Cleanse: 

Apply product either directly on to your face or on a dampened bamboo round or cotton wool.  Use upwards and outward movements and stroke downwards on the nose area. 

 

Cleanse morning and night.  If you are wearing make-up, or have finished a workout, you may decide to double cleanse.  Rinse and towel dry

​

Tone:

Dampen bamboo rounds/cotton wool and spray your toner on.  As with cleansing use upward and outward strokes.  This will remove any remaining make-up or residue.  Our toners are not alcohol based so they aren't drying or irritating.  They feed the skin!  You can even carry your Toner in your purse and spray on your face throughout the day to keep your skin hydrated!

​

Exfoliate:

It is best to exfoliate 2-3 times a week.  Over exfoliating can stimulate your skin's oil glands and cause breakouts so don't be tempted to over exfoliate.   Exfoliation will ensure dead skin is removed thereby allowing your skins natural oils to reach the surface of your skin (keeping you young) and allowing maximum absorption of your other skincare products.

 

Make sure the exfoliating product you use aren't for use on the body, as the skin on your face, neck and décolleté is thinner and larger granules can cause micro-tears on these delicate areas.  We highly recommend using Viva's Amaze Exfoliating Gel as it doesn't have granules, it is gel based and as you massage, dead skin is removed!  It's fantastic!  

 

Splash your face with water to remove your exfoliator and pat your face dry with a towel

 

Mask:

Once a week it is good to give your skin a nourishing treatment.  Masks have all the nutrients your skin needs to provide it with a healthy glow.   Viva's Hyaluronic Collagen Mask does an outstanding job of providing optimum moisture and collagen boosting properties (plant based).  This sheet mask does wonders for your skin!

 

Serum:

Serums give our skin an added boost.  Viva's Vitamin C can be used at night only as it contains plant oils and has a brightening effect.  Viva's hyaluronic serum can be used during the day and this will ensure your skin holds on to moisture throughout the day (up to 1000 times).  Viva's Antioxidant Serum can be used both morning and night and is packed with antioxidants, keeping your skin youthful!   Apply your serum by massaging into your hands and patting into the skin before your moisturizer.  To save time you can also mix your hyaluronic serum with your moisturizer and apply to your skin.

​

Eye Cream:

It is essential to keep your delicate eye area moisturized.  Eye products are designed to take away puffiness and dark circles around the eyes.  Viva's Firming Eye Cream does an amazing job of keeping the eye area youthful and bright!   Using your ring finger apply in the same direction of your eyebrow hairs rotating your fingers just under your eyebrow, down the sides and on the bone area under your eyes.  Be gentle and don't drag the skin.

​

You can end your facial ritual by giving your face a gentle spray with toner.

​

Facial Massage:

I believe strongly in massaging your facial muscles.  Just like your back, your facial muscles also become tired and fascia becomes tight.  By giving yourself a lovely facial massage at night, it is not only relaxing but it certainly helps relieve muscle tension which can create early ageing.  It also helps iron out existing lines on your face caused by tension.   Viva's Beauty Skin Roller is non invasive and will be a treat for those nights you feel like some extra pampering.     The Facial Beauty Roller also helps with lymphatic drainage and therefore increases blood flow and decreases puffiness.
