Give yourself a luxurious moisturizing facial at home. Professional quality at an affordable price. This is a facial I use in my salon, give it a try it's wonderful for your skin.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • wash cloth
  • very warm water
  • mild exfoliant (desert essence jojoba scrub $3.98)
  • cleansing mask (episilk moisture mask $7.98)
  • moisturizer (Derm E pycnogenol creme $17.98)
  • essential oil ( lavender, peppermint)

    Wet your wash cloth with very warm water and lay it on your face, until it is almost cool. Repeat this process 3-4 times to soften skin amd open pores. Use exfolient (I recommend desert essence facial scrub for $3.98) to remove dead skin. Rub in an upward circular motion for 1 minute. This will allow you to get under the skin and hair follicles. Rinse with warm water.

  2. Step 2

    Next apply your moisturizer do not skimp use a generous amount. This will help to seal in moisture. An added treat especially in the summer is to keep your moisturizer in the fridge. not only is it refreshing but the cold helps to shrink your pores which always makes skin look better.
    You can now apply an essential oil behind your ears, on neck and elbows and behind knees. Use either lavender oil to relax and destress or pepermint oil to refresh and energize.

Tips & Warnings
  • Regularly exfoliate skin at least 2x week
  • Use moisturizer daily on whole body
  • Check out the resource box for all products I have recommended plus many more
  • just type in product name for a quick search
