>Pamper Your Skin in the Comfort of Your Own Home

Now with these tips, one doesn’t have to go to the salon anymore to get that facial. Save enough money for pampering your skin. With these rejuvenating facial tips, savvy techniques in caring for our skin in the comfort of our own home is revealed.

Facial needs only 20 minutes of your time! To get a most flawless skin, the following steps are your guide:

1. Lather, rinse, repeat- The key to removing grime is in a slow motion. Here’s how it’s done: Pull your hair back, so you can wash up to the hairline, an area prone to oiliness. Dampen skin, then spend at least a minute massaging your most luxurious cleanser, into skin in upward, circular motions. “Gently kneading helps minimize puffiness and stimulate circulation,” says Sonya Dakar of the Sonya Dakar Skin Clinic in Los Angeles. Rinse thoroughly, then pat dry (rubbing can damage skin) with a towel. Velourlike towels for babies are the gentlest.

2. Use steam to deep-clean-“Steam’s heat helps soften skin, so you can slough away debris without causing inflammation,” says Kate Somerville, founder of Skin Health Experts in L.A. If you don’t have a steam machine, you can still get out of the best of steaming by soaking a washcloth in warm water, wring it out and drape it over your face for five minutes.

3. Blackheads, begone! – Although aestheticians are trained to perform extractions to squeeze bacteria out of clogged pores, you could bruise skin if you try this trick at home. (Their expert techniques don’t harm skin.) Thankfully, there is a safe way to clean pores. Try a peel with at least 5 percent glycolic acid. Paint it on with a fan brush; start at the jawline and work toward the forehead (avoiding eyes). You might feel a slight tingling—that means it’s working
