this you should sacrifice the morning application. This is because your evening cleanse involves removing your make-up and all the grime you've picked up on your adventures during the day.
