FAB Facial


Hello girls/boys,
Why not indulge yourself with a simple FAB Facial!
This is a 'easy' step by step process to a 'at home' facial :D

before you begin, you will need-
-Cleanser
-Facial Scrub
-Bowl of boiling water
-Towel
-Facial Mask
-Cool Water
-Toner (Toning Lotion)
-Moisturiser
-Eye Cream
-Cotton wool/Cotton pads

STEP 1:
Apply cleanser to your face, take tine to massage into the face as it encourages a brighter complexion and can help reduce puffiness. Leave on for 1-2 minutes to give it time to dissolve grime, oils and stale makeup. Gently wipe off the cleanser with cotton wool (cotton pads).

STEP 2:
Dampen your skin with warm water. Gently massage a blob of facial scrub over your face in small circular motions (avoiding the eye area). This removes dead skin cells leaving your skin feeling smoother, it also prepares your skin for for the beneficial treatments ahead. Rinse off with warm water.

STEP 3:
Fill a bowl with boiling water, lean your face over the top placing a towel behind your head to capture steam. Stay there for up to 5minutes to allow the steam to warm and soften your skin. This will also open your pores, you can remove blackheads with 'tissue covered fingers' after this step.
AVOID this step if you have very sensitive skin or are prone to broken veins.

STEP 4:
Smooth on your face mask with your fingers. Choose a clay based mask if you have oily skin, or a moisturising one if you have dry to normal skin.
leave on for approx. 5minutes or as long as the instructions on the back of the bottle say.

STEP 5:
Rinse away facial mask with warm water, finish off with a few splashes of cool water to close your pores and freshen your skin ad pat dry with a towel.

STEP 6:
soak cotton wool (cotton pad) with toner, smooth over oily areas, such as nose, chin and forehead - also known as 'T-zone'.

STEP 7 :
Apply mosturiser to your hands and and gently rub together, then lightly pat your face with the moisturiser all over.

STEP 8:
Place a small amount of eye cream to the finger next to your 'Pinky finger' (this finger is used because it applies the least amount of pressure) dot it under your eyes and continue to do circular motions 'inwards' around your eyes. TIP: do not do circular motions 'outwards' around your eye as this pulls on the skin and encourages wrinkles.


ENJOY YOUR SMOOTH, FRESH FACE! x o x o

P.S. Do this once a month in-between normal skin cleansing routines to maintain beautiful skin.
