There is so much pollution, dust and dirt in the air that very easily settles on our faces as we go about our busy lives. These aren’t the only things in the air that can be damaging to the skin; these days the air carries a lot of free radicals and toxic gasses as well, especially in the city. These can all gather on the outermost layer of the skin, causing clogged pores and eventually skin problems and acne.
This is why it is so important to do a proper face clean-up now and then, but getting to the saloon is not possible for everyone every time. Learning to do it yourself at home not only solves the problem but also saves a lot of time and money.

Here are some of the things you will need to gather for your home face clean-up:
- Oil cleanser
- Face wash/Cleanser; ensure to only use the ones that suit your skin type
- Facial Scrub

- Facial Toner
- Moisturiser that suits your skin type
- Face towel

How to do Spa-Style Face Clean at Home?
Here is how to do a spa-style face clean at home:
1. Cleanser
Take some oil cleanser on your hands and gently massage it into your face with circular motions. Run your fingers under warm water, just dampening it and continue with the circular motions. Now wash your face with a lot of water until all the oil cleanser has been washed away. Oil cleansing removes dirt and grime from your face by dissolving all the dirt and any makeup you may have on your face with the sebum that naturally forms on it.
Now with some face wash or a gentle cleanser, wash your face to remove any excess oil. Once done, pat with a clean face towel, but do not pat it completely dry. Your face should still be damp for the next step.
