How to use
Your Post-Cleansing Ritual
In AM and PM, after cleansing, apply 2-3 pumps of Sake Toning Essence to face and neck with your hands, a cotton pad, or gauze for mild exfoliation. Start with the middle portion of the face and move upward and outward, paying special attention to the T-zone or areas where excessive sebum, clogged pores, and congestion are common. Avoid tugging and rubbing. Start in the PM to allow your skin to acclimate and build up to AM use if desired.
