Beginning at the Basics – The Six Magic Steps to Great Skin

Now let’s discuss about how to get started with your home facial.
  • Cleanse: The first step is to cleanse your skin with a gentle cleansing lotion. Apply the lotion in a circular motion on your face and throat, extending up to your hairline. Gently massage the lotion into the skin and cleanse with cotton buds. Dry your skin with a facecloth.

  • Ex foliate: Next, scrub your face gently with a grain based facial scrub. Oatmeal or apricot works best. Pay attention to the forehead area and to the area surrounding the nose. If you have combination skin, concentrate on the oily areas. Finally, rinse the face with lukewarm water.

  • Steam: Steaming your face is necessary for improved blood circulation, for removing toxins, opening follicles and for softening the skin. Take a large bowl and fill it with boiling water. Drop mint, calendula or lavender for dry skin or witch hazel, mint, rose or lavender for oily skin. Chamomile, comfrey or calendula is ideal for sensitive skin. Now lean your face over the bowl an cover your head with a towel. Hold your face at least 15 to 24 inches away from the water. If you have open pores or sensitive skin, then you should keep your face further away from the water. Hold the face above the bowl for at least five minutes.

  • Face Masks: Then apply a home made mask on your face. Masks remove oil and impurities from deep within the skin. Remember a clay based pack is good for oily skin. You should choose a cream or gel mask for dry skin. Do not apply the mask around the eye portion. Face mask recipes are discussed in detail below. After application of the mask, place cotton buds over the eyes and leave on the mask for 10 to 15 minutes.

  • Toning: Toning is good for removing dead cells from your skin as well as mask residue. Aloe vera an witch hazel are the favorites. Apply the toner in gentle upward strokes.

  • Moisturizing: Apply a moisturizing lotion that suits your skin type. Do not exclude the eye area. Rosehip seed oil and shea butter are good options. Do not use any lotions that contain mineral oil. Massage your face with the cream.
So, pamper your skin with a facial and discover the new 'you'.
