How to have an at home facial

Facials are the ultimate spa luxury for your skin. Professional treatments can be pricey and difficult to fit into a hectic schedule, so why not try one at home?

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Facial Cleanser
• Exfoliating Scrub
• Wash cloth
• Facial Mask
• Moisturiser

1. Find a quiet half-hour where you're unlikely to be disturbed in the bathroom.

2. Cleanse your face of oils and dirt with a facial cleanser.

3. Using an exfoliating scrub, remove any dead skin and impurities from your face. Move your fingers in a gentle circular motion. Pay special attention to oilier areas of the face, such as the forehead and nose. Rinse thoroughly.

4. To open clogged pores, steam your skin. Fill a sink with medium-hot water. Soak a washcloth in the water and bring to your face for 30 seconds. Repeat 3 times.

5. Apply a mask to draw out impurities from beneath the skin. For oily skin, use a clay-based mask. A hydrating cream-based mask will rejuvenate drier skin. Follow instructions as indicated on the mask for how long to leave it on.

6. Apply a moisturising lotion to your skin.

Tips & Warnings

• Repeat once a week for great results
