Dehydration often stems from stagnation in the skin and a compromised barrier that does not allow for the balanced production of your own natural oils or absorption of your moisturizers. Proper exfoliation is key. If you are particularly sensitive, leave this treatment for just once weekly, brushing it on gently. Allow to sit for a minute or two, and rinse in the shower, or by splashing face with warm water to release the formula gently without rubbing or scrubbing; also avoiding face cloths. Immediately follow with The Youth Dew and/or The Blue Cocoon - this is vital, as The Clean Dirt essentially provides a gentle resurfacing of your complexion, allowing for the deepest, most effective penetration of your other treats. You will want to apply your oils while skin is still warm, wet, and fully receptive for the ultimate benefit.
