Whether you are going for facial at home or in the salon, this list of facial products used can make a difference to your skin.

We all love pampering ourselves, and when it comes to the skin - facial is one of the basic ways we do it. Facial at home or facial in the salon, with one treatment, we expect the skin to show the difference.

The role of a facial is the same - a treatment on the skin that shows an instant change with other benefits like healing it, protecting it and more.

Often women crib that their facial session is not bringing the change they really want or look forward to. At the salon, women spend a bomb or at home, they make prolonged preparation, yet facial does not show the desired results.

The products can be from good brands or you can go for natural products, depending on your skin type and choice.

So, check out this list of basic facial ingredients that should be applied during a facial session for positive results.

Pre-Facial Cleanser

Pre-Facial Cleanser

The first step of the facial begins with cleansing your skin. Cleansing is similar to washing the first layer or dirt and impurities of the skin. However, during a facial, a cosmetic or natural cleanser should be applied than mere water.

Benefits:

  • Regular cleansing makes one look younger.
  • Constant exposure to the sun and dust covers our face with a layer of dirt and cleansing can alone wipe that off.
  • Cleansing hydrates the skin, letting it hold on to its natural oil and moisture content.
Scrub

Scrub

At the second stage of facial comes scrubbing or exfoliation. The scrubber contains exfoliating beads along with a fluid that should be massaged on the skin and not just applied. Scrubbing can be done to your face and the rest of your body as well.

Benefits:

  • Removes dead skin cells, clogged pores, blackheads, whiteheads and minor skin breakouts.
  • In case you have acnes and blemishes on the skin, the scrub works on those areas as well.
  • While scrubbing in case you go harsh or long, then the skin might react negatively.
Facial Gel

Facial Gel

As the process of scrubbing is being little harsh to the skin, so the next step planned gives you a very calm feeling. Here, a facial gel must be applied in order to calm down the skin pores and cells. In case of a home facial, fresh aloe vera leaves are the best way to get the facial gel.

Benefits:

  • In case of any wounds or outbursts on the skin, the gel helps to calm it down.
  • The gel also works on tanning and cures sunburns if you have any.
  • In case your body has stretch marks, then facial gels work well on them.
Massage Cream

Massage Cream

All facials reserve a long time for a massage. Dry massage makes the skin flaky and has no good feeling. Hence, during a massage of your face, use a good cream that makes it easier to move the hands on your skin.

Benefits:

  • The use of cream during a massage makes it a relaxing process.
  • The massage cream hydrates and moisturizes the skin at the same time.
  • A good massage cream can be applied on all parts of the body.
Peel Mask

Peel Mask

Masking is an important step during a facial, as it penetrates well into the skin and extracts out stubborn dirt and pollutants that the cleanser and scrubber might not bring out. Peel masks can be prepared at home or different flavours of it are available in the market. Peel masks require a long wait time after application.

Benefits:

  • Peel mask is the last ingredient in the massage process that can extract impurities from your skin.
  • Peel masks come with exfoliation benefits also, though that does not allow you to skip the scrubbing step during a facial.
  • Peel masks also remove minor facial hair.
Toner

Toner

The last but one step of your facial is toning your skin. Toning cleans the last possible oil, dirt or debris of your skin. Toners come in different flavours. You have to be patient for a minute to let the toner set on your skin or face.

Benefits:

  • When you massage your skin with a toner, try to go for a circular motion, as it impacts the blood circulation.
  • In case you have pores on your skin that make it look dull, then constant use of a toner can shrink or reduce the size of the pores.
  • Toner refreshes your skin, irrespective of whether it is dry, oily or sensitive in nature.
Fairness/Moisturizing Cream

Fairness/Moisturizing Cream

In the facial process, the last step is a moisturizing cream that stays long on your face. In case you want skin lightening, then the cream you use at the end of the facial can be a fairness cream.

Benefits:
This last coat of cream allows your skin to remain happy for hours after the facial.
This cream is to hydrate and nourish the skin.
The cream type can be selected based on your skin type.
