How to use For the face: Lather soap in your palms, apply foam to problem areas of the skin, leave for 20–30 seconds (for a deep effect, up to several minutes) and rinse with warm water. Be sure to apply a moisturizer, as soap dries the skin. For hair: Apply the foam only to the scalp and roots of the hair, without distributing it along the entire length, so as not to overdry the ends. Rinse with room temperature water (not hot). Regularity: For the treatment of problem skin, use 1–2 times a day for up to 1 month. For prevention and normal skin, it is enough to use 1–2 times a week.
