The facial for skin that is dry, dull or rough to the touch. Gentle exfoliation to clear what is sitting on the surface, then deep replenishment of moisture.
The order matters. Dry skin is usually also congested with dead cells, and applying hydration on top of that layer is why so many people feel like their moisturizer stops working. Clear the surface first and the same products suddenly perform.
Skin comes away dewy rather than tight, with softened texture and a visible difference in how it holds light.
