5 Steps to the Perfect At-Home Facial

facial Five Steps to Giving Yourself the Perfect At-Home Facial WHAT SHOULD YOU DO WHEN THERE'S NO TIME FOR A SPA FACIAL BUT YOUR SKIN IS IN SERIOUS NEED OF HELP? A DO-IT-YOURSELF, AT-HOME FACIAL IS THE ANSWER! Pull your hair back; it's time to get started! Get Clean! Remove dirt and oil from the skin's surface by gently washing the face and neck with a skin type-appropriate cleanser. Extoliate! Exfoliation helps by unblocking the surface of the skin, thereby allowing products to penetrate the skin better. Apply a gentle face scrub to damp skin and massage into the skin with your fingertips. Do this for about 30 seconds and rinse. 3 Get Steamy! Warmth softens the skin, increases circulation, and also promotes better product penetration. To steam at home, you can use towels soaked in hot water (be sure to check the temperature of towels before putting them anywhere near your face). Another way to steam at homE is to drape a towel over your head and stand above a steaming pot of water. Again, be safe! (4 Mask Choose a mask that is appropriate for your skin type and follow package directions. Be sure to use toner after the mask has been removed. Moisturize Apply moisturizer and eye cream. Remember to use a moisturizer with sun protection if your DIY facial takes place during the day! That's it! You're done! MARIO BADESCU SKIN CARE
