Give yourself a facial at home with the below tips and tricks.
Giving yourself a facial is the most relaxing and luxurious thing you can do. With our ever-busy lifestyle, it is needed now more than ever. So, queue up your favourite music, light your best candles and prepare yourself for some at-home pampering that both you and your face need.
Here we give you some tips on how to give yourself a spa-like facial at home.
Relaxing atmosphere
Bring your spa at home by creating your relaxing ambience with some candles, essential oils and a relaxing playlist. While this might not be seen necessary, creating that atmosphere will help your unwind and be stress-free in no time making your at-home facial better.
Cleanse
Use a cleanser to wash off any dirt and makeup on your face to start your facial with a clear canvas. You have to make sure that your skin is fully clear, which might also mean giving yourself a double-cleansing. We recommend using an oil-based cleanser first to remove products and makeup, then using a water-based cleanser to remove sweat and dirt.
Exfoliate
To ensure that all the ingredients penetrate fully into your skin, exfoliate your skin. You can either go for the chemical or physical exfoliate routine, depending on your skin time. Exfoliation will also remove excess oils and get rid of the top layer of the skin cells.
Steaming
If you have been getting facials for a long time, you know steaming is an essential part of it. The heat from the steam will open up your face and soften the top layer. However, while doing at-home steam, do not overdo it, as it can lead to drying. Fill a bowl with hot water and cover your head with a towel to trap the steam. Hover your face over the bowl and let the steam do its job.
Mask
A facial would not be complete without a mask. Based on your skin needs, you can pick whatever mask is right for you. Try using a mask with detoxifying ingredients to help clean our your pores, since your pores will be open after steaming and exfoliating.
With the above tips and tricks, you can give yourself the most relaxing facial at home.
P.S. Remember to moisturize your skin post the facial.
