Doing your own facial?

No need to break the bank for facials. Just head over to the kitchen! The best facials are done at home by your very own precious hands! Nobody knows your skin better than you do.

Mix together a little honey (2 teaspoons), brown sugar (1/4 teaspoon), and a splash of water (1 teaspoon) altogether in a bowl. Gently scrub the mixture on your face for a minute, then leave on like a mask for 10 minutes. After rinsing, drape a warm water-soaked towel over your face for a minute or so. It’s a sticky process, but it makes the skin look fresh and healthy!

TIP: Do remember not to do this scrub everyday. Make it a habit 2-3 times a week only. And dont foget to exfoliate your lips!

Moisturizer

My all time fave for moisturizing is Cetaphil. Cetaphil has a variety of skin care products, so make sure to pick up the 'Moisturizing Cream.' It's scent free, dermatologist recommended and an absolute keeper! Winter, spring, summer or fall, there has never been a day where it gets greasy. My skin drinks this moisturizer!

My tip is, pick up a dime size of the product and first rub it between your hands and run your hands generously over your face. Make sure to get in the nooks and cranny's of your face!

Moisturizer should be applied 3-5 minutes before your apply your concealer/foundation.

TIP: If your body is screaming 'THIRST', dont let it down! Feel free to use this moisturizer ALL OVER!! You will get an amazing moisture pay off anywhere on your body with Cetaphil!
