Homemade Facial Peel

Dead skin and surplus make-up can make the skin dull and lifeless and can actually prevent treatment products from penetrating deep into your skin where they need to work.

Step One Before applying your homemade facial peel take time to cleanse your face with our camomile cleansing milk which suits all skin types.

Step Two Now give your face a massage to improve blood circulation and encourage lymphatic drainage.

Step Three Next take a clean face cloth soaked in hot water and squeezed. You can add a few drops of your favourite aromatherapy essential oil to the cloth if you like, lemon grass is my favourite. Place the hot cloth over your face until it cools. Do this about 5 times. The heat will open your pores and prepare them for your facial peel.

We use fruit in our peels because they are a natural exfoliate, full of antioxidants to help fight free radical damage such as wrinkles and sagging skin. Fruit also lightens skin, helping with age spots and freckles, giving your skin a brighter youthful appearance.
