Your Skin 1 : Clean And Clear

Aubrey: You have such clear skin!

Grace: Why thank you. I have an excellent 2 dermatologist 3 .

Aubrey: Then I should see your doctor because my soap isn't cleaning my face well.

Grace: That's because soap 4 is harsh 5 .

Aubrey: So how do you prevent 6 acne 7 ?

Grace: I follow a strict 8 skin care regimen 9 .

Aubrey: What does it involve 10 ?

Grace: Every morning I wash my face with a cleanser 11 and rinse 12 with a toner 13 . The toner keeps my skin color even. Then I apply moisturizer 14 .

Aubrey: And in the evening?

Grace: I use an astringent 15 to get the dirt from the day out of my pores 16 .

Aubrey: All those products sound expensive.

Grace: It's a small price to pay for nice skin.
