Homemade Facial..

The number of times a home facial should be done depends upon your age and the nature of skin. For those who are in the age-group of fourteen to twenty-five and who have normal skin or at least do not have a very dry skin, doing facial once a month is sufficient but for those who have dry or dull skin facial twice a month is necessary. For those who are older, facial once a week is a must so that age does not show on the face.

Given below is the method to do a half-hour home facial

•   Tie your hair tightly towards backside.

   

• Clean the face with a cleanser so that the makeup and the dust particles, if any, are removed. Use tissue-paper or soap and water to clean your face. It is necessary to clean your neck also along with face.

   

•   Use cotton wool to apply freshner on the face and neck so that the last traces of cleanser are removed.

    

•  Put moisturizer in dots (bindis) on your temples, cheeks and chin and then let the skin absorb it.

  

•   Now wash the face with clean warm water.

•   Make homemade face pack according to the nature of your skin (know your skin type), and apply it on your face and throat, leaving the area around the eyes. Soak the cotton wool in rose water and place it on your eyes. You can use unboiled milk or alcohol free freshner also, instead of rose water.

•  Now lie down and allow the face-pack to dry for about twenty minutes.

• Remove all the remains of face-pack. Dry your face and neck by patting with a soft towel and apply a good moisturizer.
