Home Facials

They aren’t really hard unless you are plain LAZY!

Step 1:

Gather everything that you will need

-cleanser
-scrub
-mask
-toner
-eye gel
-moisturizer
-cotton pads
-a bowl of warm water

Cleanse u’re face with a walnut size amount of cleanser to which u’ve added a few drops of water and massage u’re face really well with this. Wipe-off with damp cotton-wool.

Exfoliate, use a scrub of u’re choice and scrub really well..concentrate on the chin area and area around u’re nose.

Steam, cover u’re head with a towel and place u’re face 5 inches away from the bowl of warm water.

Mask, apply any mask that u like and leave it on for 20 mins

Eyes, apply an eye-gel that u’ve kept in the fridge for a while under u’re eyes and cover it with cotton-pads soaked in chilled rosewater while u’re mask dries.

Rinse and tone using an astringent/toner

Lasty..moisturize really well and massage using upwards and outward strokes, go over u’re laughlines and area around u’re eyes as well as forehead.

Thank you G, Mr Halwa has got a treat in store for him.... Hahaha! Last time I forcefully exfoliated his face with a scrub and he protested lots n lots, but afterwards he was like, "ooh, my face is so soft and smooth now...".

Re: Home Facials

Re: Home Facials

Thanx! just a Q. can loofah be used on face? :D

Re: Home Facials

Yup! I try to keep up with this routine as much as I can but I do get lazy lol! But instead of steaming my face in a bowl, I dip a small face towel in hot water and press it against my face for a few minutes...this really works well and is alot quicker! :)

But Gina is it really necessary to do mini facials as well as salon ones on a regular basis? And are there any disadvantages of doing this at a young age?

If u're getting them done at a salon..then don't do them at home. U shud begin facials after 25. Before that just stick to the basic cleansing/toning/moisturizing regime

Re: Home Facials

Great. Going to do it tomorrow. Thanks!!!

Question, can you use an eye cream instead of a gel?

Re: Home Facials

Ooooooooooh Gina, thank you so much for this!!! I so needed it! I'll be doing this tomorrow!

Re: Home Facials

im so beat, i want to spend a week at a spa.
thanks for the tips g.

^ Go to the spa! blush having someone else do the massage feels soo much more relaxing!

Ah right! Thanks…I’m going to stop doing them now coz I’m only 22 :smack:

But It’s still OK to exfoliate? I normally do this once a week.

It's required! :) scrub 2-3 times a week...

Re: Home Facials

ginaaaaaa…my q is unanswered :frowning: plzzz list some natural facial stuff plzzzzzzzzzz
im feeling so lazy to go out 2 buy all the stuff…really i just hav a face wash :bummer:

Re: Home Facials

thanks for the whole method Gina!
can anyone recommend a mask for sensitive skin? whenever I use one, my skin gets all red and hot.. feels burnt. even multani mitti had that effect on it once!

Nancy Drew.. the skin queries and glowing brides is full of them! :)

AA, Avon has a very mild one it's called the Planet Spa Moroccon Rose mask. I keep mine in the fridge ;)

Re: Home Facials
