From time to time, a mini facial is necessary to give your skin some love, and a chance to rejuvinate and become plump and sexy again. Paying for a facial in this country can be quite expensive, which is why I like to do some mini ones at home, using a couple of products. I try to do a facial at least every week, or every 2 weeks.
First I make sure my skin is clean and free from makeup, so I use the Lush Cosmetics Dark Angels scrub to remove everything from my face, and give my face a good exfoliation and cleanse, to get the blood pumping around that area, and remove any dead flaky skin. I like to do this for about 3 minutes, so my face gets a good massage. I dry my face after.
Then, with my Liz Earl Cleanse and Polish Cloth cleanser on the dry skin, I massage it all over my face for about 1-2 mins (my face absorbs the product quickly!!). Following on with a damp hot cloth, I wipe all the excess product off, and rather than wash my face with cold water after, I dry it, to make sure the pores stay open, ready for the face mask.
Finally I like to use a deep cleansing mask, generally one which is pore penetrating, for example, glam glow mud mask, body shop ionic clay mask, etc... For this instance I am using Avon Pore Penetrating Black mineral mask. They normally say to leave it on for about 10-15 mins, but I just leave it on till it is fully dry and has changed colour. After this I wash it off with warm water, and do not apply any moisturiser/oil/ serum. You can apply them if you want, just to remoisturise the face, I just choose not too.
