Facials. Tips for Facials

Your face is your key to the world, as you talk, smile, sing, and even when you are listening to others. Your face is exposed to the key elements of the world, the warm air, the cold, and the salt from the sea, and the dry air of the mountains. 

To protect your face, to make you feel and look younger, a facial is going to be the key to feeling good about yourself and your skin. 

What might surprise you is how easy it really is to give yourself a facial. There are various types of facials to clean your skin, to soften your skin, to keep clean and for a good tightening of the skin. 

In this article I am going to tell you a little about a home facial, that will clean your skin, and rejuvenate the color of your skin at the same time to make your face glow as you smile, talk and listen to others all the time. 

Using a cup of potting soil, the deep dark rich soil that you use for planting vegetables or flowers, without rocks, sticks or stones in it, add a cup of warm water, two teaspoons of milk, a teaspoon of mayonnaise, and one teaspoon of sour cream. Mixing this together, you will have a thick mixture. 

You can keep this mixture refrigerated until you have time to work with it and put it on your face, or you can use it all at one time and then throw it away. Because you have milk and sour cream, and mayonnaise in this mixture, you do not want to leave it out all day or for days at a time and then try to use it. 

What you are going to do is apply this mixture to your face. If you keep it in the fridge, you might want to let it sit at room temperature for a while, or rub it around in the palm of your hands to warm it before applying it to your face. 

Apply the mixture to your face, and then wait about fifteen minutes for it to dry. It is going to become itchy for some people, as you are not used to having this on your skin. 

What you are going to do then is rinse it off with warm water. Do not use any soap at this time, just warm water. The mixture is going to pull off the dead skin and it is going to lightly rub your skin, giving you a clean feeling. 

There are many other types of at home facials that you can give to yourself to make you feel great. One type of facial is just using a light mixture of mayonnaise, (real mayo not salad dressing) over your face. Allow this to dry and then rinse with warm water. 

This helps to tighten your skin a little while adding the oils to your face that you need to feel soft at the same time. 

Still another type of facial that you can use at home for oily types of skin is the use of warm water and yeast. If you have bread yeast in a package or in a jar, a tablespoon of yeast, and a half-cup of water, mixed and then put over your face is how you start. 

Then you will allow the water to dry for about ten to fifteen minutes. Wash off with warm water without soap, soap takes away the natural cleaning and tightening of the water and yeast for cleaning your skin. Your oily problem will not be a problem today. 

If you have really dry skin there are a few things that you can do to help your face clear up and smooth out as well. What you want to use is a mixture of two tablespoons of whole milk and two tablespoons of honey together. It will take some mixing but you can mix this together and then put over your face. 

Let the mixture dry for about ten minutes, and then wash away with a warm water. This is going to help soften your skin without problems. This is a messy type of facial but really well worth the efforts!
