- Warm the cream between your hands to bring it up to skin temperature. Apply it over the entire surface of your hands, from the centre of the face in an outward direction. Make gentle circular movements over the forehead, cheeks and jawline to allow cream to be absorbed.

- Next press on the pressure points, starting from the centre of the face and working in an outward direction. Follow the line  working along each on three times. Over the forehead, over the eyebrows, under the eyes, from the bridges of the nose, under and the contour of the lips finishing by massaging the temples

- Then for 30 seconds, make small pinching movements with your fingertips all of the face paying particular attention to the forehead cheekbones and temples of the cheek and facial contours.

To finish very gently stretch the face with the entire surface of your hands in an outward direction.

Step 3. Face Mask

The Raspberry Foaming Mask starts as a powder that is meant to transform into a luscious foaming mask making your skin soft and refreshed.

But as the process had been good up to this point I decided this was a small flaw and there was enough product for a mask.

 








So apply the mask (Even if it is not much) using the spatula to your face and neck and leave for 10 minutes then rinse off with water.
