What is CTM ?
CTM is stands for Cleansing, Toning, Moisturizing. These basically a very basic skincare routine, starting with a good cleanser, then clean up with a good toner for further clean out the pores and tight it up, and hydrating with a good moisturizer. If you keep up with this 3 steps basic CTM, you will have a good, healthy, and glow skin.
Steps for basic CTM (Without Makeup)
Steps 1 - Cleansing
Splash out water to your face, a room temperature water is preferable. Avoid too cold and too hot water since it will give your skin very dry and tight.
Apply the cleanser, you may use any brand, apply gently throughout your face and slightly massage it. Avoid eyes area.
take a time to clean up small area such as around nose, the hair line, and under the jaw where usually dust hide.
Step 2 - Toning
Take a round soft cotton which I recommend for you, since it has soft and easy to grip. Soak it with toner, it can be any brand you have at home. Gently apply it all over your face, again avoid around eyes area.
2. Toner balance the pH level of your skin and it can be beneficial for your skin for the next step for applying skincare.
Step 3 - Moisturizing
CTM is incomplete without moisturizer
Take a finger tip amount of moisturizer, any kind of brand you have.
Gently apply it all over your face, avoid around eye area. Dab and slightly massage it all around your face.
