How to do your own ‘Facial at Home’

Some reasons that make our days stressful, is working too much, financial situations and family obligations. In short the overall economic crisis keeps us aggravated to some degree, but it should not limit our happiness… We have to find a way to give back to our self, with a refreshing reward. I like to use my Saturday or Sunday afternoon to ‘pamper’ my self with an old fashion facial. Doing it at home, I can relax in the comfort of my personal surroundings and dress as casual as I want. This way I can restore my inner strength and bring back the youthful appearance of my body while regenerating the beauty features of my face.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• 1 whole egg
• kleenex Tissues
• 2 Hand towels/ face cloths
• 8 -10 inch Pot
• Small bowl
• Mint leaves
• Candle

1. Cut kleenex tissues in 1.5 inch squares. Break eggs, separate the yellows.
   
   Cleaner Cream to open the pores, massage gently and slowly in circles 5 – 7 minutes.
2. Wash your face with clean cotton balls or Kleenex tissue.
   Wash face with warm water. Dry with soft hand towel/face cloth.
3. Using a soft brush, dip into egg whites, paint the face slowly and gently from the center to the chin, then right and left of cheeks, always in the same direction. Do that twice or enough to make a thick egg mask.
4. Soak some Kleenex tissues in the egg whites and lay them on your face in the egg you just brushed on. This makes an egg mask. Light the candle and lie down for 5 – 10 minutes until you feel your face drawing tight. Optional,..( while waiting for the drying process, you can do other things if you like)
5. When completely dry, peel off the egg mask slowly, and wash face with tepid water. Dry with face cloth slowly.
6. Pour water into a pot, cover with a lid. Heat until boiling. When steamy, add mint leaves. Remove from the stove. Very carefully move your face slowly just above the steam over the pot. This is a two fold action which moisturizes and cleans the pores. Do this until stem is gone.
7. Pour hot water into a bolw, add cool water into, and soak the face cloth in the warm water. Remove and squeeze out most of the water and spread on your face. Lie down for 5-10 minutes or more ( if you like) then use moisturizer for day or night lotions depending.
