5 At-home Skincare steps to pamper your skin

As the schedule between your “office life” and “home life” becomes significantly more blurred, funding ways to unwind your skincare, anxieties, and stress at the end of the day can sometimes become next to impossible. 

Luckily, you can pamper yourself to reduce your mental stress and make your skin feel special after a daunting and hectic work schedule. Nighttime is a great time to start. “During the day, skin is in a protective mode, but the skin becomes more relax and starting repair mode at night. It can effectively accept extra love and pampering”, says Renee Rouleau, celebrity aesthetician and founder of her eponymous skincare line. 

Here is how you can treat your home skincare to a DIY facial—5 Incredible steps for a perfect at-home skincare spa treatment.

Step 1: Cleanse

I order to get productive and efficient results; the idea is to start with a clean slate. The general rule is that you should use a cleansing lotion or oil first to remove it if you are wearing makeup. Then, you cleanse again with a lightly foaming cleanser or exfoliating gel to remove residue.

The emollients used in cosmetics are removed more effectively if you put some foaming gel on your face and start massaging slowly and gently with fingertips. To rinse and cleanse your face and body properly, skincare specialists suggest using a microfiber washcloth. It provides lifting action and makes sure all dead skins come off effectively.

You can use sulfate-free, low-foaming gel full of nutritional components to hydrate your skin. 

Step 2: Rejuvenating Body Scrub

For a glowing and smooth body, you can use homemade scrub. Mix some brown sugar and olive oil with the water and give a gentle massage on your feet, hands, knee, and other areas of the body using your fingertips

You can also add some manuka and honey, which are beneficial for dry and oily skin types. Lemon is also helpful for an uplifting scent. Use the scrub when you take a bath. Rub it on your body in a circular motion, and it will allow your skin to remove dead particles effectively.

Step 3: Refreshing Foot Mask

You often neglect taking care of your feet, but they also deserve proper treatment from time to time, especially when fielding jobs. For a refreshing treat for your feet, you can use oatmeal, cornmeal, sea salt, and olive oil. Mix them well in equal quantities, and you can add a few tbsps of aloe vera to get a mask-like consistency. Aloe vera will help you to get instant glowing results. 

Adding a few drops of refreshing peppermint oil and mix them well. Apply this mixture to your feet and massage in a gentle motion. Leave for a while, and then wash it carefully. Use this mixture two times a week, and see the results.

Step 4: Steam Facial

For home-based steam treatment, take a bowl full of boiled water. Water should not be too hot because it can be harmful to your skin. Using hot water for steam may burn your skin and not give effective results. 

You can add a couple of drops of lavender oils. Tea tree oil is a highly recommended form of lavender oil for acne-prone skin. You can also add a few drops of rose absolute oil if you have dry skin. 

You can follow a steam treatment with a purifying clay mask or apply some toner and moisturizer for better results. Steaming your face helps to get clear, glowing, and acne-free skin. 

Step 5: Softening Hand Treatment

For a softening treat for your hands, try using a moisturizing scrub made from 1tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp sugar, and a teaspoon of almond extract. Mix it properly and apply it to your hands, then massage it in circular motions all over. After a few minutes, wash it with lukewarm water until you remove the mixture by cleaning it properly. Finish this procedure by applying moisturizer hand cream or lotion.
