The Anti Aging Facial
An effective Anti Aging Facial is designed to reduce the signs of aging by repairing damage to the superficial layers of the epidermis. Aging and the look of aging is not a simple matter. The look of your skin is determined by a number of factors. One of the most significant is your genetic history. Other factors which determine whether or not you will be susceptible to premature aging include: your diet; any drugs you may take or have taken; if you smoke; your alcohol consumption; hormones; and your exposure to harmful UVA/UBA rays of the sun. All of these have a major impact on the health of your skin but the greatest impact of all is from the last one – the sun.
There’s a trick question many people get wrong, ‘What is the largest organ of the body?’ The answer – your skin! Not only does the skin cover every outer part of our body it covers every system and organ within the body too. Our skin serves a number of primary functions without which we would not survive the elements. Our skin absorbs moisture and nutrients; it regulates our body temperature; it allows us to eliminate or excrete sweat and toxins; it protects us from exposure; it permits us to sense our surroundings through touching and feeling. The skin is our first line of defense and takes the most punishment of all our organs. This is why it ages.
We can’t completely stop or reverse the signs of aging but the concept of anti aging is all about slowing the process down. If you’re interested in an anti aging facial which will help repair damage and slow down the signs of aging follow these simple steps -
1. Remove any and all makeup with a gentle, preferably all-natural makeup remover.
2. Cleanse your face using a soft cloth, warm water and a natural facial cleanser. Those containing Green Tea extracts are particularly effective. Gently rub the cleanser into your face and be sure to leave it on your skin for a few minutes.
3. De-fat the facial skin with alcohol or acetone. Use just a small amount on a cotton ball. This will strip away all oil from your skin.
4. Apply your exfoliant. There are numerous brands available but be sure to read the label and chose a quality brand. Note: Be careful not to get any of these cleansers in your eyes and don’t get too close. Do not apply to your eye lids either. Leave the exfoliant on for a maximum of 10 minutes. To stop the exfoliant reaction with your skin rinse several times with cool water that has been blended with a few spoon fulls of baking soda. You may want to do this a few times over a few days to really get ride of that old dead or dying facial skin. Book a weekend off and stay out of the sun.
5. Apply anti aging Serum. The serum will penetrate deep into your facial tissue because the exfoliant has removed the thick dead layers of skin and open the path to younger open pores beneath.
- Apply a Vitamin C serum or another quality anti-oxidant serum.
- Now apply a skin lightener serum.
- Finally apply a replenishing Serum.
6. Now be sure to use Anti-Aging moisturizing lotion daily in the morning after you cleanse. If you are going to be outside at all make sure you use a moisturizer with a minimum SPF 30. Get in the habit of cleansing your face in the morning right after you rise and at night just before you go to bed.
Once you have done a few anti aging facials you will find your skin looks and feels younger. You may need to do this a few times a week in the beginning to see results and then drop to a monthly regiment thereafter. Be relaxed! Welcome to the new you – welcome to your anti aging face!

How to Give Yourself Natural At Home Facials
An at home facial can help you improve skin tone, reduce wrinkles and fine lines, treat sunspots and lessen the appearance of spider veins or damaged blood vessels.T his combination of beauty and cleansing procedures can sometimes be costly at a salon — $100 or more! But not to worry; if you’re on a tight budget, you can learn to give yourself facials right in the comfort of your own home.
A basic home facial usually includes the four steps of cleansing, exfoliating, removal of blackheads and facial massage. You won’t have access to the equipment and products used in a regular salon or spa, but having beautiful, blemish-free and glowing skin is still attainable. Spending a little extra on high quality products will give you the best results, but soap, natural masks you can make in your own kitchen, and oil- and alcohol-free cleansers will also do just fine. Here are the four basic steps to a relaxing and beautifying at-home facial:
Cleansing is the first step. For people who have sensitive skin, a fragrance-free cleanser should be used to avoid irritations that can result from using scented products.
Exfoliation, the removal of dead skin cells that cling to the skin’s outermost surface, is next. You can use a facial scrub, an exfoliating cream or mask or a glycolic acid peel. These are the three most common products used in salons and spas. There are also many natural substances you probably have around the house that have been proven to be effective for exfoliation, such as the combination of oatmeal and eggs. Here’s a simple recipe for an effective natural cleansing mask that uses simple ingredients:
1 egg white
1/2 cup cooked instant oatmeal
1 tsp. lemon juice (use the juice of a fresh lemon, if possible)
1 tsp. olive oil
To create the mask, place the cooked instant oatmeal in a bowl and add the egg white, olive oil and lemon juice. Stir until smooth, apply to your face and neck and very gently massage it so that you get exfoliation without causing any damage. Don’t rub it until it flakes away, just long enough so it will remove the dead skin cells. Leave it on for 15 minutes. If you can, take the opportunity to lie down while you wait, to enhance your at-home spa treatment with a little relaxation. After 15 minutes, rinse the mask off with warm water and pat your skin very gently to dry it.
Extraction of blackheads is next. A blackhead strip, such as Bioré, can be used. Most of the time it doesn’t remove all of the blackheads, but if used routinely it will keep your skin blackhead-free. Be sure not to use it more often than the package directions indicate though. A metal blackhead extractor is commonly employed in spas in conjunction with steam and is more effective, but you probably shouldn’t try using one unless you have experience with it.
Facial massage is the last step in your at home facial. Its main purpose is to improve skin circulation and also relax tension in the facial muscles. Once there is proper circulation, more beautiful, glowing skin will result. To massage your skin, gently massage upward as you open your mouth and extend your jaw. Try to release the tension in your facial muscles as you do the massage.
Having a beautiful skin doesn’t need to be expensive. All it takes is proper daily skin care, a good diet, a healthy lifestyle and a monthly regimen of facial skin care. The skin regenerates every four weeks, so a monthly facial is just what you need to keep your skin healthy and beautiful. And the best thing about it? You can do it right in your own home.
