most of the oil is gone. this step allows u to remove ur make up and most of the pollution accumulated on ur skin during the day. choose ur oil carefully (more information at the end of the thread on which products to use based on ur skin type)
♡ step 2 : cleansing gel/foam
i use this one because the ph is low and won't hurt ur face but u can use any low ph alternative ! this will allow u to remove any remainings of make up or oil from the previous step. humidify ur face, apply the gel on ur face and rub lightly-

then wash it off with lukewarm water ! (can be used for any skin type)
♡ step 3 : toner
removes any impurity stuck in ur pores after u washed ur face and will help to tighten ur pores. it also helps to calm ur skin and prepare it for the next step ! here's the one i use but feel free to find one that suits u :>

put a little bit in ur hands and pat ur face with ur hands to apply the toner. DONT RUB, PAT ! (can be used for any skin type)
♡ step 4 : flower/floral water
is used to soothe, calm and cool ur skin after a long and harsh day with pollution and make up ! it is especially important if ur skin is sensitive, problematic or dry. i often use rose or orange blossom ones :D

it often comes with a spray so just spray it all over ur face and let it dry naturally or if ur in a hurry pat ur skin it'll make it dry faster !
♡ step 5 : serum
help to brighten ur skin, reduce blemishes, boost hydratation and even prevent aging ! there are many different ones so chose one that suits u :) to apply it, put about 4 to 5 drops on ur face and pat to apply it evenly and make ur face absorb it !

♡ step 6 : facial cream
acts as a protective barrier for ur skin but also helps moisturize and helps to keep the elasticity of the skin. i use a hydratating one because i have really dry skin but also use this one :)
