Finally, something that feels great that's also good for you. A soothing facial will improve the appearance of your skin and relax you at the same time.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Hair Accessories
• Toners
• Towels
• Hot Water
• Exfoliating Cleanser
• Facial Mud Mask
• Herbs
• Oil-free Moisturizers

Step1

Tie back your hair and keep it off your face.

Step2

Place a warm, wet towel on your face and keep it there for a few minutes.

Step3

Remove the towel and wash your face using cleanser that's suitable to your skin type.

Step4

Fill a pot with water. Add herbs suitable to your skin type or a few drops of essential oil. For example, chamomile, fennel seeds and roses are good for dry skin, and rosemary, lavender and peppermint can help oily skin.

Step5

Put the pot on the stove and bring the water to a boil. Remove the pot from the heat.

Step6

Drape the towel over your head and hold your face over the steam. Steam for 5 or 10 minutes, or whatever is comfortable.

Step7

Put on a face mask. If using a clay-based mask, avoid the eye area.

Step8

Lie down and relax as the mask dries. Cucumber slices over the eyes are cooling.

Step9

Rinse your face, making sure to get all traces of the mask off.

Step10

Conclude your facial with toner, then moisturizer.
