At home facials for brighter, healthier skin!

by Lety Soto CMA

Do you ever feel like your skin looks dull? It may be because of a build up of dead cells. Our skin should shed daily and be replaced with younger cells, but that’s not always the case. An excess of dead cells can cause clogged pores and a dull complexion in all skin types. Whenever I feel my skin looks dull I give myself an at home facial. It’s important to use soothing products in combination with exfoliating products since we will be causing some trauma to our skin to rev up or cell renewal. It’s easiest for me to start off in the shower because I can utilize the steam from the hot water. I cleanse with So Universally Clean You Can Eat Off My Skin, a luxurious botanical wash with aloe, vitamin e and essential oil of lavender. It cleans my skin without stripping it of essential moisture. Next is Illuminating Moon Rock Anti-Matter Polish it uses the same crystals as professional microdermabrasion machines and exfoliates without scratching or irritating your skin. It’s gentle enough to use everyday and a great way to keep your skin looking fresh! I do my usual shower routine and when I’m done I’ll use Galactic Core Your Pores Anti-Matter Mask. With pumpkin enzymes that benefits all skin it is full of vitamin a, c and zinc. This mask tones and tightens while drawing out impurities from deep below the surface (tingling may occur especially if used after exfoliation, if tingling persist then wash off immediately or use on clean non-exfoliated skin). Even though exfoliation is a great way to boost cell turn over to get healthy new cells we also loose some essential moisture in the process, so make sure to replace it with Galactic Glove Seal Your Skin Anti-Oxidant Serum. This silky serum will increase smoothness, hydration and even help with breakouts, inflammation and enlarged pores. It’s perfect for all skin types and skin ages! And of course, if your not staying home after your facial you always need to apply your sun block to keep your skin healthy, try Cosmic Ray Shield SPF36 Your Skin’s Solar Eclipse, it smells great and absorbs easily.
