"A soothing facial will improve the appearance of your skin and relax you at the same time. I'm Jackie Silver with how to give yourself a facial. To give yourself a facial start by tying back your hair to keep it off your face. Place a warm wet towel on your face for a few minutes to open the pores. Remove the towel and wash the face using cleanser formulated for your skin type. Fill a pot with water and add herbs or essential oils. For example, chamomile, fennel seeds and roses are good for dry skin. And rosemary, lavender and peppermint can help oily skin. Bring the pot of water to a boil and then remove it from the heat. Drape a towel over your head and hold your face over the steam being careful not to touch the pot. Steam for five or ten minutes. Next, put on a clay mask, avoiding the eye area and lips. Relax and lie down as the mask dries. If you want, you can put cold cucumber slices over your eyes to reduce puffiness. Rinse the mask off thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat your skin dry. End with toner and your favorite moisturizer. Remember to give yourself a facial, tie your hair back, prepare the skin with the warm wet towel, steam, apply the mask and cucumbers, rinse and moisturize. I'm Jackie with how to give yourself a facial. Have a beautiful day."
