I cannot take credit for the ingredients in this treatment as I wrote away to a company several years back to attain this "top secret" information; however, I think you'll be amazed at what items you'll need to purchase to give yourself this otherwise expensive treatment. I tried the treatment at home and it worked remarkably well. You will have to give it some time, as with any treatment of this nature, before it makes a truly visual impact. Several treatments on a consistent basis will make all of the difference. Read on to learn how to give yourself an expensive spa facial at home for pennies.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Milk of magnesia
  • Witch hazel
  • Cotton balls
  • White terry cloth towels
  • Face cream

Step1
Liberally dab the milk of magnesia onto your skin with a soft cloth. Leave this mixture on until it is somewhat dry. Don't let the mixture become too dry. Allow somewhere around 20 to 30 minutes or more. If for the most part, the mixture is dry to the touch prepare to remove the mask with a hot, moist towel. Depending on your climate, more time may be needed. Do not remove until the mask is mostly dry but again not too dry.
Step2
Take a hot towel, comfortable to the skin and remove the mixture from your face. Rinse with warm, tepid water until all traces of the mixture are no longer visible.
Step3
Next open the witch hazel astringent. Take a cotton swab and turn the bottle over minimally saturating the cotton. Using the swab, minimally apply the witch hazel to your face avoiding the eye area.
Step4
Apply your favorite face cream after application of the witch hazel and after the skin is dry to the touch. Your skin should immediately feel softer before application of the face cream.

Tips & Warnings

  • Before applying your spa treatment, assure your face is fresh and clean. Wash your skin with your favorite facial cleanser and rinse well. Dry your face before applying the facial treatment.
  • Do not allow the "facial application" to become too dry. As soon as the mixture feels dry to the touch, remove with a "steamy" hot towel that is comfortable to your skin. You may want to allow the towel to touch the skin for a few minutes; however, make sure your towel is not too hot or is scalding. The steam must be beneficial; not of the nature where you will require medical attention.
  • Use this application once a week or every two weeks, depending on your preference.
  • Invite a friend over and provide each other facials. You may want to pour the milk of magnesia into another container if your friend, possibly, is not open-minded to the initial concept. Afterwards, after your friend has commented on the rewards of the home facial, you may disclose the "secret" of his or her pleasing complexion.
  • Enjoy your beautiful "dewey" skin--something most women work at diligently to maintain. Your secret will certainly be safe with me.
  • All skin types are different. I have not heard of any occurrences of allergic reaction; however, if this should be the case then common sense dictates to discontinue use.
  • When using the towels, just dampen under very warm water. Do not use water that is scalding or you could burn the skin.
