Step 1: Light a candle to set the mood

You are most likely home, and you've probably been home, so creating a space that doesn't remind you that you are in your current enviroment is obviously super IMPORTANT. Lighting your favorite scented candle, playing a relaxing spa playlist, and / or running a bubble bath with your favorite bath bomb is helpful. If you have a spa like robe I suggest to put it on as well to set the mood.

My personal favorites!

Step 2: Prep & Steam Your Face

CLEANSING- After you set the mood in your favorite way, it is time to wash your face with the AgeLoc Nu Skin LUMISPA™ Cleanser if you plan to use your cleansing tool or your favorite cleanser of choice such as CeraVe which I alternate use in my personal facial routine. 

STEAMING- In creating a facial it is essential to steam your face. After cleansing you can steam your face by either 1. Heating water until it begins to boils and carefully place your face over to receive the steam to open your pours. 2. You can boil the water first and then place a towel carefully in the water, let it cool enough to ring out the water, and then place over your face. As an added aroma therapy you can add essential oils to the water, such as lavender or eucalyptus depending on the scent you prefer. 

Step 3: Add that eye mask

Under eye masks are essential to your life, facial life that is! There are several different options that help target specific eye needs such as bags, black tones, and puffiness. An eye mask overall will help you look a bit more ALIVE. 

Step 4: Tone, Tone, Tone

There are all kinds of toners that target different skin challenges and it can get a little overwhelming to choose what is best for you. Honestly trial and error is what works with me and sometimes my skin after a while reacts to the toner and I need to change it out. Currently I am using Laneige Essential Power Skin toner.

Step 5: Moisturize & Massage (or use the Roller)

Moisturizing is key to the end of your routine and especially in this mini facial. You can either use the roller or your hands to massage your face. If you have not invested or bought into the roller, no judgment just use your hands! You can follow the steps below to a massage I found a few years ago and use when I create my own facials (you can find the original post here). Please keep in mind with either the hand massage or roller you need to use a skin oil or light moisturizer with lots of slip. 

Roll your face

*If you have a roller already then you're most likely a pro at it. If you are new to using a roller please make sure to use a face oil or a moisturizer that gives a lot of slip so the roller does not tug or pull on your skin. My personal favorite and one I use is the Superberry Hydrate and Glow Oil from youth to the people.

Step 6: Moisturize those Lips

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask. I don't always use it as recommended I actually sometimes use it after my facial routine or any time my lips feel drier than normal. 

Step 7: Breathe, Relax and Enjoy :)
