2) Cleansing
This step is very vital, do not skip it. Always begin your spa treatment with a clean skin, devoid of any dirt. Do not use a soap. Today is different than the usual days, so leave the soap. Instead pick up a nice gentle cleanser and cleanse your face with warm water. If you can find a cleanser with a soy base, then it is even better as they aren’t as irritating to the skin.
3) Try Some Facial Steaming
Facial steaming is as easy as heating a big bowl filled with water on the stove or in the microwave, wrapping a towel over your hair and letting the steam get absorbed in your skin for about five minutes. You can even add a few herbs such as mint, thyme and rosemary along with green tea to the water for making the steam more rejuvenating.
4) Toning
Tone your skin with a nice stimulating toner rich in antioxidants as well as emollients.
