Almost everyone desires vibrant, younger-looking, and spotless skin. One way of getting this is knowing your skin concerns and having a good skincare routine. A good facial leaves your skin looking and feeling stunning, smooth, and youthful. You can leave your skin feeling refreshed in the comfort of your own home by using natural and readily available ingredients, however, if you’re wanting real results, be sure to talk to a skincare professional such as Ageless Living Cold Lake.

Natural home-made ingredients are a great alternative when you don’t have time to visit a skin care professional. Home-made facial products will keep your skin vibrant and feeling good as you wait for your next appointment with a professional. Try these ten at-home facial options to refresh your skin in the meantime.

1. Vinegar Facial

Vinegar has a long history as a facial toner since the times of Helen of Troy. Interestingly, it is still effective and widely used today. Apple cider vinegar has numerous benefits for your skin ranging from eliminating wrinkles, acne, and sunburns to cleansing and tightening skin and spot treatment. The result is a clean and tight skin that glows.   

2. Lemon Facial

Lemons are rich in Vitamin C — an antioxidant that lessens skin damage caused by harsh environmental conditions. They are used widely in skin care products because they are effective toners that improve skin elasticity and reduce blackheads.

3. Charcoal Facial

Pamper your skin with a charcoal facial that clears and soothes. Activated charcoal eliminates bacteria, toxins, and other forms of impurities from your skin. A charcoal facial works best when mixed with bentonite clay and baking soda. While bentonite clay helps to nourish your skin, baking soda absorbs excess oil and acts as an exfoliator. When using this facial, it is essential that you avoid the eye and mouth area.

4. Raw Milk

You can give yourself a spa-level facial using milk at home. Milk is not just for drinking or preparing tea; it can be as beneficial outside your body as it is inside. It contains calcium, alpha hydroxyl acids, vitamin B, and antioxidants that have benefits for all skin types. For oily skin, milk removes excess sebum in the skin pores, while for dry skin it moisturizes and nourishes skin cells. Milk is a natural face cleanser, exfoliator, and soother. It also eliminates unwanted tans and pigmentation. A good milk facial leaves your face feeling fresh and rejuvenated.

5. Eggs Facial

What better way to moisturize your skin than using an egg. Also, if you have dry skin an egg will do magic; just use the yolk. If you have oily skin, use the egg white mixed with lemon or honey. If you have normal skin, the entire egg will be just fine. Apply the part of the egg that fits your skin type and welcome your new fresh face.

6. Oatmeal Facial

Don’t just use oatmeal for breakfast; use it to get flawless and vibrant skin. Oatmeal is rich in antioxidants, avenanthramides, and contains anti-inflammatory properties that soothe irritated and acne-prone skin. It is also popular for its cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturizing properties.

7. Yogurt Facial

Yogurt is not only for drinking, cooking and baking. You can use yogurt as a facial mask to harness its numerous benefits including glowing and youthful skin. Yogurt contains four nutrients, namely zinc, calcium, B Vitamins, and Lactic Acid that make your skin healthy and flawless. The nutrients can also help to cleanse your skin and tighten pores. Mix yogurt and honey for soft, smooth, and hydrated skin inside and outside.  

8. Honey Facial

Honey is a natural anti-irritant, antibacterial, and antioxidant. Whether you have oily or dry skin, honey can help. For oily skin, honey retains moisture without the feeling of oiliness. For dry skin, honey hydrates while improving elasticity for smoother looking skin. Mix honey, olive oil, and lemon for maximum nourishment. 

9. Aloe Vera

The list of natural at-home facial options isn’t complete without Aloe Vera. This miracle plant is a natural skin rejuvenator. It soothes the skin to give you a glowing and spotless complexion.

10. Alumier Enzymatic Peel

If you are looking for more tangible results for your at-home facial, then Alumier Enzymatic Peel is the way to go. Alumier Enzymatic Peel is an effective exfoliator that combines lactic acid, fruit enzymes, aloe vera, sodium hyaluronate, vitamin B5, and gluconolactone. Lactic acid and fruit enzymes eradicate dead skin cells and promote skin renewal while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Aloe vera soothes the skin while sodium hyaluronate, vitamin B5 and gluconolactone hydrate and soften the skin. The result of using this enzymatic peel is a supple, younger looking, and radiant complexion. The major advantage of this peel is that it is suitable for most skin types and can be safely used at home once or twice a week. Incredible, isn’t it?  

In case you want to chill at home and pamper yourself, these options will work for you. Set a relaxing spa-like atmosphere when having the facial by turning on soothing music and lighting some candles. As you use these at-home facial options, it is important to note that these remedies can briefly make your skin feel nice, but do not give tangible results.
