Irritated skin can accelerate facial ageing. washing the face with a gentle cleanser at the end of the day will remove any damaging bacteria, excess oil and dirt.

Exfoliation can be beneficial to the skin. It removes dead skin cells. It is important to choose and use the correct exfoliating product. Regular exfoliation does not necessarily be harsh.

Moisturize
