Indulge in a Luxurious At-Home Facial
Treat yourself to a little self-care with a rejuvenating at-home facial—because you deserve it! This simple 5-step routine will leave your skin feeling refreshed, radiant, and deeply nourished. For the best results, set aside 20-30 minutes in the evening before bed, when your skin naturally goes into repair mode.
Before you begin: Tie your hair back or wrap it in a towel, choose skincare products suited to your skin type, and set the mood with soft lighting, scented candles, and your favourite calming playlist.
Step One – Cleanse
Start by applying a cleansing cream to your face, letting it sit for 1-2 minutes to break down dirt, oil, and makeup. Gently remove it with cotton pads, leaving your skin fresh and ready for the next step.
Step Two – Exfoliate
Dampen your skin with warm water, then gently massage a generous amount of facial scrub in circular motions (avoiding the delicate eye area). This sloughs away dead skin cells, revealing a brighter complexion and prepping your skin for deeper treatment. Rinse thoroughly with warm water.
Step Three – Steam
Steaming opens up the pores, making them more receptive to skincare treatments.
How to steam your face:
- Fill a bowl with freshly boiled water.
- Lean over the bowl at a safe distance, draping a towel over your head to trap the steam.
- Steam for 5 minutes (or 3 minutes for sensitive skin). If it feels uncomfortable, stop sooner.
This step softens the skin and helps flush out impurities, leaving your face feeling revitalised.
Step Four – Mask
Apply a face mask suited to your skin type and follow the recommended time on the packaging.
While you wait:
- Lie back, close your eyes, and place thin cucumber slices over your eyelids to refresh and soothe tired eyes.
- Take this time to truly relax—listen to calming music, practice deep breathing, or simply enjoy the moment.
Once time is up, rinse off the mask with warm water, then splash your face with cool water to close the pores. Pat your skin dry with a clean towel.
Step Five – Moisturise
Seal in hydration with a nourishing moisturiser.
Extra skincare tips:
- If you use toner, apply it lightly to oily areas (nose, chin, forehead) using a cotton pad.
- If you have a skin serum, now is the perfect time to apply it for maximum absorption.
- Gently massage moisturiser into your skin using upward and circular motions to boost circulation and enhance your glow.
For the under-eye area:
Use your ring finger to lightly tap on an eye cream, starting from the outer corner and moving inward. This delicate touch helps reduce puffiness and fine lines without tugging at the skin.
