Step 1: cleanse

All grooming routines should start with a cleanser, cos not only does it get rid of dirt and other impurities, but also preps your skin for a better, closer shave. Elemis has basically designed a smoothie for your face – srsly, check out these ingredients: wheatgrass, avocado, broccoli, kale. That’s one way to get more greens, right?
