Lockdown beauty tips: How to recreate a salon style facial at home
Everything is closed, we are social distancing, covid19 has now stopped us leaving the house for many of the reasons we normally would, but we shouldn’t stop pampering? We think not. It’s time to take measures into our own hands, and here are our DIY lockdown beauty tips to create that salon style facial from the comfort of your own home.
1. Cleanse
30 seconds
Dry skin – non-foaming milky cleanser
Oily Skin – purifying or foaming cleanser
Acne prone – an antiseptic cleanser which minimises pores
2. Exfoliate
Gently exfoliate the skin for up to 60 seconds before leaving the product to set a little
Use good quality face cloths
3. Mask
Apply mask according to directions
Apply a rich hand cream once you’ve finished dabbing on the face mask, slipping cotton or plastic gloves on top to seal the product into the skin.
Continue working while you wait if you want
4. Moisterise
A good face mask prepares and primes the skin, expanding pores to allow hydrating ingredients to penetrate deeply, so this is the time to apply your favourite moisturiser, serum or face oil.
Damp skin takes on four times as much moisture.
It’s not just about beauty, with these lockdown beauty tips, its about keeping your sanity!
