With so many of us staying home, there’s never been a better time to learn how to execute the perfect at-home facial.
Self-care is crucial, always.
By investing in a few at-home spa pieces, you’ll be able to achieve the skin of your dreams at a fraction of the cost. No more pricey trips to the salon - unless you need to escape the house for a few hours, which is always a great reason.
Try recreating your favorite spa at home by dimming the lights and lighting some candles. Play soft music and diffuse your ultimate essential oil for relaxation.
Put on your dressing gown, pop your hair in a bun, use a headband to keep it away from your face, and you’ll quickly feel like you’ve been transported from your home and into the salon.
Cleansing creates a clean canvas to allow all of our wonderful products to do the work they need to. Dirt can prevent all of the good from being absorbed, so you’ll want to remove surface impurities and debris before you get started.
Start by wetting your skin, then apply your cleanser in circular motions starting at your chin and working upwards. Rinse with warm water and repeat. You can use our sonic skin cleanser for maximum cleansing.
Pat your skin dry, never rub!
Following your facial cleanse, you might choose to use a blackhead remover to rid your skin of deeper impurities.
Exfoliating can be a love it or hate it step depending on your normal skincare routine, but it’s great to do once or twice a week to remove dead skin.
Use a very small amount of exfoliator and be gentle as you apply it.
This step will ensure that your skin gets that post-spa glow!
Steaming is another important step in the at-home facial process - even though it may feel a little boring, don’t skip it!
Put some hot water in a steamerand add essential oils depending on your skin type. You can even add fruits and vegetables to this steamer!
Place your face over the bowl and a towel over your head, then steam for 10 minutes.
Your skin is now ready to absorb all of that wonderful mask goodness. Choose a mask that suits your skin type, apply to your face, and relax whilst your skin re-hydrates with the best products.
Toner is necessary for removing excess product and to return your face to it’s normal and natural PH level.
Finish up with a 1-2 minute massage using your favorite moisturizer or serum, and admire your fresh, spa-like shine for the rest of the week!
