Facial Advice- Top 3 Facials to Try!

When it comes to facial you might not be comfortable always talking about them with your girlfriends. The fact is that facials are the most effective tools that you have to get your skin clear and vibrant. Facials help to eliminate dead skin cells and stimulate new growth. The best facials are able to be created using the all natural ingredients that you already have in your kitchen. The use of a facial is something that has been done by women for over the last 200 years and its simple, easy and fun to make and use on. The best thing that you need to remember is that before using a facial you need to carefully wash your face with lukewarm water and use a high quality cleanser that has been blended for the best affect on your skin. Rinse very, very well and pat slightly dry.

 

To get started with your facial you need to make the clay that is the foundation of your mask. You can do that by mixing one quarter cup of fullers earth to one half cup of water. Blend until thick but smooth, being sure to add any oils that the recipe calls for. If after adding the oils its still too dry add a little more water a few drops at a time. If you have dry skin then you might want to substitute whole milk for the water, another option is to use half coconut milk and half Shea butter if you have extremely dry and over sensitive skin.
