The Only Guide You Need For Facial At Home

Step 1: Cleanse

When it comes to facial at home, it all comes down to following the correct routine as the facialist does. So start off by cleansing your face with the double cleansing method. On a regular day, some of us may prefer a quick and using one face cleanser right? But once you try out the double cleansing method you’ll never go back, trust us. Simply use a cleansing oil during the first step to dissolve makeup and remove impurities. Then followed by a water-based cleanser like gel, foam, or milk. Use gentle and circular motions to gently massage your skin as well.

Plus, steam also ensures that you can unclog the pores easily. You can opt for a facial steamer if you have one or if you don’t, fret not because you can even steam your face over a hot bowl of water. Plus, you can even add essential oils like rose oil, lavender oil, and tea tree oil for aromatherapy benefits.

Step 3: Exfoliate 

We know that some of you may hope that the next step involves clearing out the gunks, but unfortunately, you need to leave it to the professional to avoid any potential scarring. So the next routine is to use chemical exfoliate like AHAs or BHAs to help remove dead skin cells as well as smooth the skin. If you’re thinking of using a physical exfoliant, you should think again as it can cause damage to the skin’s barrier. Plus it is the primary product that you need to avoid if you have sensitive skin.

Step 4: Mask

After you have exfoliated your skin, proceed with a facial mask and we recommend that you incorporate two different types of masks to maximize the benefits. Plus, make sure to use a mask that is suitable for your skin type, for instance, if you have oily skin, a charcoal or clay mask is perfect for you. Whereas a hydrating mask is a secret to attain plump and firm-looking skin. If you experience dull skin, opt for a mask that is formulated with vitamin C to revive your skin. You can use an exfoliating mask and then hydrating mask to ensure that your skin attains a complete treatment. We have listed few options of masks that you can choose from.

Step 7: Face Massage

If you want to experience the ultimate facial at home, using a face massage tool makes all the difference! So add your own little professional touch to it massaging your face with a face roller. The pro tip is to put the face roller in the freezer to help depuff and soothe the skin. However, if you want to go all out, you can use devices that include LED light therapy and vibrations. If it is your first time doing a face massage, the rule of thumb is to use upward and outward motions. Massaging your face does not only help to promote lymphatic drainage, but it induces relaxation as well.
