I love to
go to facial spas to have my facial treatment. The excitement of me going there
is just amazing that I'm always looking forward to seeing my regular beauty
specialist to give my skin a good scrubbing and pampering. But lately I'm
missing a lot of sessions due to work.
I miss
the laid back manner I used to get. Just laying on the treatment bed, close my
eyes, even doze off or dream that I'm in some place beautiful like in a cabana
near the beach while somebody does and put the good stuff on me. Ang lakas
maka donya levelz right?
Anyway,
since I don't have the luxury of doing that lately, I'll do my own facial
treatment today. (From langit biglang baba sa lupa ang peg) lol!
Doing
your own facial is not stressful at all. All I need to do is to spend time
alone in the bath. A little spa music does the trick on me. As it gives
the pleasure of just going with the flow while preparing the things I need. Yes, ladies no rush rush when you do your own facial at home please. :) Let your
body relax so your skin would go on relax mood too.
Today I
opted to use my konjac sponge without the cleanser.
Why
without the cleanser? My konjac sponge has its own natural cleansing power
already. And it's naturally has alkaline to cleanse. Preserve skin
elasticity and very good on taking off dead skin cells.
I swear
by My Konjac Sponge. It is definitely the best non-abrasive skin exfoliator
I've ever tried. 5 thumbs up!
I give my
self a good facial scrub of this down to my neck to make sure I take off all
that dead skin cells out. A good 2 mins scrubbing is all it takes to
finish this part
Then I
put on Vichy Normaderm Imperfection Prone Skin Lotion. This is a toner, which I
thought was quite well formulated for oily/acne-prone skin. It gives that
refreshing feeling on my face without the sting!
It has very
interesting ingredients to it. Water, betaine that serves as an
anti-inflammatory (for acne-prone skin). Glycerin act at a moisturizer and Salicylic
acid which is good for acne / oily skin. And over all most of its ingredients
are for clearing the skin. Love di ba?
Then I
used Innisfree Soybean Energy Essence. This one is the cheap dupe of of
SKII Essence. It's all natural and fragrance free. It acts as my skin
brightener.
Lastly I use
Skin Food Ancient Rice Emulsion. This is now my fave moisturizer. It has these 3
rice ingredients that gives nutrients to my skin. It leaves my skin nourished,
firm at the same time soft to the touch.
I let
each product set on my skin before I top it up with another. Just to make sure
all those good nutrients and minerals really sink in to my skin. This is what
I really call pampering the skin. I don't put make up after this
process so I could let my skin breathe and be natural as it is.
Overall,
this process only consumed 30 mins of my ME time so I still have a long day to
spend with my Family and other things.
So how do
you do your DIY facial???
