One cloth that works in both directions — warm to soften and open up before cleansing, cold to calm and tighten afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's the least exciting thing we sell and one of the most genuinely useful. Every facialist starts with a warm compress and finishes with a cool one, and this is that, at home, for the price of a coffee and a half.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWarm — before you cleanse\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoak in comfortably hot water and wring it out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePress it over your face for thirty to sixty seconds.

Test it on your wrist first. Heat that's genuinely hot on facial skin can aggravate redness and broken capillaries, and if you have rosacea you should skip the warm function entirely and use it cold only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHygiene — read this bit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA damp cloth that touches your face is a bacterial problem waiting to happen. Rinse it thoroughly after every use, wring it properly, and hang it somewhere it will actually dry. Machine wash it weekly. A cloth left screwed up damp on the side of the bath is worse for your skin than no cloth at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQuestions we get asked\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is this better than a flannel?\u003c\/strong\u003e The weave is softer and finer, so it holds heat longer and doesn't abrade.
