Cosmetic Wipe Facial

If you feel that your skin badly needs some deep cleansing and a little bit of reinvigorating, you can always have a facial. Actually, in order to maintain a supple, soft and youthful-looking face and neck, you need to undergo this treatment at least once a month, especially if you are over 30.

However, not many could afford a monthly trip to a salon, spa or dermatology clinic just to have their face prepped and cleaned. If you are one of these people who would want to have fabulous skin but do not want to pay a large sum for a facial treatment in a salon, spa or clinic, do not despair. You can actually have your treatment in the comforts of your own home.

Here is a step-by-step guide to an easy and effective home facial:

Step One: Cleanse

Any treatment that concerns the skin usually begins with getting off the grime, dirt and makeup on your skin. Thus, the first step to an effective facial is by applying a cleansing cream all over your face and neck. You must leave the product on your skin for at least two minutes to give it time to dissolve dirt, make up and oils. Then, just wipe your face with a clean cloth, cotton wool, or facial tissue.

Step Two: Exfoliate

To remove deep-seated dirt and dry skin cells, you need to moisten your skin with warm water and put on a facial scrub, particularly the ones with micro beads. Gently massage the product on your face. Just make sure that you avoid the delicate area surrounding your eyes. After a while, rinse off with tepid water.

Step Three: Steam

Place a basin of boiling water, preferably one kettleful, in front of you. Then, lean over the basin and cover your head with a towel so that the steam will directly reach your face. But do not lean too low because you do not want to burn your face in the process. Make sure that you stay in this position for about five minutes.

Hot steam will open up your pores. If you have problems with blackheads and whiteheads, you can actually try removing them by pressing affected areas with your fingers. Just make sure that your hands are clean and the areas to be squeezed are covered with strong tissue paper.

Step Four: Mask

Place a facial mask all over your face. Just follow the instructions on the back of the product that you are using. If you have oily face, it is advisable to choose an exfoliating or clay-based mask. If your skin is dry, what you need is a moisturizing mask; this will help your skin retain much-needed moisture on your face.

Step Five: Close Your Pores

When the mask feels taut and dry, you can now rinse it off completely. It is best to remove the product with warm water. Your pores tend to open up after being in contact with steam or warm water; to prevent dirt from entering your pores, you need to close them. To do this, splash your face with cool water, concentrating on the areas where your pores are quite large. Dry your skin with a soft towel.

Step Six: Tone

In order to refresh your skin and get rid of excess oil, apply a facial toner on areas that are prone to acne and other blemishes; put special attention to your nose, forehead and chin. If you have extremely dry skin, you can skip this step.

Step Seven: Treat Your Eyes

Apply a generous amount of eye cream or gel on the areas surrounding your eyes. Your eyes also need some attention whenever you are having a facial.

Step Eight: Moisturize

After the cleansing, rinsing, steaming and toning, your face is now ready to get moisturized. Thus, apply a good amount of moisturizer all over your face and neck. This is important in keeping your skin soft and supple and your complexion even. One moisturizer you can use, during your monthly facials or even during your daily beauty regimen, is Dermaxin.

Facial Skin Irritation with EVERYTHING!?

In January I brought Johnson's 3 in 1 Gentle Exfoliating wash and Boot's Cucumber moisturiser. I used both on my face: the Johnson's then stupidly enough the moisturiser (turns out it's a BODY one, not a face one) and I came out in this blotchy red itchy, stinging rash. It calmed down after a few days but appears every time I take my make up off with a make-up remover wipe: I've used T-Zone, Nivea, Cherish and a number of moisturisers. I don't want to waste any more money on products that bring me out in the rash. Thing is is that I resorted to using soap to remove my make up (Sainsbury's 'Pure' vegetable soap) and that brings me out in the rash too. My skin is fine with my make up on (both cosmetic and stage make up) there is no itching or stinging. Only after I take it off.

I would try cutting out anything that contains alcohol, salycilic acid and lanolin, as all of these are common irritants; lanolin is in most soaps and moisturising creams as a thickener, and alcohol and salycilic acid are found in spot treatments and cleansers as a grease stripper. Furthermore, its unlikely any of those ingredients would be in makeup, so it would fit with your symptoms.

If that doesn't help, it might be worth looking into an allergy test?
