Special Tips
Makeup
Some people find that makeup foundation contributes to clogged pores and other skin problems. When you use Natique, once your skin has normalized, you may find that you do not need to use foundation at all. As your skin begins to normalize, and blackheads and whiteheads are removed from the pore areas, you should notice that your pores begin to close. As darkened dead tissues exfoliate from the areas under your eyes, dark circles should diminish. The healthy glow Natique provides will convince others that you are wearing foundation and cheek color.
Oily Skin
If your skin is extremely oily and prone to breakouts, you should apply Protective Lotion (Step 4) and allow it to dry thoroughly before applying Ultra Enriched Conditioner (Step 3). Do not be alarmed if your skin becomes more oily before it begins to normalize. If oiliness occurs when your skin is normalizing, immerse a cotton ball in water, squeeze it dry, saturate it with Protective Lotion, and gently pat the oily area. Continue to apply the Protective Lotion as desired.
Dry Skin
If you have dry skin, be particularly careful to remove all traces of Lathering Cleanser and consider using Step 2 only once a day. As it normalizes, your skin may get drier and even slough dramatically. After finishing Step 4, you may apply a light covering of Ultra Enriched Conditioner for moisturizing.
Acne
Apply a small amount of undiluted Lathering Cleanser directly to the breakout and leave on for several minutes. Be sure to apply undiluted Lathering Cleanser only to the breakout area. You may wish to use a cotton-tipped applicator for this purpose. After several minutes, remove Lathering Cleanser thoroughly.
Breakouts
Cleanliness is especially important if you are subject to breakouts. Be sure your washcloths and towels are used only once until the eruption subsides. change pillowcases daily. Do not apply Enriched Ultra Conditioner to areas that are broken or weeping. Treat these areas with a small amount of undiluted Lathering Cleanser as suggested above for acne. Apply Protective Lotion during the day and always remember to wash your hands before touching the affected area.
Whiteheads
After Step 1, apply a small amount of undiluted Lathering Cleanser to whiteheads. Then, use a warm, damp washcloth to gently press and massage the area. Rinse thoroughly, splash with water, and continue with Step 2.
Shaving
To use Natique in conjunction with shaving, complete Steps 1, 2 and use a sufficient amount of Step 3 for shaving. If you use a blade, you can shave immediately. If you use an electric shaver, wait a few moments before beginning. Once you finish shaving, rinse and dry the skin, and then re-apply Step 3 and continue to Step 4. When used as directed, Enriched Ultra Conditioner should not clog your shaver. A few drops of Lathering Cleanser mixed with warm water make an excellent solution for cleaning the head of your electric shaver.
Other Uses
Colloidal Cleanser is an excellent skin softener for body and hands. Use it as a general moisturizer especially during cold, dry and windy weather. Enriched Ultra Conditioner may be applied before and during exposure to the sun to help prevent the severe drying and aging action the sun’s rays have on your skin.
