Pampering yourself with a facial is a beautiful and relaxing experience – a restful interlude for a busy woman. I do find though, that the loveliness falls a bit flat when I leave the beauty salon and am facing the world with a shiny face and without a skerrick of make-up.
Time your facial appointment for late in the day so that you can go straight home.
Because the benefits of a facial are not specific, I personally prefer to put my time and money into treatments where I will see a definite result:
However, if you do like to indulge in a salon facial now and again, always be sure that a rinse-off face mask is used. Peel-off face masks can pull the skin too severely away from the face and this just encourages gravity to cause sagging.
Why not enjoy a do-it-yourself facial?
Step-By-Step for a Home Facial:
TIP
Baking powder is an excellent exfoliant
TIP
A whipped egg-white (albumen) face mask is a tried and true, age-old beauty treatment.
Feel pleased that you have spent time doing something nice just for you. You will feel relaxed, refreshed and rested, but best of all, you now have extra money to spend at the beauty salon.
