A Beautiful Complexion Starts with a Facial
A facial is a cosmetic treatment of the face, which involves a variety of skin care treatments. They are:
1: Cleansing the skin
2: Exfoliation (removal of dead skin cells that cling to the skins surface)
3: A massage to increase circulation
4: A mask suited to your skin type see What is Your Skin Type?
5: An application of toners and creams
The purpose of a facial is to exfoliate and nourish the skin which will then bring about a clear and beautiful complexion.
Normally facials are performed in a beauty salon or spa at a cost of about $75. Furthermore it is recommended that you get a facial every four to six weeks for the best results. However, at a cost of $75 or more, both men and women have taken it upon themselves to give themselves a facial while relaxing in the comfort of home.
There are many good facial kits on the market but my personal favorites are facials kits made with natural ingredients such as herbs, salts and essential oils. There is also a wide variety of homemade skin care recipes that provide exceptional results and at a fraction of the cost at a salon or spa. Additionally, herbal facial kits and homemade skin care recipes are eco-friendly and do not contain some of the harmful skin care ingredients we here about today.
My favorite facial kit is "Herbal Facial" and contains enough ingredients for 5 facials! The ingredients in this kit are all natural and contains the follows: Herbal steam - to cleanse and open pores, Cleaning grains - to remove dead skin and unclog pores, a French clay mask - for deep cleansing and to stimulate circulation, a facial oil blend - to lightly scent, moisturize and balance, and flower water - a gentle refreshing toner and astringent for all skin types. This kit will leave your skin clean, nourished, and with a radiant complexion. This kit also comes with step by step instructions and at a cost of $24 that equals out to less than $5 a facial!
