Your Step-By-Step At-Home FacialA basic facial must include at least 3 elements:
(1) cleansing;
(2) toning; and
(3) moisturizing.
Additional steps might include steaming, exfoliating and masking.
Step 1. Before cleansing your skin with a gentle cleanser, it is wise to give yourself a light
steam treatment to open your pores and prepare your face for cleaning. To do this, simply
soak a soft towel in a bowl of comfortably warm herbal tea. Wring out the towel and place it
over your face and neck area and relax until it cools slightly. You may repeat this process, as it
is quite soothing.
Step 2. Cleanse your face with a gentle handmade cleanser such as Rose Cream Cleanser. Use
upward, circular movements of the fingertips to gently stimulate the skin and help lift surface
debris and excess oil. Rinse with warm water and gently pat excess moisture from face with a
soft towel. If you wear heavy make-up, you might wish to repeat the cleansing process.
Step 3. After cleansing, it is important to tone the skin using ingredients that help balance the
pH of the skin, which is typically disturbed during the cleansing process. Apply the toner with a
soft cotton pad, but do not rub the skin. Rather, saturate the pad and pat the toner over the
face and neck area. Do not pat skin dry. Avoid eye area when using toner. You skin is now
ready for moisturizing.
Step 4. Moisturize your skin using Aromatic Facial Oil, which contains a host of soothing
ingredients to add moisture and nutrients to your skin. To seal in the moisture, be sure to
apply the oil while skin remains damp from applying the toner. Gently apply the oil to your
face and neck using patting motions. For oily areas of skin, one application of oil should
suffice. Apply twice to dry areas of skin, waiting about 2-3 minutes between applications, and
being sure to moisten the skin slightly with water or toner before the second application.
