Grab your favorite robe and fuzzy slippers and let the relaxation begin! Step One: Cleanse I recommend using a foaming cleanser to really thoroughly cleanse the skin and prep it for exfoliation.

Happy Friday loves! And happy November! I’m so excited to share a device with you that I have recently tried and LOVE! I want to introduce you to the NowMi Pro device.
