Facial at home easy tips to get the glow even when closed at home…

I feel you…Right now, many of us need to take care of ourselves and destress more than ever, but it’s not possible to go for the next 2 weeks and just have your favorite professional facial done for you for . Luckily, it’s still possible to give yourself a spa-quality facial at home until the cozy spa is open again.

🌿(And by the way i have a special pre booking for you – the weeks after lock down are always super busy, but if you book your treatment now for between the 15th of january till 28th February you can enjoy a special discount using the code “thank you” at the comments , so you not only secure your place but also enjoy the price:)🌿

You can do your facial at home once a week to maintain your beauty in between your treatments:

1. Create a relaxing atmosphere.

If you can’t actually go to the salon, you can bring a part of it to you by creating some relaxing ambience at home. This may seem like a small step, but erasing as much stress as possible to unwind will make your facial that much better.

Lorencin recommends taking a bath with epsom salt or one of the blends here. If you’re not in the mood for a full-body dip, you can soak your feet for the same de-stressing feeling. It’s very healthy for all those pressure points in the foot and it’s very relaxing

For optimal relaxation, both Chan and Lorencin recommend adding a few drops of lavender essential oil as it is super calming , put on some candles and your relaxing playlist and youré ready!

 

2. Cleanse your skin well.

Before you do anything else to your face, you need to start with a clean canvas. Any makeup or product left on your skin will result in a less effective facial. To make sure your skin is as clean as possible before you start the facial process, give double cleansing a try.

start with an oil-water MakeUp Remover and then a Natural cleanser. The oil-based cleanser will remove makeup, products, and sebum, while a water-based cleanser will clear your skin of any grime like dirt or sweat, leaving you with squeaky-clean skin ready for next steps.

 

3. Steam your skin.

If you’re a facial enthusiast, you know that most facials will include some kind of steaming process. Steaming your face helps open up your pores and soften the top layer of your skin to prime it for exfoliation, If you want to steam your face at home, take extra care not to over-steam your skin, as this can lead to dryness.

You can steam either by hovering your face over a bowl of hot water and cover your head with a towel to trap the steam in, or soak a towel in hot water and put it over your face, making sure the water isn’t hot enough to burn you… Here are some home steams recipes

 

4. Exfoliate to smooth and brighten.

Any good at-home facial (or facial in general, for that matter) involves exfoliation to slough off dead skin cells and reveal radiant skin. massage the scrub and focus on the T-Zone area, then gently remove with water.

 

5. Massage in a mask.

A facial wouldn’t feel right without some kind of face mask. You can pick whatever mask you want to use based on your skin’s needs

here are many mask recipes for you !

To make your at-home experience resemble the spa, try massaging in your mask for a few minutes instead of just smoothing it on quickly, Leave the mask on for 15 to 20 minutes. if you can, sit in the bathtub or warm shower and just kind of let that mask steam super gently on your face.

 

6. Moisturize skin.

One of the biggest keys to achieving a radiant glow is well-moisturized skin with a moisturize.  Once you remove the mask, lock in the hydration with your favorite serum  , massage it and use your moisturizer on top.

To take your moisturizing to the next level, you can use a facial massage tool like a jade roller or gua sha to help de-puff your face, among other benefits like rejuvenation, collagen promotion, and cell turnover. (how to use? read here)

7. Skip the extractions!!!

Of course, extractions can be one of the most satisfying parts of a facial. But this is one step you should leave to the pros. If it’s not clean, you can get an infection if you get it only halfway out. Attempting to execute your own extractions and pick at your face is never a good idea….this can wait for your pro facial:)
