Giving yourself a salon-like facial at home might sound intimidating but we’re here to tell you the secret that it definitely doesn’t have to be. Sure, there are a lot of steps involved, and it’s definitely the kind of self-care ritual to indulge in when you have some extra time on your hands, but we are fully convinced our at-home facial routine is almost as transformative as an in-office booking.

No matter the state that stress, lack of sleep, or one too many glasses of wine throws your skin into, it’s guaranteed to give you the super potent glow. So take a deep breath, light a candle, tap that diffuser, put together a playlist, and have at it.
How To Do An At-Home Facial
Step 1: Cleanse Thoroughly
The first step to any skincare regimen is to wash your face. For folks with dull and dry skin or anyone looking for a little extra glow, use a hydrating cleanser with skin-loving ingredients such as vitamin C, E, AHAs, and hyaluronic acid as they help ward off dullness and pigmentation. To ensure you remove every last bit of dirt and makeup that your cleanser may have missed, make sure to follow with a good toner. Just make sure that the product is alcohol-free, so it doesn’t dehydrate your skin.
Step 2: Exfoliate Your Face And Lips
Next, it’s time to exfoliate and slough off dead skin cells. Start by exfoliating your face with a gentle, chemical exfoliant that suits your skin type. Your peel will help remove pore-clogging build-up, giving your skin a clean slate for the products you add later on. Then, exfoliate your lips with a lip scrub to remove dead skin cells.
Step 3: Do A Hydrating Mask Or Gel
Up to bat, some TLC courtesy of eye and face masks geared towards your specific skin types and concerns. Your face mask would help hydrate and calm the skin post-peel while targeting your skin concern depending on the formula you choose. Oh, and don’t forget your peepers! Eye masks are a great way to get a multitude of giggles from one tickle and can help diminish puff, dark circles, fine lines, and wrinkles, the full gamut.
Step 4: Tone And Hydrate!
It’s time to give your skin some more hydration. Press your toner into the skin using toning pads or cotton pads to hydrate and balance the skin. A good toner will help amplify the penetration of your serums and moisturisers.
Step 5: Massage And Treat
Apply the massage cream all over the face and neck. Then, wet the mask and gently massage to remove the cream. Rinse your face and neck with cold water. Opt for a high-powered massage cream as it’s a great way to dip your toe ( or fully give in ) to the skin-improving goodness of vitamins.
Step 6: Apply Your Serum And Moisturiser
Pro Tip: Combining a circulation-enhancing facial massage with your favourite serums will not only feel amazing, but it will also deliver oxygen-rich blood to your skin, which will then help to boost your lift, tone, and glow. Not to mention the deeper absorption will enable you to wield skin-improving magic more effectively.
Step 7: Add SPF
The final step is to apply SPF every single day- even when you spend most of your days indoors.
When your skin is looking a bit dull and could use a refreshing upgrade from your regular skincare routine, break out the best facial kit for an easy pick-me-up.
