Fall Beauty Tips

DIY Facial

To get a similar experience as if you went to a spa, create a relaxing atmosphere by putting on some soothing music, light a candle or a diffuser with essential oils. Now that you’ve set the tone, let’s talk about simple steps to your DIY Facial!

Step 1 - Double Cleanse

This is important as the first cleanse will help break down and remove any makeup, environmental grime, dirt and excess oils from the day. The second cleanse should be done with a product that gently cleanses, preps and refreshes your skin.

I use Plexus Joyome® Revitalizing Daily Cleanser

Radiate confidence with refreshingly clean skin. Joyome® Revitalizing Daily Cleanser gently washes away dirt, oil and makeup, leaving your skin feeling soft, smooth and hydrated. This revitalizing formula is infused with cranberry extract to gently exfoliate, while natural prebiotics reduce moisture loss and is pH formulated to support a balanced and healthy skin microbiome.

How to use

Apply 1 pump to face with water. Massage into a lather, avoiding direct contact with the eyes. Rinse and repeat, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. For best results, use twice daily (AM/PM)

Step 2 - Exfoliate

Use a scrub with small circular motions. Be careful to NOT over exfoliate.

I use an exfoliating face mitt from Norwex!

Step 3 - Mask

Apply a mask, there are several types of masks including cream/flay masks and sheet masks. Choose one that has ingredients in it that corresponds to your skin issues or concerns (i.e., oily, dehydrated, dull, sun damaged.). If I have the time I love a nice clay mask so I can relax more while it dries. But if my time is limited the sheet masks are great and an additional hydrating element too.

Step 4 - Steam

By putting your face over a bowl of hot water with a towel over your head or use a warm towel wrapped around your face. It will also depend on what type of mask you are using, but if using a warm towel you can just use that to remove your mask when you’re done steaming.

Step 5 - Moisturize

There are many wonderful serums you can use to massage into your skin to help soothe and hydrate.

I use Plexus Joyome Illuminating Day Serum it helps visibly rewind the signs of aging with six clinically demonstrated anti-aging key ingredients.
