Cleanser 1

Foaming techniques

  • Wash your hands with soap before using DR’s Secret Cleanser 1. This will help to remove oil and dirt, which makes for easier foaming.
  • Lather the gel cleanser into a foam by adding small amounts of water while massaging with light circular strokes.
  • Using too much strength or rubbing too hard will make it harder to foam.

Sunscreen protection

  • Use DR’s Secret Sunscreen 5 for dry to normal skin for a dewy glow.
