HOW TO USE:
Apply a full dropper to clean dry skin, and leave on for 10-30 minutes. Wet the French Farmacie muslin cloth with warm water and use to gently polish in a circular motion until the cloth comes away clean. Follow with Sérum Radiant, which soaks in perfectly post-polish. Use 1-3 times a week on alternate days as an exfoliating treatment mask. Graduate to using it as overnight treatment a few times a week for incredible, luminous results.
TIP: Try as an exfoliating lip treatment for très smooth lips.
As with any product or cloth, it's important to be gentle, as over-scrubbing can irritate and disrupt the skin barrier layer. Also, it's best to wash the muslin cloth in between uses as dirty washcloths could spread bacteria back into your skin.
Muslin cloth care instructions: suitable for machine washing. Tumble dry low. No chlorine bleach, and do not iron.
