Don’t you sometimes feel like soaking in warm water and getting some rest after a busy day? Even though you don’t always have time for a long bath, you can get at least a part of real relaxation by doing face spa at home. How to prepare your budget-friendly spa?
Our face skin is hardest done by the constant stress, tiredness and busy life. Every sleepless night and concern is visible on the face – wrinkles, dark under-eye circles, puffy eyes, sallow and lifeless skin. It’s time you took action!
SPA-level facial. What’s that?
While spa makes everyone think of warm bubble baths, there’s a different option that doesn’t take that much time yet it gives equally amazing effects – face SPA. What does it involve? Simply put, it’s a series of relaxing facial treatments that make you feel better and remove tension while your skin goes healthily radiant and revitalized.
You can get your spa facial at home – it’s neither pricey nor time-consuming or difficult. You should use the treatment whenever you feel tired and need a quick form of relaxation or when you see your face lacks vitality and plumpness, and you need to give it the best nutrients, making it brighter and younger-looking.
At-home Spa Facial Step by Step
What do you need to treat your face to real spa? Above all, you need the time. As far as products go, you probably have most of them at home. Ready? Let’s begin your home spa facial.
Step 1 Makeup Removal and Face Cleansing
Firstly, you must clear your face of makeup and all impurities that have built up (face oil, dust, pollution). Try Oil Cleansing Method – you need a blend of castor oil and a base oil – e.g. argan or jojoba oil. Oils effectively remove even the most resistant dirt, without leaving the skin feeling dry or tight. Last of all, dry the face and take off all oil residue.
Step 2 Facial Steam
It’s time to work from within. Steaming is made for that. Pour some hot water into a bowl, add a few drops of essential oil (e.g. rosemary oil), put a towel on the head and bend over the bowl. This is a perfect way for opening the skin pores and in-depth face cleansing. Facial steam helps get rid of ugly blackheads, softens the skin and primes it for the next steps.
Step 3 Facial Mask
The next step that will let you feel like in a real spa center – face mask and cucumber compress. Every woman knows this duo and dreams of relaxing this way. It’s easier than you think! Use a strongly-nourishing, hydrating, revitalizing mask (e.g. homemade avocado, honey and yogurt mask or any other DIY recipe). After applying it to the skin, lie down on the bed, put slices of moisturizing and brightening cucumber on the eyelids, and then… get your beauty sleep!
Step 4 Oil Massage
After rinsing the mask, you should protect the skin from the loss of moisture and essential ingredients. How? Ideally, use natural beauty oils such as almond oil, argan oil or jojoba oil. Massaging a drop of oil into the skin for a few minutes is a perfect way to make the skin smoother, nourish and protect it from harmful factors. This gentle face massage works wonders – it’s the best way you can use to complete your face spa.
