Oily & Acne-Prone At-Home Facial
Oily and acne-prone skin rejoice! This at-home facial will restore your natural glow and visibly reduce blemishes right at home. When you can’t make it into the salon weekly, treat your skin to a DIY facial at home.
Set aside at least half an hour, a full hour is best. Keep a few dry, clean towels nearby, and make sure you have access to clean running water. Grab your softest robe and get ready to soothe, cleanse, and replenish your skin with Amanda Ross Skin Care goodness.
This relaxing ritual is perfect to do alone, with friends, or with your partner. We suggest doing this at-home facial for oily & acne-prone skin after the Bath & Body Care routine to allow you an all-over feeling of whole-body self-care.
Ok, let’s get to your 7 steps to visibly clearer and cleaner skin!
Step 1
Cleanse with Soapberry Foaming Cleanser and rinse with cool water. The foaming power of soapberry combined with the soothing extracts of white tea and aloe vera will start this at-home facial off with cleaner skin.
Step 2
While your skin is still wet, exfoliate with Ylang Ylang Flower Scrub by massaging your skin in gentle circles. Rinse and pat your skin dry.
As you exfoliate with gentle jojoba beads, the scents of rose and ylang ylang will fill the air.
Step 3
Now that you’ve used your gentle physical exfoliator, it’s time for this fruity, calming, and hydrating enzyme mask. Apply the Purifying Pomegranate Peel in a thin layer to your entire face, neck, and decollete. Let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove by splashing several times with warm water, followed by a final rinse of cool.
Step 4
Apply a very thin layer of Cinnamon Bark Balancing Clay Mask all over your face. Let it sit for 10 minutes or until it is almost completely dry, then rinse or gommage the mask off your face. If choosing to "gommage", be sure to let the excess fall into the sink or better yet do it outside...a clean, warm washcloth works beautifully after this mask to grab the bits of clay that may stick to eyebrows and cheeks.
Step 5
Use Soapberry Foaming Cleanser to get the rest of the mask off, make sure to get all the mask out of your eyebrows! Rinse with cool water.
Step 6
Seal the deal with with Nectar of Youth Mist, don’t forget to take a deep breath of rose as you do.
Step 7
Let the Nectar of Youth absorb, then complete your at-home facial for oily skin with Sea Buckthorn Clarifying Oil. Gently massage into your beautifully exfoliated and toned skin with upward strokes. Make sure to cover your neck and décolleté.
