So-called experts recommend that you get a pricey facial every month, but that doesn’t mean you can’t give your skin a perfectly fine facial in the comfort of your own home. By following these easy steps, you can enjoy a fantastic treatment at home that will leave your skin glowing and healthy.

Steps to a wonderful home facial experience include the following:

• Exfoliation—Using a scrub to remove all the dead skin from your face and pores will create a more even looking skin tone and help erase age lines.
• Cleansing—Eliminating makeup, oils, and dirt is important to procure the full benefits of a facial, so be sure to treat yourself during the process. Always totally rinse off and pat dry with a clean towel to achieve a nice outcome.
• Steaming—Steaming helps open up your pores. Light some tea candles and listen to rain music to relax during the process of placing a hot towel over your face.
• Clay mask—The inclusion of a clay mask in your routine can cleanse your pores and remove most impurities. Remove the clay with a steam towel after 15-20 minutes. Following up with a hydrating mask to allow the skin to absorb extra nutrients is highly recommended.
• Moisturization—Retain moisture with an oil or cream lotion, but be sure to allow the benefits to soak into your skin for at least five minutes to provide great tone.
