Your face is one part of your body that needs to be cared for. This is because it is your identity; it’s the first thing people see when they look at you. Facials are not limited to women only; guys can also do their facials since they are prone to acne and blackheads.

 

But what do you do when you are low on cash, and you know you need to have your facials done? You don’t want to borrow from friends and you don’t know of a spa that would give you a good service with the amount you have at hand.

 

Today, we are dishing out six steps to teach you all you need to know about a do-it-yourself home facial.

 

1. Cleanse

 

It is important to start on a clean slate. So the first thing to do is wash your face thoroughly to remove all traces of oil, dirt, and makeup. This you can do using a toilet, medicated or anti-bacterial soap.

 

2. Exfoliate

 

Next, gently massage a facial scrub into your damp skin to remove dead skin cells, and help unclog your pores. Exfoliating also helps other skincare products penetrate properly.

 

3. Steam

 

Whether you’re getting your facial done at a spa or at home, steaming opens up your pores and lifts oils and impurities to the surface of your skin. It also prepares your skin for the next step.

 

4. Use a face mask

 

The next step is using a face mask. It’s time to nourish your skin with a face mask. If your skin is oily, clay masks are best. Meanwhile, sheet masks are great for dry skin.

 

5. Tone

 

This is optional, but toners help to restore the pH balance of your skin and also seal your pores. Rosewater is a great option for toning.

 

6. Moisturise

 

This is the final step, but it’s just as important as the previous steps. Massage your favourite moisturiser into your face and say hello to well-nourished, glowing skin.

 

You can have your facials done from the comfort of your bathroom, so do it yourself this weekend and thank us later.
