Once a Week Facial Treatment for Acne Prone Skin
Once a Week Facial Treatment for Acne Prone Skin
Hello beautiful people,
Hope you all are ready for the beautiful summer. Today, I am going to talk about a treatment that I have tested myself. This is a treatment that you can do at home using the products that you already have. I will do a list of Products that I use for this treatment as my next post. There are 7 steps for this treatment, And each step has a unique benefit for your skin. I recommend following all the steps. Okay, let’s start
- Cleanse your face.
You need to cleanse your face with a face wash that use for acne. This is the first step of cleaning our faces. Mainly, it cleans the surface layer of the skin. It removes pollutants, oil, dirt and helps to unclog the pores.
2. Scrub or steam
Then use a mild scrub and scrub your face for 3,4 minutes. This helps to open up pores, removes dead skin and make your skin looks fresh. Please don’t over do it because it will make your skin very dry. we don’t want that because believe me or not it causes more acne.
If you have active acne, don’t scrub your skin. Steam for 7,8 minutes instead using a face steamer or bowl of hot water.
3. Apply a Clay detox mask
Next step is putting on your clay mask. Clay mask is my life saver. Clay masks have detoxing properties which means it has ability to pull oil, bacteria and other dirt from the skin. It also minimize the appearance of pores. I usually leave my clay mask for 10 minutes. These detoxing masks can dehydrate our skin that’s why next steps are pretty important. You may apply clay masks for couple times during the week, but make sure to moisturize your skin after every use.
Now our faces are pretty clean. Let’s treat them.
4. Apply a hydrating sheet mask
This step is to hydrate the clean skin. Sheet masks can do some magic too. They can moisturize our skin pretty well. I leave my sheet mask for 20 minutes. This is a very important step and don’t ignore doing this.
5. Massage on top of the sheet mask
When you remove your sheet mask massage your face little bit. I will post more massaging techniques in the future. This will help the blood circulation to the facial skin tissues. This is very important and it will prevent aging.
6. Toner
Next, we should use a toner to close all the open pores. Toner is a very important to prevent acne. Lots of people neglect this step for some reason. I was one of them while ago. Once, I heard what kind of a difference it could make on our skin, I started using it. It mainly closes the open pores. Also, toner restore skin’s pH balance, it act as moisturizer and it adds an extra layer of protection. Please please please don’t forget this step.
7. Serum and moisturizer
Last step is applying a serum and a moisturizer. There are different type of serums, so choose something that address your concerns. Use a moisturizer that does clog your pores.
