At Home Facial for Beautifully Glowing Skin (Tutorials for Natural Exfoliator + Mask Included)

        Blemish-free, glowing skin can be hard to achieve, especially for active, acne-prone teenagers. But having healthy and beautiful skin doesn't have to be a hassle. You also don't have to spend hundreds of dollars on products that "may" work or load up on concealer which might even make your condition worse. Making your own face exfoliators and masks at home are a cheap alternative to store bought products that are packed with glow dulling chemicals and residue. It's all natural, quick, and fun to do! Treat yourself to a facial without the bill that comes with it! Do it with friends or do it yourself...either way, you deserve some time to relax and make yourself even more gorgeous!

*Please remember that washing your face 2 - 3 times daily is key (at least once with a cleanser); doing this facial alone will not get rid of all your blemishes. Also, do not do this more than once a week. Constant exfoliation is not healthy for you skin for it may cause irritation. Please be extra cautious if you have sensitive skin.

 

Step 1 - Cleansing

• Cleanse  you face with your ordinary cleanser to rid your skin of the grime, dirt, and oil. I use Go Clean 360 Anti-Breakout Cleanser with the little scrublet.(orange bottle).
• Wash off with warm water to open up pores.
• Pat your face dry. You do not want to irritate it any more than you have to.

Step 2 - Exfoliation

Citrus Sugar-Rose Exfoliator

• 1 lime/lemon
• Granulated sugar
• Rose water

1. Take one lime or lemon and squeeze about 1/2 teaspoon of juice into a small bowl.
2. Start by adding one tablespoon of sugar. Use real granulated sugar. Keep adding more until it is slightly watery, but you can feel resistence while stirring. It should be a little bit thinner than a paste.
3. Add one more teaspoon of sugar.
4. Add 5 drops of rose water to the mixture. Stir well.

• After you are done patting your face dry, take the exfoliating face scrub into your hands and apply to face. Do not be rough with skin, it may cause irritation.
• Add more if needed. Rub skin GENTLY for at least 1 minute.
• Rinse off with warm water. Do not try to rub it off. Let the water wash it away instead.
• Pat face dry.

Step 3 - Face Mask

Pumpkin-Avocado Face Mask

• 1/2 can pumpkin puree
• 1 avocado
• 2 tablespoon cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 teaspoon milk
• 1 egg + 1 egg yolk
• 5 drops rose water

1. Mix them all together and gently apply to your face, avoiding the eyes and mouth.
2. You may use an eye mask, but I don't recommend it because it has strings that would get in the way. I suggest going the old-fashioned way with cucumber slices for your eyes. (optional)
3. Relax for 15 minutes.
4. Rinse it off with warm water and pat your face dry.

Step 4 - Moisturize

Normal/Dry Skin: Use your regular moisturizer to soften skin as the last step.

Oily Skin: To moisturize your face but keep it from getting oily, use a cotton ball to blot on rose water all over your face. It does wonders and smells great!

Step 5 - Enjoy your clean, smooth skin!
