 Home Facial
 

Everyday we expose our face to the elements of life and cover our skin in make-up. It is essential to clear and beautiful skin that you regularly treat, detoxify and massage your face, ears and neck.

You can follow our 7 step process to a wonderful spa quality home facial treatment for yourself or a friend.
 
 
Step 1
Clean  
 
The first step in your home facial is to wash your face with warm water and remove all make-up or any accumulated dirt. If you are removing make up then you should use a good quality makeup remover. Make-up remover is not suitable for the eyes and a specialty eye make-up remover should be used.
 
It is recommended to use either a warm clean face washer or pre-made face cleaners.
 
 
Step 2
Scrub    
Using a gentle small circular motion apply a good quality facial scrub to the forehead, both cheeks, nose and chin using your index finger and middle finger joined together.
 
Apply small amounts at each time (size of a 5 cent piece) to ensure you do not use to much of the scrub.
 
The process of applying the scrub and massaging it into the face should take around 5 minutes. When you have finished use a warm face washer to gently remove the product from the skin.
 
Note: a scrub should not be used on the neck or eye area and should not be used on skin with acne or open sores.
 
 
Step 3
Cleanser Massage 
The next step is to cleanse and massage the face and neck areas.
 
Use a cleanser to wet the skin that also allows the hands to glide over the face and neck, select your cleanser based on the person's skin type (oily, dry, normal or combination).
 
Ensure that you always have sufficient product on the skin to ensure that the hands glide over the skin so that the massage feels relaxing rather than rough.
 
You should massage the temples at the side of the face very gently as this is a sensitive area.
Then proceed to massage from the top of the nose around the forehead following the eyebrow line and down the sides of the face down to the chin area.
 
You can also massage the sinus passage from the bridge of the nose, across the cheek bone line to the hair line on the sides of the face.
 
You should then massage behind the ears and on the ear lobes and move to massaging the back of the neck.
 
You can use a long continuous strokes or small circular strokes and should continue the massage for at least 10 minutes. 
 
 
Step 4
Toner 
The next step is to apply a toner based on the person's skin type (oily, dry, normal or combination). The toner should be used to remove all of the cleanser used in the massage at Step 3. 
 
 
Step 5
Mask 
Face Mask - you should select a face mask based on the person's skin type (oily, dry, normal or combination) and also on the desired result of the mask. Be careful you do not use a mask designed to go deep into the pores to remove impurities a few days before a big event as it should bring the impurities to the surface of the skin and result in pimples.
 
It is easiest to apply the mask by placing the product in a small bowl and using a 5-7cm paint brush and painting it evenly across the face and neck. Be sure to avoid the eye area with your face mask.
 
Allow the face mask to completely dry (if using ready made products the dry time will be on the label) before using a warm face washer and warm bowl of water to remove all of the mask.
 
Eye Mask - you should not use a face mask on the eye area, special eye masks are available or you can refer to our home beauty page for some ideas.
 
 
Step 6
Moisturise  
Using a gentle small circular motion apply a good quality moisturiser based on the person's skin type (oily, dry, normal or combination) to the forehead, both cheeks, nose, chin and neck using your index finger and middle finger joined together.
Apply small amounts at each time (size of a 5 cent piece) to ensure you do not use to much of the moisturiser.
 
 
Step 7
Eye Treatment 
To finish of your home facial we recommend using an eye serum. Using a cotton bud apply 5 dabs of the product under the eye and on the eye lids. Using your little finger in a circular motion gently spread the product over the eye areas.
