Naturally treating your skin, body and senses™

DIY facial at home

Start by gently cleansing the skin with a gentle natural cleanser removing all traces of make-up and surface grime. I find a cleanser which has to be massaged in helpful as this starts to boost blood flow.

Next prepare a bowl of boiling water with a couple of drops of essential oils on the surface of the water. Place head over water and cover with a towel so that head is completely enclosed. Steam face for about five minutes. This helps boost circulation, oxygenate the tissues, increases tonality and improves the texture of the skin. (Caution: I would not advice steaming the face if you have hyper-sensitive skin or any form of inflammation).

Follow this with an exfoliating treatment based on natural ingredients and ‘roll’ the treatment rather than ‘scrub’ to prevent scratching the surface of the skin. Rinse with filtered water.

Next apply a mask suitable for your skin type. If you want to refine, deep cleanse and clarify congested skin, then use a clay based mask. If you want to hydrate and balance dry, damaged skin, then plump for a cream based mask. Again rinse with filtered water.

Finish with a facial oil or balm designed to soothe and restore balance. This again depends on your skin type, but ensure the product is pure and organic. Massage well into skin using upward and circular motions. Your skin should now be glowing!
