Do it Yourself Facial Six Steps to Beautiful Face

I like to treat myself to an at home facial once a week. Everyone should indulge in a facial regularly to deep cleanse the skin, shed dead skin cells, break down discoloration and to supercharge their skin with a potent blend of moisture, antioxidants and beneficial healing.

There are six steps included in this facial and each step is very simple and very beneficial.

Step 1. Cleanse your skin. Moisten your face and work your cleanser into your skin for about one to two minutes (the cleanser needs time to penetrate the layers of skin and draw out dirt and debris), then rinse with a warm, wet washcloth.

Step 2. Scrub. Work your scrub into moist skin for one to two minutes, moving in circular motions over the entire face. Rinse with a warm, wet washcloth. I prefer a gentle scrub of baking soda and water with one drop of Frankincense essential oil, which is excellent for wrinkles and damaged skin, or Helichrysum essential oil which is a powerful antioxidant and overall skin beautifier.

Step 3. Warm Compress - Don't Steam! Steam is water which has been raised to a temperature of 212 degrees - that's extremely hot. When such a high temperature comes into contact with the skin it is very traumatic for the skin and can even burn the skin. It can even break down elasticity and collagen in the skin over time as well. Instead use a warm compress. A beneficial compress can be made from lavender (calming, anti-fungal), chamomile (inflammation, cooling), yarrow (redness) and rose (tightening, elasticity). Place about 2 handfuls of fresh herbs or 3 Tbsp dry herbs in a pot filled with water. Boil, then cover and let steep for 30 minutes. Soak a cloth in the mixture, wring it out and lay it on your face until cool. Repeat several times to soften the skin and pass the herbal benefits into your skin.

Step 4. Extraction. Once the skin is softened I like to use a blackhead extractor to extract any pimples on the surface of my skin. However, it's very easy to tear and traumatize your skin with this tool, so be very gentle when using this tool and use light pressure. Before and after using the tool sterilize it with alcohol. If you want to go this step without an extractor then wash your hands and wrap your index fingers in tissue and gently press both sides of the pimple for a clean extraction.

Step 5. Mask. Apply a thin layer of your mask and leave on for about 20 minutes. Remove with a warm, wet washcloth. If you have trouble removing all of the mask then use a little of your cleanser to remove any remaining mask which may be linger on your skin.

Step 6. Moisturize. Apply a moisturizer to your skin to seal in moisture. I love using jojoba oil as a moisturizer because it contains wonderful nutrients and has antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, moisturizing and soothing properties. It's wonderful for skin!

You're finished! Now go out and face the world, beautiful
