Posted on: July 16, 2014
If you do not have the time to go into the spa, you can relax at home according to your schedule by performing an at-home facial. Facials are great for the skin and can help ward off acne and provide you with soft and luxurious skin. These 5 simple steps will help you perform a facial at-home and you will be on your way to soft and luxurious skin.
Clean
To begin the facial process, you will need to clean your face. Use a gentle cleanser that is designed for your skin type. You should use small circular motions when washing your face and once done, rinse off with lukewarm water.
Exfoliate
Now it is time to exfoliate your skin. This will remove any dead skin cells and dirt from your pores. You should use a gentle exfoliator. When exfoliating your face, avoid using harsh and deep movements as this can scratch your skin. You should use soft circular movements. Once done exfoliating, rinse off. Target your cheeks, forehead, nose, and chin.
Steaming
You will want to give your face a steam bath. If you do not have a steamer in your home, using a warm wash cloth or leaning over a hot sink will help open up your pores. If using a wash cloth, soak the cloth in water and then dab on your face. You can add aromatherapy drops to the water to help calm and relax you as you steam your face.
Facial Mask
Now it is time to apply the facial mask. You can choose from different products, but you should avoid scented products with harsh chemicals. Choosing a mask designed for your skin will help reduce your risk of irritation as well. Apply the facial mask to your face and then allow the mask to sit for up to 30 minutes. After time has passed, gently rinse off the mask and pat your face dry.
Moisturize
You must moisturize after you have performed a facial treatment to your face. The moisturizer helps hydrate your skin to keep it feeling soft and smooth.
