Enzymes need time to work to dissolve the dead skin cells, so you need to provide a good 30 seconds time to massage the cleanser into the skin. It is good to use the cleanser and scrub in the shower as steam helps the enzymes do their work. Three nights a week or so, moisten hands with water, place a quarter size amount of the Enzyme Cleanser into your hand and add a few drops of the Enzyme Scrub to this. Gently massage this mixture into the skin for at least 30 seconds. Rinse thoroughly with water, sponge or facecloth. Be careful to keep out of the eyes. Prior to shaving, mix a few drops of the Enzyme Scrub into the cleanser, massage in for 30 seconds, rinse and apply your shaving cream or use your electric razor. When using the scrub before shaving it results in a cleaner, smoother and easier shave. Some men are able to go from a 3 blade to a single blade without nicking the skin!
