Why use a three step skin care system?

Three step systems are common with many skin care brands and involve a cleanser and mosituriser to start and finish, and a step in the middle which may be called a toner, conditioner, re-balancer or other name.

Miessence has a three step system which involves the following:

Step 1: Cleanse
Cleansing removes the top layer of dead cells, oil, perspiration and pollution. If your skin is not cleansed properly it becomes dull, flaky and the oil glands block up with dirt and cellular waste, causing breakouts and congestion. Miessence cleansers are a world first because they use yucca juice to cleanse, not soaps or detergents. Yucca juice contains natural plant saponins that gently remove dirt and oils on your skin. Miessence cleansers contain organic cold pressed, unrefined plant oils to soothe and nourish your skin, and organic herbal extracts and essential oils to suit your skin type.

You will need:
• Cleansing cloths or face washer
• Cotton pads
• A bowl of warm water (ceramic or glass)
• Cleanser (balancing, rejuvenating, purifying or soothing)

Gently press the face with a warm (never hot), soft cleansing cloth to open pores and soften the surface of the
skin cells. Apply 2 pumps of cleanser to the palm of your hand and massage gently into the face and neck. Remove gently with water and cotton pads. If wearing make-up, a second cleanse is necessary. (First one to
remove makeup, the second to cleanse the skin).


Step 2: Skin Conditioner
Skin conditioning is a vital step in the Miessence skin care regime. Conditioning has a two fold purpose; firstly to feed the skin with nutrients in the water soluble botanicals, organic herbs and essential oils, and secondly, to provide a hydration base for the moisturiser to lock in. Miessence skin conditioners contain organic herbal extracts and essential oils to suit your skin type.

You will need:
• Skin Conditioner (balancing, rejuvenating, purifying or soothing)

On clean moist skin, massage 1-2 pumps of conditioner gently onto face, throat and décolleté. Leave for a few seconds to absorb into skin before moisturising.

Step 3: Moisturise
This step creates a protective barrier against free radicals and moisture loss (one of the main causes of wrinkles). The special ingredients in our unique organic base have demonstrated significant and lasting effects on skin hydration and smoothness, and have shown to actively restore and strengthen damaged skin. Miessence moisturisers contain organic cold pressed unrefined seed oils and butters to soften the skin and increase elasticity. Our unique anti-wrinkle olive extract protects from free radical damage and aids in the formation of healthy new skin cells, while neutralising the effect of environmental pollutants and toxins. Organic herbals extracts and essential oils are incorporated for each individual skin type.

You will need:
• Moisturiser (balancing, rejuvenating, purifying or soothing)

Apply 1 pump of your moisturiser to the palm of your hand and warm to skin temperature. Pat and press gently onto your face, throat and décolleté.
