Facial at Home

Beauty Tips On Home Facial


Many people don’t understand the importance of facial. Many of them go for a facial when they face  skin problems (weird breakouts, dry itchy skin, dark spots, etc.) or before an occasion to look more beautiful. But they don’t feel the importance of regular facial. Facials increase blood circulation under the skin allowing the skin optimal health to facilitate the renewal skin cells. It decrease waste underneath the skin that can cause puffiness, ruddiness, and fluid accumulation by manipulating the lymphatic system that lies just under the skin. Facials also aids in detoxification. Regular facial (and facial massage) can help smooth fine lines and promote collagen production, which is the building block of the skin (to prevent premature aging, wrinkles, and sagging).  Facial cleanse the pores on a much deeper level, help even skin tone and lighten dark spots and slow the aging process. They allow your skin to feel healthier, smoother, and look more radiant. Facials reduce fine lines, age spots, and relieve dehydrated skin. With these benefits, facials make us feel better about our skin. With the use of exfoliation, massage, and the penetration of nutrients and antioxidants, facials also fight to reverse aging. We will all age, but we can do it more slowly with glowing, firm, and hydrated skin by doing facial on a regular basis.

However, many of us can’t afford a monthly trip to a salon, spa or dermatology clinic just to have a facial. If you are one of these people who would want to have fabulous skin but do not want to pay a large sum for a facial treatment in a salon, spa or clinic, then you can follow the following simple steps to do your facial at home without any hassle.

Here is a step-by-step process for an easy and effective home facial:

Step One : Cleansing
All skin treatment  usually begin with getting off the dirt and makeup on your skin. The first step of an effective facial is by applying a cleansing cream all over your face and neck. You must massage the product on your skin for at least two minutes to give it time to dissolve dirt, make up and oils. Then, just wipe your face with a clean cloth, cotton wool, or facial tissue.

Step Two : Exfoliating

To remove deep-seated dirt and dry skin cells, you need to moisten your skin with warm water and put on a facial scrub, particularly the ones with micro beads. Gently massage the product on your face. Just make sure that you avoid the delicate area surrounding your eyes. After a while, rinse off with tap water.

Step Three : Steaming

Place a bowel of boiling water, preferably one kettleful, in front of you. Then, lean over the bowl and cover your head with a towel so that the steam will directly reach your face. But do not lean too low because you do not want to burn your face in the process. Make sure that you stay in this position for about five minutes.

Hot steam will open up your pores. If you have problems with blackheads and whiteheads, then you can use a blackhead extracting kit to remove your blackheads. Just make sure that your hands are clean before doing this.

Step Four : Applying Mask

Apply a facial mask all over your face. Just follow the instructions on the back of the product that you are using or you can also use your homemade facial mask by using certain home remedies that are available in your kitchen. If you have oily face, it is advisable to choose an exfoliating or clay-based mask (fuller’s earth, yogurt and honey mask). If your skin is dry, what you need is a moisturizing mask (gram flour, milk cream and honey); this will help your skin retain much-needed moisture on your face.

Step Five : Close Your Pores

When the mask feels taut and dry, rinse it off completely. It is best to remove the product with warm water. Your pores tend to open up after being in contact with steam or warm water; to prevent dirt from entering your pores, you need to close them. To do this, splash your face with cool water, concentrating on the areas where your pores are quite large or you can also apply ice cubes covering with tissue papers to close your pores. Dry your skin with a soft towel.

Step Six : Toning

In order to refresh your skin and get rid of excess oil, apply a homemade facial toner (cucumber Juice) on areas that are prone to acne and other blemishes; put special attention to your nose, forehead and chin.

Step Seven : Treat Your Eyes

Soak 2 cotton balls in cucumber juice and then apply the juice on the areas surrounding your eyes. Keep it for 10 to 15 minutes. Then rinse it off with normal water. Your eyes also need some attention whenever you are having a facial.

Step Eight : Moisturizing

After the cleansing, rinsing, steaming and toning, your face is now ready to get moisturized. Thus, apply a good amount of moisturizer all over your face and neck. This is important in keeping your skin soft and supple and your complexion even.

Facials are not a miracle in an hour but they do give you a fresh start to a healthier and balanced complexion. Regular facials will help you maintain optimal skin health.
