The number one most important key to looking beautiful is your skin. All the makeup in the world can’t conceal bad skin and great skin can add a shine to anyone’s features.
There are countless ointments and treatments and tools available to moisturize, scrub, and smooth your skin and they’re all relatively effective.
Follow these basic steps for an at-home facial, personalizing each step as necessary.
1. Create a relaxing atmosphere. A home facial is a chance for you to take care of yourself, so make it as much like a real spa as possible. Light some candles and put on a playlist of soothing music to help you relax.
2. Cleanse your face. Start by removing any makeup with cleansing lotion or oil. Use warm water and a light foaming cleanser or the appropriate facial cleanser for your skin type.
3. Gently exfoliate your skin. Exfoliation removes dead skin cells and helps even out skin tone, making it an essential step in any proper facial.
4. Steam your face to open your pores. Use a home face steamer tool if you have one, or boil a pot of water.
5. Apply a face mask. Your pores are open and can now soak up beneficial ingredients. Pick a face mask or sheet mask that’s tailored to your skin type.
6. Apply a toning treatment. Toner helps equalize and balance the skin's pH back to its natural state. Apply your toner with a cotton ball, cotton pad, or spritzer.
7. Apply a hydrating serum. Depending on your skin needs and goals, use an anti-aging serum, vitamin C serum, or brightening skin serum.
8. Moisturize your skin. End the facial with a good moisturizer that replenishes your skin's oils.
