  Moisten your hands with water from the sink, and squeeze a dime-sized amount of the Yves Rocher cleansing cream into the palm of your hand. Rub your hands together to make a rich lather.

• 2

  Apply to your face liberally, scrubbing with your fingertips in a circular motion, avoiding the eye and mouth areas.

• 3

  Splash warm water on your face to rinse away the cleansing cream. You may have to repeat this three or four times until all of the residue is rinsed clean.

• 4

  Soak the washcloth in scalding hot water, and then remove it carefully. Let it cool for about three minutes.

• 5

  Apply the warm, moist cloth to your face, and softly scrub with it, making upward strokes.

• 6

  Soak a cotton ball with the pure witch hazel, and gently make upward strokes with it, across the oiliest parts of your face, such as your forehead, chin and cheek areas.

• 7

  Apply the overnight acne cream to the tip of your ring-finger and gently dab the cream onto problematic areas of your skin that are prone to breakouts.
