<strong>DIY</strong> <strong>Pore</strong> <strong>Cleaning</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Deep</strong> <strong>Cleansing</strong> <strong>Facial</strong> <strong>–</strong> <strong>with</strong> <strong>simple</strong><br />
<strong>photo</strong> <strong>instructions</strong><br />
It’s not everyday that we can take a trip to our favorite spa or beauty clinic <strong>and</strong> then pamper<br />
ourselves <strong>with</strong> a facial. Even if we crave for the experience, it’s unrealistic to act on it, mainly,<br />
because: A. we may not have the budget for the procedure <strong>and</strong> B. we may not have enough time.<br />
There’s only one solution that we can think of <strong>and</strong> it is: Give yourself a <strong>DIY</strong> facial at home<strong>with</strong><br />
inexpensive products that are easily found in drug stores or department stores. Before we get into<br />
that, let’s take a look at some basic information first.<br />
What is a <strong>Facial</strong> <strong>and</strong> What are the Benefits of it?<br />
A facial is a beauty procedure designed to clean the skin. Most people go in to have facial because<br />
it’s relaxing but it’s not just about relaxation. The main goal is skincare <strong>–</strong> for you to have healthier<br />
skin through a thorough cleanse.<br />
Here are some benefits a good facial can give you:<br />
1. Temporarily smooths out the skin on your face (including wrinkles).<br />
2. Softens the skin on your face through scrubbing <strong>and</strong> moisturizing.<br />
3. Fades out spots <strong>and</strong> discolorations.<br />
4. Treats acne.<br />
5. Makes your skin glow.<br />
Types of <strong>Facial</strong>s<br />
There are numerous types of facials. You can choose from these types depending on what your skin<br />
really needs. There are facials for treating acne <strong>and</strong> there are facials that are more centered on antiaging.<br />
The best way to determine what type of facial you need is to, first, identify what your skin<br />
problems are <strong>and</strong> then you go from there. If you’re still unsure, allow an expert to choose for you.
How Often Should <strong>Facial</strong>s be Done?<br />
There is such a thing as getting too many facials. Ideally, you need to have a facial once a<br />
month or once every 3 weeks. The frequency, however, will vary depending on a number of factors<br />
like age, skin type, skincare goals <strong>and</strong> budget.<br />

Now that we know most of the basic information needed, let’s proceed to the <strong>DIY</strong> procedures on how<br />
to do your very own facial at home.<br />
What you need:<br />
Just remember that you do not have to use the exact same products. You may already have some of<br />
the skin care items so go ahead <strong>and</strong> use that instead of buying a new one.

Step 1
Get your hair out of your face by tying it into a bun or by using a headb<strong>and</strong>.<br />
Make sure that you have all of your hair tied up. Using a headb<strong>and</strong> could work better in getting your<br />
hair out of the way.
Step 1 <strong>–</strong> <strong>Cleansing</strong><br />
Cleanse your face by using your facial cleanser. Don’t forget to massage all areas of your face <strong>with</strong><br />
your fingers. Rinse.<br />
TIP: Since our aim is to deep cleanse, use a deep action facial wash.<br />
Step 2<br />
Step 2 <strong>–</strong> Scrubbing<br />
Next, take a small amount of facial scrub <strong>and</strong> massage your face <strong>with</strong> it. Concentrate on oily areas<br />
<strong>and</strong> on areas where you know your pores tend to clog up like your nose <strong>and</strong> your chin. Then, rinse<br />
<strong>and</strong> pat dry.<br />
TIP: A scrub that has multi-function (anti-acne <strong>and</strong> unclogs blackheads) is a great product to use in<br />
Step 2.<br />
Step 3
Step 3 <strong>–</strong> Steaming<br />
Boil some water <strong>and</strong> then pour that out into a wide mouth bowl. Position your face over the bowl so<br />
the steam hits your face. The purpose of this to open pores <strong>and</strong> loosen up the dirt that’s clogging<br />
your skin.<br />
Pat it dry.<br />
Step 4
Step 4 <strong>–</strong> Claying<br />
Time for some clay. Apply a clay mask <strong>and</strong> leave it on your skin for 3-5mins. Clay masks are great<br />
for cleaning pores. They also work wonders for acne-prone skin. Depending on what type of clay<br />
mask you have, it could: absorb excess oils <strong>and</strong> toxins from the skin, it could gently exfoliate the<br />
skin, it can help stimulate circulation <strong>and</strong> so on.<br />
After 3-5mins, you can rinse off the clay mask <strong>with</strong> warm water. Pat your face dry after.<br />
Step 5<br />
Step 5 <strong>–</strong> Peeling<br />
Now it’s time to remove the dirt. Apply a generous coating of peeling mask unto your face. If you feel<br />
like you need to concentrate on your nose, leave that area for pore strip application <strong>and</strong> just go<br />
about applying the mask on the other areas of your face.
Peeling it all off.<br />
Wait for the mask to dry completely before peeling everything off. You won’t be able to see all the dirt<br />
that’s come off, especially if your peel off mask is dark, but you’ll definitely see some unclogging<br />
happening on the pore strip (if you did use one).<br />
Rinse off the remaining bits on your face <strong>with</strong> warm water <strong>and</strong> then pat it dry.<br />
Step 6
Step 6 <strong>–</strong> Moisturizing<br />
Now that most of the dirt on your face is out, all we have to do is restore the moisture of our face by<br />
applying a moisturizing mask. Wait for 15-20mins so your skin absorbs most of the mask’s essence.<br />
Carefully pull it off after the waiting period. There should be some mask liquid left on your face. Don’t<br />
rinse it off. Instead, massage it into your face until it dries.<br />
Step 7 <strong>–</strong> Optional<br />
If you’re going out, you need to lock int he moisture <strong>and</strong> protect your skin. Apply a moisturizing sun<br />
screen that blocks out UVA <strong>and</strong> UVB. It also needs to have the right amount of SPF (30 <strong>and</strong> up).<br />
Don’t forget to moisturize your lips <strong>with</strong> a lip balm.<br />
You’ve Done a <strong>DIY</strong> <strong>Facial</strong><br />
These 7 steps are the basics for a deep cleansing facial at home. You can actually add in a few<br />
more steps if you need to. The great thing about doing a <strong>DIY</strong> is that you can customize it any way<br />
you want. You can even make your own masks using natural ingredients found in your kitchen.
This may not give you the ultimate pampering that you need but this <strong>DIY</strong> is still focused on skincare<br />
which, if you remember, is what a facial is all about. Good luck <strong>with</strong> yours <strong>and</strong> tell us how it went!<br />
