The first step in a Dr. Hauschka Skin Care regime.
Hydrating and compressing your skin softens the pores and prepares it for cleansing so that impurities are easily removed, leaving your skin feeling rejuvenated. This kit contains an 80cm square Organic Cotton compress cloth along with step by step instructions.
Moisten the muslin in a basin of warm water. If you like, you can infuse the water with a few drops of any Dr. Hauschka bath essence to suit your mood and let the fragrance uplift you as you apply the compress to your face. Applying a warm compress softens pores allowing for a deeper cleansing and is also extremely beneficial prior to applying a mask. Applying a cool compress, or splashing skin with cold water after cleansing helps to contract a minute muscle to complete the cleansing process and helps to keep your skin feeling lovely and soft without harsh exfoliation.
Usage:
1. Fill a basin with warm water.
2. Add a little of your favourite Dr. Hauschka Bath Essence.
3. Fold the compress cloth and place in the water.
4. Squeeze out excess water and wrap the cloth over the whole face.
5. Gently hold your hands along the jaw line, then up over the eye and forehead area.
6. This action stimulates the lymphatic system which is very important for healthy skin.
7. Hold the cloth on the face for 30 seconds, while inhaling the aroma that is released.
8. Repeat this process 3 times before cleansing.
Dr Hauschka Organic Cotton Face Compress Cloth, your questions answered
Q1. Why use a dedicated face cloth rather than a regular flannel or towel?
Regular towels and flannels harbour bacteria after use, particularly in shared bathrooms, and the fibres can be too rough for delicate facial skin. A dedicated face cloth used once and then washed reduces that bacterial load significantly.
Organic cotton is softer than conventional cotton and free from pesticide residues, which matters particularly for skin used around the eye area.
Q2. How do I use it with Dr Hauschka cleansers?
Wet the cloth with warm water, apply your cleanser to the face, then use the warm damp cloth to gently remove cleanser using circular motions. The warmth helps open pores and the cloth removes cleanser more thoroughly than rinsing alone.
Q3. How do I clean and store it?
Rinse after each use and allow to dry completely. Wash regularly at a high temperature to kill bacteria. Replace when the cloth becomes worn or discoloured.
Q4. Is it suitable for the eye area?
Use it gently around the orbital bone to remove cleanser. Avoid rubbing directly over the eyelid and lash line.
Q5. Why is this stocked at Eyehouse?
Tools used on the face near the eye area should be as clean and non-irritating as possible. The same standards we apply to products apply to accessories.
