Step 1:
Cleanse

Use a gentle face cleanser or soap and wash. Make sure that you don’t scrub your face. Rinse with plenty of warm water and then pat it dry.
Skin cleansing helps to remove the sweat, oil, dirt and other harmful pollutants.

Exfoliate
Exfoliation is the key to a radiant and glowing skin. After cleansing, use an exfoliation lotion to remove the dead skin cells. Most dermatologists advice to exfoliate one to three times in a week, depending on your skin type.
Exfoliating removes these dead skin cells that has accumulated in the pores. And this step is a must if you have blackheads, acne or breakouts.

Keep in mind to choose a moisturizer according to your skin type- be it cream, gel, oil or lotion. Gently rub it on to the skin in an upward motion.
Moisturizing the skin gives your skin a smooth, luminous appearance.
