Why this worksSummer can be harsh on your skin, leading to dryness and dullness. By performing a facial at home, you can deeply cleanse, hydrate, and rejuvenate your skin, making it look revitalised. It's all about using the right techniques and products to enhance your natural glow.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Cleanse Your Face Start with a gentle cleanser suited for your skin type. Massage it into your skin in circular motions for about one minute, then rinse with lukewarm water to remove impurities.
  2. Exfoliate Gently Use a mild exfoliating scrub to slough off dead skin cells. Apply in a circular motion, avoiding the eye area, and rinse off thoroughly. This step helps to reveal brighter skin underneath.
  3. Hydrate with a Mask Apply a hydrating mask rich in moisturising ingredients. Leave it on for the recommended time to help infuse moisture into your skin, then rinse off for a refreshed feel.
  4. Moisturise and Protect Finish with a nourishing moisturiser that suits your skin type. If you're heading outside, don’t forget to apply sunscreen for added protection against sun damage.

Where people go wrong

Many people skip the exfoliation step, which can leave the skin looking dull. Others may not use a suitable mask for their skin type, leading to irritation or ineffective hydration. Always ensure to patch-test new products to avoid adverse reactions.

The pro moveConsider adding a facial oil to your moisturiser for an extra layer of hydration and glow.
