Skin Care Tip: In between regular monthly facials, I highly recommend you perform a mini facial on your skin at home. This will give your skin extra results, above and beyond your normal daily skin care routine.
How to give your skin a mini facial?
Step 1: Cleanse your skin with a mild cleanser.
Step 2: Use a mild facial scrub or at-home skin peel to remove surface dry skin cells. Rinse well.
Step 3: Immediately apply a few drops of a skin serum. (Serums have a small molecular structure and should always be used under a moisturizer or mask.)…
Step 4: Apply a thin coat of a mask to entire face and neck (optional). The mask will help push the serum deeper into the skin.
Step 5: Leave on 15 minutes, rinse well and apply your favorite moisturizer.
