D.I.Y Facial

As a Beauty Therapist the question I am asked most often by clients is how to care for their skin.

I advise that where possible you ask a qualified Therapist to diagnose your skin type.  Our skin changes as we age, I had normal skin for most of my life, the odd teenage spot of course but normal skin.  Once I hit the grand old age of 35 I noticed that my skin was changing.   Some dry patches, wrinkles (yikes) and redness around the nose area.  I realised my skin was becoming drier with age and after retraining and being lucky to have a tutor who specialised in skin I then found out that not only was my skin dry it was also dehydrated!  Once diagnosed I was able to properly care and treat my skin.  The steps are many and elaborate but they work and I am once again complimented on the condition of my complexion.

Skin type is one thing but here is what I recommend for daily at home skin care.

Step 1 - Cleanse to remove make up
Step 2 - Cleanse the skin now that the make up has been removed
Step 3 - Tone the skin (it works to restore skin and prep in order for the next steps to work!)
Step 4 - Treat with a serum
Step 5 - Moisturise

and at least once a week you should DIY Spa and have a facial, here's what I suggest
Step 1 - Cleanse to remove makeup
Step 2 - Cleanse skin
Step 3 - Exfoliate
Step 4 - Steam ( put your face over a bowl of hot water with a towel on top, it works honest!)
Step 5 - Use a face mask
Step 6 - Tone
Step 7 - Serum and Moisturise

I know it sounds like a lot of steps but people it will keep your skin treated, clean and in great condition.

So that's what I do, I'm a beauty product junkie so I've got loads on hand lol What do you guys do to care for your skin?
