The cost of living has gone up sharply. Furthermore, everything is about money these days. We can't avoid paying for the basic essentials of food, house payment, water, electricity and transportation to name some. And than there are other expenses which varies among us. Nevertheless, we can live within our means if we know how to cut some corners. To save money, DIY home facial is an option over the salon version. Instead of beauty treatments at beauty salon, I maintain my skin with a home facial once a week. To keep my cost even lower, I purchase value for money skin care products during sales. Whether you buy your products from beauty stores or pharmacies, these places have much to offer in terms of the different brands of products.
For my home facial, I begin with cleansing my face before applying a scrub to exfoliate my skin. I am currently using the Declare softpeeling, a gentle exfoliator to flake away impurities and dry surface. To use, squeeze out an amount enough to cover your face, gently massage on damp skin, avoiding your eye area.
Rinse with warm water and pat dry. After this, apply a mask. I have a preference for sheet mask made from thin fiber sheets. Sheet masks varieties are endless and each for different requirements, from the refreshing, nourishing, whitening etc etc. These are the few I use alternatively.
The instructions on how to apply the mask can be found at the back of the sachets. Take out the mask from the sachet, place to fit your face contours and after 15 minutes remove it. Tap and massage the residue all over your face.
The instuctions will also guide you on what to do next, either wipe or wash away the residue. Some masks does not require rinsing and to be left as it is. If you need to wipe or wash, follow up with a moisturizer. I have long given up on toner and toning is not in my beauty regime any more. Let me share with you on what you can do with the mask next. After your have removed the mask, filter out the remaining residue and rub all over your body. Have a shower and wipe dry. For the mask that does not require rinsing, rub the residue after your shower.
You probably need less than an hour for a DIY facial, done at the comfort and any time convenient for you.
