Indulge in a day of self-care, because you deserve it.
Here’s how to do a simple but effective facial using SCO’s beauty products.
1.Mood                                                        Â
Switch on some relaxing music and light a candle, create a soothing ambiance, and enjoy a stress-free home facial.
2.Cleanse
The crucial step in any facial is to begin with a clean face. Wash your face in lukewarm water and apply a mild foaming cleanser to your face. Opt for oil-free cleansers if your skin is too oily. Best, try our Olive & Castor Bean Cleansing Milk. Massage a couple of pumps onto damp skin using circular movements, and remove using Organic Muslin Cloth dipped in hot water.
3.Exfoliate
Now its time to exfoliate, sloughing off the top layer of your skin cells ensures deep penetration of nutrients applied topically. Exfoliating removes your dull skin and reveals fresh, beautiful younger-looking skin.
Take a small amount and massage on your face in circular motions. Never overdo it and rinse well with warm water.
4.Steam
Facial steaming cleanses, nourishes, and feels luxurious. Steaming will release trapped sebum and acne-causing bacteria.
Take a bowl with hot water, wrap your head with a towel, and lean over the bowl. Allow the steam to pass across your face for 5 to 10 minutes. Adding slices of orange will soften your skin. Likewise, adding essential oils like rosemary or chamomile has a calming or refreshing effect on your skin.
5.Apply a face mask
Clay masks detoxify and purify your skin. Also, it unclogs and shrinks your skin pores, regulates sebum production, and oxygenates your cells to reveal smoother and softer skin. Try SCO’s Instant Glow Face Mask.
Mix a tsp of clay with a tsp of warm water to form a paste and leave it to activate for 2 minutes. Apply to your face avoiding the eye area. After 10 minutes, remove it off with a cloth dipped in hot water. Follow it up with Rosewater Hydrating Spritz to remove any traces of the mask.
6.Apply toner
Toners effectively balance your skin’s pH levels and make your skin less prone to infections and oiliness-the result? A vibrant and smoother looking skin. Toner calms and balances your skin, making it suitable to apply moisturizer.
SCO’s Rosewater Hydrating Face Spritz and Toner locks in moisture stimulates collagen and restores hydration. Spritz it any time of day to boost up hydration.
7.Eye cream
The next step is to dab your favorite eye cream under your eyes and brow bone, including the inner area by your nose. SCO’s Eye Cream restores elasticity and vitality to your delicate eye areas, reducing puffiness, dark circles, and appearance of fine lines.
This nourishing cream is made of Coenzyme Q, Peruvian herb, and hyaluronic acid and gently nourishes your delicate eye area. Want to have more beautiful eyes? Try our Eye Glow that’s made with fresh rose petals and super oxidant vitamin C. It targets dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines giving you youthful glowing eyes.
8.Moisturize
Finally, its time to nourish your skin with your favorite serum or moisturizer-try our Fountain of Youth Face Cream or Hydrating Serum to quench your thirsty skin. After applying the hydrating products, do a facial massage to boost your blood circulation and lymphatic drainage.
To do a top-notch facial massage, begin at your chin and move outwards. Follow this method around your nostrils, behind your ear lobes and the center of your forehead. Use your fingers, gua sha tool, or a roller. Avoid bruising yourself-the focus is on draining, not rubbing.
