Well you can do a basic DIY facial at home by deep cleansing (use a steamer perhaps if you have one?) and then exfoliate, then do some blackhead extraction if you're confident enough to, then stick on a face mask, let it work it's magic, remove, cleanse, tone, facial massage with moisuriser/oil and you're ready!
But I always find salon facials with the scary looking machinary give better results. And also cos I'm too lazy to do the above and hate trying to wash dried up face mask off my towels afterwards :p
I will HAVE to do exfoliation and blackhead extraction on hubby, cos he won't take these steps himself!!!
