Before beginning the Foundation Pack,  please take note of these important points below:

   Each product within the customized Foundation Pack has a number relating to their order of usage. For absorption to take place, deep cleansing (Face & Body Cleanser)  must come before oxygenating and prepping the skin (OxyToner). Only then can we attempt to hydrate the skin with the Phyto Moisturizer. These three steps optimize the hydration effect and absorption rate. Processing active nutrition requires oxygen and water for a metabolic process to take place... so once the skin has been well wetted by the OxyToner and Phyto, any serum can then be applied (step 4). This parallels how the body naturally sustains itself in order of importance: we breathe, we drink, we nourish.

   The effectiveness of Zenbiotic natural skin care is largely dependant upon its high absorption rate. Anything that acts as a barrier may obstruct the process. (i.e. soaps that leave residue or dry out the skin, not cleansing beforehand, or use of common commercial creams that remain on the surface of skin, etc.)

   Remember that any serum is not a moisturizer, but rather, very potent nutirion; use the volume of one drop of water for your entire face. Overuse of any serum, especially the Cell Renewal Serum, may not be beneficial for your skin and may, if fact, accelerate or perpetuate a detoxification process. See "Important Note on the Cell Renewal Serum" below.

Applying the products, the quick two-minute procedure:

   Use the Face & Body Cleanser in the shower. At night, wash face and pat dry.

   Spray the OxyToner about 8 - 10 times or until skin is heavily moist if almost dripping. Conserve by spraying close to skin. Smoothe in. Your skin should feel slightly slippery if the right pH is achieved. Repeat the step otherwise. After smoothing in, leave skin well moistened but not too wet.

Note: For deeper cleansing after the Face & Body Cleanser, first saturate a cotton pad with the OxyToner and wipe face. For eye make-up removal, hold the saturated pad to eye for a few seconds, and then gently rotate. Then follow the second step above.

   Hydrate the skin with the Phyto-Moisturizer by spraying 3 to 5 times two inches away on wet skin. Spraying close to skin ensures conservation. Smoothe in again but leave skin well moistened.

   Dab onto your moistened skin the volume of 2 drops of water of any serum FOR THE ENTIRE FACE. A well-moistened face ensures that the small amount of serum is well distributed. For the first 3 weeks, use the Serums every other day applying just once a day (either morning or evening). If too much of the serum was used or if your skin is not sufficiently moistened, re-apply the OxyToner and wipe away a bit of the excess.

         Smooth everything into the skin all at once by gentle massage and light tapping. 

A note on exfoliation:

Exfoliation is the process of ridding the skin of dead and dulling cells. Although exfoliating once a week may initially help your skin to better absorb Zenbiotic products, over-exfoliation is not healthy for skin, nor is it necessary once your skin adjusts to the products. After 4 - 8 weeks, exfoliating once or twice a month is adequate if you feel its necessary.

Splash face with water then mix 1/3 to 1/2 a tea spoon of baking soda and a Dime sized amount of the Face & Body Cleanser in your palm to form a paste, very gently smooth over your entire face for one minute, no longer, and rinse thoroughly. Apply plenty of the OxyToner Skin Prep and proceed with your usual routine.

Important Note on the Cell Renewal Serum:

If you have used the right amount of Serum, your skin should feel refreshed, moist, and supple with just the slightest sense of the Serum. If your face feels greasy, then you have probably used too much. The Cell Renewal Serum is not a moisturizer. Using too much product may overwhelm and potentially stress the skin cells just like overeating food overwhelms the digestive system.

A feeling of sticky or greasy skin is the first sign of over-usage or the fact that your skin has not yet adjusted to the amount of nutrition you giving it. Continuing to use too much may result in an acceleration of the detoxification process, breakouts, and sensitive skin. Wipe off excess serum by wetting with the OxyToner first. Consult the "Supplemental Guide" section in back if any issues occur.
