DIY Home Facial Routine for Glowing Skin

Step 1: Face Mask

- Start by cleansing your face with a gentle cleanser to remove any dirt and makeup.

- Apply your favorite face mask evenly across your face and neck, focusing on areas that need extra attention such as the T-zone or areas with blemishes.

- Choose a mask suitable for your skin type, whether it's hydrating, clarifying, or brightening.

- Leave the mask on for the recommended time, usually 10-15 minutes, then rinse it off with lukewarm water.

Step 2: Scrub

- After removing the face mask, gently exfoliate your skin with a scrub to slough off dead skin cells and reveal smoother, brighter skin.

- Use a scrub with fine particles to avoid irritating your skin, and massage it in gentle, circular motions.

- Focus on areas prone to dryness or congestion, but be gentle around sensitive areas like the eyes.

- Rinse off the scrub with lukewarm water and pat your skin dry with a soft towel.

Step 3: Face Oil

- Apply a few drops of your favorite face oil onto your fingertips.

- Gently massage the oil onto your face and neck using upward strokes, avoiding the eye area.

- Face oils help to nourish and hydrate the skin, leaving it soft and supple.

- Take your time with this step, enjoying the soothing sensation and allowing the oil to fully absorb into your skin.

Step 4: Gua Sha Facial Massage

- Gua sha is a traditional Chinese technique that involves scraping the skin with a massage tool to promote circulation and lymphatic drainage.

- Apply a few drops of facial oil or serum to your skin to create slip for the Gua sha tool.

- Start with your forehead and gently scrape the tool in upward and outward motions, working your way down to your jawline and neck.

- Use light pressure and be careful not to drag or pull on your skin.

- Repeat each stroke 5-10 times on each area of your face.

Step 5: Face Massage

- Finish your facial routine with a relaxing face massage to further promote circulation and relaxation.

- Use your fingertips to massage your face and neck in gentle, circular motions, focusing on areas of tension or tightness.

- You can incorporate techniques like tapping, pinching, and kneading to stimulate the muscles and promote a healthy glow.

- Take deep breaths and enjoy the calming effects of the massage.

Step 6: Sandalwood Mask with Aloe Vera

- Mix sandalwood powder with fresh aloe vera gel to create a soothing and nourishing mask.

- Apply the mask evenly to your face and neck, avoiding the eye area.

- Leave the mask on for 15-20 minutes to allow the ingredients to work their magic.

- Rinse off the mask with lukewarm water and pat your skin dry.

- Finish by applying your favorite moisturizer to lock in hydration and keep your skin glowing.

Enjoy your DIY home facial and revel in your radiant, refreshed skin!
