A facial is a wonderful deep cleanse

A facial is a wonderful deep cleanse for your skin which will leave your skin rejuvenated and glowing : an indulgent, relaxing and blissful way to escape from the world. Before a cleansing facial you should prepare a quiet place where you won't be disturbed, one where you can close the curtains, light some candles, play some relaxing music and just chill.......

A facial should go like this

• Clean your skin and eyes, making sure you have removed all traces of make-up.

• Take some toner and just make sure you remove all traces of cleanser.
• Exfoliate. Not too much : we don't want to see bone.
• Remove the exfoliation using warm water and then gently wipe your skin with toner.
• Before your mask is applied you might at this stage want to spread onto your skin, a thin layer of essential oil suitable to your skin, mixed with a carrier oil.
• It's time for a mask, which should be left on for at least 15 minutes although 30 is ideal.
• Wash your skin with warm water and then gently wipe your skin with toner.
• Moisturise your skin to finish.

DON'T BE ONE OF THE MANY PEOPLE WHO NEVER TAKE THE TIME TO DISCOVER HOW TO DEAL WITH THEIR PROBLEM SKIN, WHICH CAN BE IMPROVED BY 100% !!

Sometimes the secret to problem skin is so easy to solve, women kick themselves when they discover how easy it is to have perfect skin.

Your skin is your largest organ and is vital to your body because it stops your insides falling out (Yuk!) but also gives you self confidence if it's in good condition.

Skin has a barrier which protects the body and face as long as the ph is not undisturbed. This barrier has an ideal ph of between 4.5 and 5.5.

Most have no idea of the damage they are doing when they wash their face/body using harsh shop-bought soap. You literally wash away the protective barrier leaving the skin exposed to bacteria which can cause blemishes and dehydration which can cause fine lines, looking like wrinkles, not to mention redness caused by sensitivity to such products.

The very best product to wash in unless you are covered in make-up is WARM WATER finish by toning with witchazel for oily skin and rosewater for all other skintypes.

What skin type are you?
