Being the most exposed part of the body, but also one of the most fragile, facial skin requires appropriate care. In the face of internal aggression (poor nutrition, stress, lack of sleep ...) and external (pollution, sun, cold, regular use of makeup ...), the facial skin can be damaged.

Cleaning :
Before starting a facial treatment, it is important to make sure that the skin is clean. To wash your face, mix 2 tablespoons of milk and a little rose water. Apply the mixture on your face using a cotton ball and let it dry, before rinsing with water.
The exfoliation:
Exfoliation is a crucial step in all care, because it allows the skin to get rid of impurities, dirt, dead cells and excess sebum, which build up and cause imperfections.
For this, mix one tablespoon of coconut oil and two tablespoons of sugar. Apply the scrub on your face by making circular motions. Massage for 2 to 3 minutes, then rinse.
Steam baths:
Effective to clear the airways, steam baths are also excellent for the skin. Indeed, the heat and moisture that are diffused by this technique help to dilate the pores of the skin, which allows them to evacuate the impurities more easily.
In addition, steam baths cause perspiration of the skin. In this way, it gets rid of toxins, excess sebum as well as impurities and makeup residues.
Fill a large bowl of hot water and add a few drops of an essential oil of your choice. Cover your head with a towel and lean your face on the bowl. Do not get too close to the water and close your eyes. Stay like that for 10 minutes.
If you are looking for something more convenient and easier, you can always soak the towel in the bowl, wring it and apply it on your face. In addition to having excellent effects on the skin, it also allows to relax.
The mask :
Now that your skin is all clean and your pores have been unclogged, place to the mask! Mix one tablespoon of honey with a teaspoon of lemon juice and apply to your face. Allow the mask to work for 20 minutes, then rinse with water.
Lemon is a boon for the skin. Antiseptic and antibacterial, it cleans and purifies, prevents skin aging and helps to tighten pores.
Honey is rich in nutrients and antioxidants. In addition to nourishing and moisturizing the skin, it also has emollient and healing properties.
Do not forget to apply a natural moisturizer after this mask.
