Let’s talk skin type!
Are you oily, dry, sensitive, or combination? Here is a simple guide:
Oily skin – gets shiny throughout the day, feels greasy to the tough, large open pores, prone to spots and blackheads
Dry skin – small/invisible pores, may have visible fine lines, flakiness, feels tight and uncomfortable
Sensitive skin – reacts to certain products/ingredients, redness, flakiness, may feel itchy or irritated, may have spots or rosacea
Combination skin – may be a mixture of any of the above
Step 1 – Cleanse your face
Remove all makeup using Rose Micellar Water (coming soon!) on cotton pads.
Take a small pea size amount of Nourishing Neroli Cleansing Balm and melt it between your fingertips. Thoroughly cleanse your skin by massaging the product in small circles all over your face and throat. Rinse with warm water and a flannel or muslin cloth, and repeat the cleanse to make sure your skin is perfectly clean. The smell and feel of this product will instantly put you in to spa relaxation mode!
Step 2 – Exfoliate
Using a fingertips worth of Pomegranate and Apricot Skin Polish, massage the product all over the face and throat, again in small circles. Use gentle pressure. Take care not to get near the eyes, but I would recommend gently scrubbing your eyebrows aws dry skin can build up in that area. Rinse the product away using facial sponges or a wet flannel, making sure to get all of the grains off of your face.
Step 3 – Cleansing Mask
Apply Purifying Pink Clay Mask in a thin layer over the face using a brush. Be sure to avoid the eye area. Allow the mask to set for 10-15 minutes then remove with warm water and a flannel, muslin cloth, or facial sponges. This doesn’t set in to a dry tight mask, it dries to a silky smooth texture and your skin may even absorb a lot of the goodness from the mask.
Step 4 – Tone
Use my Neroli Balancing Toner and lightly mist all over your face, making sure your eyes are closed. Alternatively, apply a few sprays of toner on the palms of your hands and gently pat your face. Breathe in the neroli essential oil and let it uplift your mood. Allow to air dry.
Step 5 – Nourishing Mask
Sheet masks are a great product for hydrating and nourishing your skin. Even if you do look a bit crazy wearing them! My Hyaluronic Acid Sheet Mask is perfect for boosting your skin’s hydration and making it looking plumper and younger. I team this up with my Regenerating 24K Gold Flexi-Gel Eye Masks, which work MAGIC on your under eye area. Making dark circles, fine lines, and puffiness disappear. After you remove the mask, be sure to massage the leftover liquid into your skin and give it a couple of minutes to soak in before the next step.
Step 6 – Facial Oil
Massaging your skin with my Radiant Facial Oil will stimulate the circulation, plumping your skin and making it look firmer and younger. Take 2-3 drops of Oil and massage your skin in an upward motion towards your temples. Take your time, enjoy the feeling of the massage and how your skin feels smoother and firmer. You can also massage a few drops on your decolletage and neck to get full benefit of the youth infusing super ingredients. Lavender, Geranium, Jojoba, and Vitamin E calm redness, firm up the skin’s elasticity, and brighten dull tired skin. There’s a reason why this is my bestseller!
Facial Massage Step by Step
1: Neck Massage
Start by applying a few drops of our luxurious Radiant Skin Facial Oil to your fingertips. With upward sweeping strokes, massage gently from the base of your neck towards your jawline. This helps improve circulation, reduces puffiness, and promotes lymphatic drainage, leaving your neck feeling rejuvenated and refreshed.
2: Jawline and Temples
Next, focus on your jawline. Using firm pressure, massage along the jawline upwards towards your temples. This technique helps release tension in the jaw area, sculpting and defining your facial contours for a more lifted appearance.
3: Lip Area Massage
Moving on to the delicate lip area, gently massage around your lips, starting from the center and moving outward. This helps improve blood flow, reduces fine lines, and enhances the natural plumpness of your lips, giving you that irresistible pout.
4: Cheeks
Now, let’s give those cheeks some love! With firm upward strokes, massage from the apples of your cheeks towards your temples. This stimulates collagen production, tones the skin, and imparts a youthful glow, leaving your cheeks looking rosy and radiant.
5: Eye Massage
Take a moment to treat your delicate eye area. Using gentle pressure with your ring fingers, massage around the eyes from the inner corners towards the temples. This helps reduce dark circles, puffiness, and crow’s feet, leaving your eyes looking brighter, refreshed, and youthful.
6: Nose and Forehead
Finish off by massaging up the nose and across the forehead, moving from the center towards the temples. This relieves tension, promotes relaxation, and smoothes out fine lines and wrinkles, giving you a serene and stress-free complexion.
Step 7 – Eye Cream
Use a tiny amount of my Pro-Age Eye Cream, like the size of a grain of rice. Apply with a tapping motion following the bone of the eye socket. Feel the cooling action of the green tea as it reduces puffiness. Arnica and raspberry extracts brighten dark circles. Hyaluronic acid deeply hydrates and plumps up lines and wrinkles.
Step 8 – Moisturise
You will only need a small amount of moisturising cream. Again massage this well into the skin in an upward motion to boost circulation and anti-ageing benefits. You can choose from:
Daily Hydrate Rose Facial Cream – a good all rounder for all skin types with Hyaluronic Acid to hydrate and reduce signs of aging
Restorative Frankincense Night Cream – naturally firms and tightens the skin with frankincense and delivers intense moisture deep within the skin
Sensitive Geranium Facial Cream – great for dry, mature, or sensitive skins with added moisture of shea butter to repair and protect the skin’s natural moisture barrier
You should now feel chilled, with glowing skin and a relaxed mind!
If you’d like, you can give your body some love by moisturising with my Relax Body Oil, massaging it into your limbs moving from the extremities towards your heart. You will be ready to fall asleep after this, believe me. And don’t forget to finish with my Orange and Jasmine Hand Cream, your hands need love too!
I feel so relaxed just writing all of this! It is so important that we make a little time for ourselves, and ideally do this facial every week or as often as you can. Once you start using these products, they are addictive! You will never again overlook your skincare, because you know that you will look and feel better after using them.
