Making time for self-care is essential these days. From the hustle and bustle of daily life to the necessary chores and errands, finding the time to unwind can be challenging. If you have been craving a spa day but can’t commit to an appointment, why not experiment with a DIY facial? An at-home beauty routine is easier than you think. Treat yourself to an at-home facial with a few simple steps.

Your at-home facial in 10 easy steps:

1. Set the scene

Make sure you have all the items you need so that everything is in one place. Create a tranquil atmosphere with soft music and scented candles to make your bathroom a peaceful retreat. Put your hair up in a bun and secure any flyaways with a headband. Lastly, remove any existing makeup and wipe off any excess oil.

2. Cleanse

The tendency is to do most things quickly, and face washing is no exception. For this type of treatment, you will want to wash, rinse, and repeat. Take your time, spending at least 1-3 minutes on each round. Lastly, give your skin some TLC with some simple tools, like a jade roller to gently massage the skin.

3. Tone

No matter your skin type, apply a facial toner. Although many people think it is just for oily skin, the truth is that it can provide help for a wide variety of other issues, such as acne and redness. Additionally, it can get your skin glowing by providing a fresh, dewy look. You can spray it on or use cotton pads to apply the formula.

4. Steam

While professional day spas have facial steamers, most people do not have one at home. However, it’s easy to steam things up on your own. Boil water for 2 minutes and wait for it to steam. Place a towel over your head and let your pores open. Ensure you are careful with the hot water and set a timer for 10 minutes.

5. Exfoliate

This is a simple step that is often overlooked. However, exfoliating is a great way to slough off dry skin and allow new cells to flourish. Don’t scrub too hard, as exfoliants have a coarse consistency. Exfoliation can be done up to two times a week, as over-exfoliation could harm the skin. Rinse thoroughly when finished.

6. Mask

There are several options for facial masks, so select one that works best for your skin. You can choose one that is pre-treated with cut-outs for the eyes, lips, and mouth, or you can invest in a tube that will allow for multiple applications. If you go that route, apply a thin layer, and leave it on for the specified amount of time. Masks usually take around 10 minutes to get the job done.

7. Massage

The product you choose to rub into your skin depends on its texture. If you have naturally oily skin, select an oil-free product. For dry skin, facial oil will deliver hydration to your thirsty pores. Use the pads of your fingers to gently create small circles in a clockwise direction, and switch. Stick with this process until the product is thoroughly rubbed in.

8. Serum

Apply Joyōme® Illuminating Day Serum to help visibly reverse the signs of aging. Pat gently into the skin around your eyes, and rub it in everywhere else for an instant glow-up.

9. Eye cream

The skin around your eyes is susceptible and thin, making it easy to damage from repeated pulling. To minimize the wear and tear to the eyes, use your ring finger to pat on the product and use light pressure to protect this precious area.

10. Moisturize

Think of moisturizer as the dessert of your facial. It acts as a layer that works to lock moisture into your skin. When applied to a damp face, water does not have a chance to evaporate. This will keep your skin hydrated and seal in all your good work.
