Dry skin, it’s time to be replenished! If you can’t make it in to see us once a week, you can do this at-home facial to keep your dry skin naturally hydrated and soft.
This routine is perfect for anyone with dry, aging, or sensitive skin. For those with oily or acne-prone skin check out our Oily & Acne-Prone At-Home Facial, for those with combination skin check out our Combination Skin At-Home Facial.
Set aside at least half an hour for this facial, an hour is better. Have somewhere comfy to sit while your masks set. You can put on your favorite playlist and your softest robe and treat yourself to some quality you-time. Or, you can get some friends together and share the self-care. Giving each other facials can be a wonderfully sweet experience for couples, men need facials too!
Make sure you have easy access to a sink and keep a few dry, soft towels ready to gently pat your face dry after cleansing. This facial is best after our Bath & Body Care Ritual so your whole body can feel clean, soft, and cared for.
Here it is, your Dry & Sensitive At-Home Facial in just 8 steps!
Step 1
Cleanse with Lemon Creme Cleanser
Gently apply Lemon Creme Cleanser and rub onto skin with gentle, circular motions. Let sit for a few moments, then rinse thoroughly with warm water.
Natural cleansers made with moisturizers are gentle on dry, sensitive, and aging skin.
Step 2
Exfoliate with Ylang Ylang Flower Scrub while your skin is still wet from rinsing the cleanser. Gently massage away dirt, oil, and impurities. Rinse with cool water.
Step 3
Purifying Pomegranate Peel
Apply Purifying Pomegranate Peel and let sit for 10 minutes. Gently rub the mask off with the tips of your fingers and warm water.
Pomegranate is a natural exfoliant, similar to a chemical peel but without all the harsh effects on your sensitive skin!
Step 4
Tone with Nectar of Youth Mist.
Hold bottle about six inches away from your face and gently spritz your face and decolletage.
Rose water is a naturally moisturizing skin superfood that tones and hydrates.
Step 5
Second mask with either White Tea & Arnica Calming Mask or Cool as a Cucumber Hydrating Mask.
Smooth onto skin and let sit for 10 minutes. Rinse with cool water.
Cool water will allow your pores to close, trapping in all that natural moisture from the mask.
Step 6
Tone with Nectar of Youth Mist.
Hold bottle about six inches away from your face and gently spritz your face and decolletage.
This natural toner will seal in the hydration from Comforting Mask.
Step 7
Gently apply Atlantic Algae Brightening Serum or Roman Chamomile Calming Oil — or a combination of both!
Using soft, circular motions apply this serum across your face and let it soak in.
This natural brightening serum helps your skin look radiant.
Step 8 — Daytime
Finish with Eminence Tropical Vanilla Day Cream for natural and organic sun protection.
Step 8 — Nighttime
If it’s time for bed, use either Rose Geranium Firming Creme or Marula Kiss Night Creme to hydrate and restore your skin while you sleep.
