But what would make up do to hide our damaged skin. This is why you need facials. Facials cleanse, exfoliate and rejuvenate your skin. But with Diwali approaching near, we get lesser and lesser time for ourselves because we are busy preparing for the festival. Don’t worry, just follow the following steps give yourself a facial at home and you are good to go in less than an hour.
# CleansingSoak a couple cotton pads/cotton balls in warm water and squeeze out the extra water. Apply your favorite cleansing milk on your face and neck and wipe it off using the hot cotton ball/cotton pads. Now squeeze out a couple drops of your favorite face wash, add a few drops of water, rub it on your palms and lather it up, gently massage your face and neck with it. Wash it off with cold water and pat dry.
# SteamOne of the fanciest thing I feel about the spas is the steam. It helps to open and clean my skin pores and freshens me up. Looking at their fancy steamer I often wonder, how can I get steam at home. It’s easy! Pour boiling hot water in a large bowl, add a few drops of your favorite essential oil. Cover your head with a thick washcloth or towel, facing the blow and let the steam do its job. Clean, clear and beautiful skin in no time!
# ScrubScrubbing is another great way to exfoliate your skin. What you really have to do is take a good quality organic facial scrub and gently massage your facial skin and on the neck with the scrub. Massage the scrub on your face for a couple minutes and wash it off with cold water. Super smooth skin with no debris and blemish, check.
# Face PackNow come the best part, face pack. Face pack relaxes your facial skin and relieves you, by improving the oxygen flow on the skin surface. It tightens and firms up the facial skin, thus helping to reduce the signs of aging. Squeeze out some of your favorite face pack and apply it on your face and neck, smoothing it out evenly. Let it dry. You can also put cucumber slices or green tea bags on your eyes. Besides relaxing your eyes, it also helps to reduce the dark circles beneath the eyes. Soak a cotton pad in water and squeeze the excess out of it. Gently wipe off the face pack and wash your face with cold water.
# Hydrate The SkinFinally, take a bowl of cold water, add a couple drops of eucalyptus oil to it and soak a towel in it. Squeeze out the excess water and place this towel on your face and relax for a while. This helps to hydrate and lock the moisture in your skin. The eucalyptus oil cools and calms you down. Remove the towel, wipe your face with it and apply a moisturizer to deeply moisturize your skin.
