Method(step by step):

These steps are same as the typical Dermacos salon protocol; adjust to your skin’s tolerance.

1. Cleanse (Wash):
   Massage Softening Pome Facial Wash for 60–90s; rinse with lukewarm water. Pat dry.

2. Tone & Prep:
   Sweep Smoothing Toner over face/neck with cotton to rebalance pH and soften debris. No rinse.

3. Exfoliate (Scrub):
   On damp skin, work Guava Glow Scrub in tiny circles for about 2 minutes, avoiding eye area. Mist or add a few drops of water to keep it slippy. Rinse thoroughly. (Brightening actives here are kojic acid, arbutin, azelaic acid & vitamin C.)

4. Deep Cleanse (Balm):
   Apply a thin layer of Hexagonal Cleanser; massage 2–3 minutes for deep-pore cleansing. Emulsify with a little water; remove with a damp towel.

5. (Optional) Steam/Extract:
   If you usually do extractions, steam lightly (3–5 minutes), then gently extract. Skip if you’re sensitive.

6. Spot-treat (Optional):
   Dab Anti-Imperfection Spot Gel only on active pimples; let it sit 5–10 minutes. Wipe excess before next step. (Kaolin, AHA, willow bark, zinc PCA help calm & dry spots.)

7. Brightening Serum:
   Press in Skin Lightening Serum (2–3 pumps). Give it 60–90s to absorb. (Key actives: arbutin & kojic acid.)

8. Massage Cream/Lotion:
   Layer Grey Lotion and perform a 5–8 minute facial massage (upward strokes, light pressure). Tissue off any excess.

9. Mask:
   Apply Phytomer Botanical Whitening Mask in a medium layer; leave on 10–15 minutes. Remove with a damp towel.

10. Finish & Seal:
    Smooth a pea-sized amount of Grey Cream to lock in moisture and radiance. Morning use: finish with a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen.

Tips & safety:

• Patch test new products 24 hours before a full facial—especially with actives like AHA/BHA, kojic acid, arbutin & azelaic acid.

• Frequency: Use the Guava Glow Scrub only 1–2 times per week between facials.

• Sensitive skin: Shorten scrub time, skip steaming/extractions, and keep the mask to 8–10 minutes.

• Sun care: Brightening facials make skin more UV-sensitive. So be careful before sun exposure.

Before the Facial:

• Tie hair back with a soft headband so products don’t mix with hair oils.

• Do a quick double cleanse if you wore heavy makeup or sunscreen.

• Exfoliate gently—don’t rub too hard, let the scrub granules + enzymes do the work.

During the Facial:

• Massage matters: Use slow upward strokes on cheeks and circular motions around the jawline. This improves circulation and boosts glow.

• Stay hydrated: Sip water or green tea while masking—it helps flush toxins.

• Don’t skip the toner: It balances skin pH and allows better penetration of serum & mask.

Pro Glow Tips:

• Add rose water ice cubes (wrap in a thin cloth) after exfoliation for instant tightening.

• Steam for just 2–3 minutes if you have oily skin—it helps open pores for deeper cleansing.

• For sensitive areas (under eyes), apply only toner + Grey Lotion, skip strong actives.

• Consistency matters: Do a full whitening facial once a month; support results weekly with toner, scrub (1–2 times per week), and serum.
