Prepare
Use a headband or hair tie to ensure your hair is pulled back from your face. Make Sure your neck is accessible and we recommend wearing a robe to get you in the spa spirit oh and make sure you don’t get any product on your clothes!
Step One
Sensitive Skin Cleanser
Apply a small quantity of Pevonia’s Sensitive Skin Cleanser over your face and neck; work it with fingertips for a good 20-30 seconds. Remove with a washcloth or micro-fibre cloth wet with warm water. Pat dry with a clean towel.
This soothing and calming light-textured, creamy cleanser is great for all skin types, not just those with skin sensitivities!
Step Two
Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser
Next, it’s time to gently exfoliate your skin to remove all those dead skin cells and any additional toxins and debris remaining on the skin.
Apply a small quantity (about the size of a grape) of Pevonia’s Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser over your face and neck and work with wet fingertips for 1-2 minutes. It gently polishes skin with its unique creamy, granular texture, formulated with Jojoba beads, Saponaria and Chamomile. Rinse with warm water and pat dry with a towel. Enjoy the results as your skin resurfaces smoother, softer and crystal clean every time! Heaven.
Step Three
De-Stress Escape Aromatic Oil
Apply 2-3 drops of Pevonia’s NEW De-Stress Aromatic Face Oil into the palm of your hand and spread the oil over both hands. Breathe in the heavenly scent of four essential oils – rose, chamomile, grapefruit, and lavender as you take five deep breaths. Press your hands to your face and neck to distribute the oil, then use your fingers to gently spread the oils evenly. Perform a 5-10 minute massage. A very important component of the facial due to its numerous benefits.
