Pamper Yourself through Handcrafted Facials

Pamper yourself at the comfort of your homes through the four easy steps of cleansing, exfoliating, using masks and moisturizing. Achieve that soothing, relaxing and rejuvenating beauty treatment with your own hands by using homespun and homegrown ingredients.

Easy Breezy Facial Cleansing

Start by removing dirt and harmful compounds that have accumulated in your face by using cleansing soaps, wipes, oils and products you recently bought. Just make sure that you choose products containing ingredients gentle for your skin. You may also start using the leftover oil components for your exfoliation. There is no need to switch from cold to hot water or vice versa to achieve a more hydrated, cleaner and softer skin as lukewarm water works best.

Homemade Exfoliator Facial Scrubs

Oatmeal, ground rice, baking soda, cinnamon, apples, milk, yogurt, pineapple, mangoes, strawberries, cherry, honey, lemon, rose, kiwi fruit, coffee, coconut, sugar, chocolate, blueberry, olive oil, eggs, tea, almond oil, cocoa, papaya, peaches, watermelon, cucumber, adzuki bean and more items you can see in your pantry and in your backyard can all be ingredients to free your face from dead skin cells and exfoliate.

Follow these steps to create your own facial scrub. First, prepare containers where you’ll store your mixture. Next, get a processor to grind your base products like rice, coffee, oatmeal, almonds and different fruits to paste or oil like texture. Mix in a bowl your chosen liquid ingredient and you are ready to have your homemade natural scrub.

Take your pick with the latest facial brushes, massagers and rollers to help you exfoliate. Many products even offer in anti-aging, pore tightening, exfoliating and more benefits if you use them.

Mask Time!

Choose the mask that satisfies your needs. Do you have dry skin or is it oily? Do you want to achieve even skin tone, reduce inflammation of acne, prevent breakout of acne or make your skin softer? Define your goal early so that you can pick the right ingredients for the scrub as this will be the same ingredient you’ll leave on your face in the next 10-15 minutes. You may also use retail masks, but again, pick the ones made from natural elements. Sit back and relax. This is the right time to say that magic phrase!

The fab conclusion: Moisturize

You may have store-bought moisturizer ready to be used in the shelf, but make sure to be picky as most processed products are proven to have paraben, octinoxate, homosalate, triethanolamine, linalool, oxybezone and other elements harmful not only to the face but to the body as a whole. It is still best and recommended that you use natural oils. Thankfully, there are many available products like these everywhere.

With four easy steps, you can achieve the spa-like treatment you’ve been longing for. Noteworthy, you are aware of all the ingredients you used. You know that you picked only what are honestly good for you.
