6 Steps to Health Beautiful Facial Skin

6 steps to healthy, glowing skin

You've helped your customer choose the perfect facial mask for her skin type. Now you need to teach her how to use it. Here are some advice on how best to apply a normal facial mask (we tend to look at facial mask sheets on this site as there are more benefits I believe. But we dont want to leave out the people who enjoy the regular facial masks.

• Start by cleansing the skin. "Use some sort of acid cleanser so it will take dead skin off and allow the mask to penetrate," Fomenko says.
• If your customer has the time, advise her to steam her face for a few minutes either by using a facial steamer or by draping a towel over her head and leaning over a sink full of hot water. This will allow for deeper mask penetration.
• Apply the mask. Beauty Without Cruelty's Keim likes to do this before getting in the bath—first because it minimizes the mess and second because the steam from the bath keeps masks from drying out. "If they stay warm and moist, [masks] are very active," she notes.
• A few minutes before it's time to remove the mask (go by the manufacturer's instructions), apply a hot compress to the face, and leave it on until it's time to wipe the mask off.
• After removing the mask, moisturize the skin. For customers with dry skin, recommend a heavy nourishing cream. For normal to oily skin, go with a light serum. Follow with sunblock.
• Repeat two or three times a week for acne or very oily skin.For normal skin, once a week is fine.
