Thorough cleansing is the first and most important step in any skin care program. Deep cleansing is recommended twice a day, in the morning and at night. This assures removal of surface impurities, the rest of makeup and excessive oiliness.

Ideal cleansing is completed by application of a toner or refreshing lotion. This kind of products prepare the skin for the use of moisturizers and lubricants.

The last basic step is to apply a good moisturizer, which will keep your skin soft, and protect it from the aggressive environmental assaults that it's exposed every day.

Be sure to clean your face thoroughly before going to bed at night and apply a good night time moisturizer.

Thanks for summing it up. I wasn't quite sure what toner was but you answered my questions. I usually just wash and apply moisturizer but lately I've been breaking out due to the heat so I'm trying some news facial rememdies.
