Instructions on How to Give Yourself a Great Facial at Home (which you should, at least once a week)

The best way to maintain the results of your facials is with regular care at home.  With the right products, you can achieve fabulous skin with this weekly regimen.

The wonderful thing about this facial is that most of the steps can be done in the shower or in an aromatherapy bath.  Massage oils or pure essential oils are perfect for the bath especially when mixed beforehand with dry milk to disperse the oils in the water.  For the shower, simply place a few drops of essential oil with water in a small bowl and place it on your radiator or heating vent.  Try putting on some Celtic or Native American music, or sounds of nature, like ocean waves or thunder storms. Or do what Daniela does each week – put on nothing but a robe, eat breakfast, follow the first 4 steps below, wash the dishes while the mask is doing its magic and remove the mask in the shower.  Simple.

This facial is also fantastic right before a special occasion or an evening out, as it will ensure a more even and longer lasting makeup application.

**Always remember to include your neck !**

Step 1 :    Wash with a lima bean-sized amount of cleanser.  For best results, use a complexion brush.  Rinse thoroughly.

Step 2 :    Massage skin gently with a small dollop of scrub for 30-60

                   seconds.  If you’ve used a complexion brush and you have

                   a more sensitive skin, you may skip this step.

Step 3 :Apply 2 pumps of recommended serum evenly over your entire face.  Follow this with a light tapping all over like you’re playing a piano for approximately two minutes, unless your skin has issues of redness.

Step 4 :Apply a layer of clay or gelle mask thick enough to not see your skin underneath but not too thick.  Avoid the area right below your eyes, and your eyelids.  Leave on for 10-15 minutes.  Rinse very thoroughly with cool water or rinse in the shower.

Step 5 :Spray face and neck well with toner, or apply with cotton if using a toner with salicylic acid.  Do not blot (unless directed to do so on the bottle), do not rinse. 

Step 6 : Apply 1 pump of recommended serum and work it in

                    while the toner is still wet.

Step 7 :Apply your recommended daytime or nighttime moisturizer with warm hands, massaging well into the skin.

AND THAT’S IT !
