Getting a facial nowadays is very expensive; here are some tips on how to get a professional facial at your very own home: 

 Cleansing Phase

Clean your face thoroughly with soap and water before you start. Choose a cleanser that will match your skin type in order to remove all make up. 

Exfoliate Phase 

Exfoliate your skin by removing dead skin cells that can actually pile on top of another skin. This actually causes dry skin, flakiness or worst – pimples! Get an exfoliating cream or a homemade one to use in your face and massage your face in circular motion. Your chin and your forehead are the only ones you need to exfoliate. 

Steaming Phase

You can get a hot water that you can tolerate and will not burn your skin and dip a wash cloth and press it in your face. Repeat these in 2 to 3 times. This will open your skin pores and you’re ready on Mask phase. 

Mask your face using a masking cream for 10 to 20 minutes and after which you need to moisturize. 

These are the simple steps to pamper yourself.
