WHAT IS A GOOD SKINCARE REGIME?
The BIODROGA product ranges offer the ideal care for your skin.
STEP 1 - CLEANSE
The first step in your face care routine is cleansing. It helps to free your skin from make-up, dirt and grime, by cleansing gently and thoroughly.
STEP 2 - TONE
The second step is the face toner. It removes all cleanser residues, freshens the skin and prepares it for the following skincare steps.
STEP 3 - SERUM
The serum is the third step in your routine. It provides the skin with important "nourishment" which the skin can absorb directly.
Use a moisturiser which suits your skin type
