But if you aren\u2019t necessarily on the hunt for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/m\/search?utm_source=wordpress&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=search&amp;utm_content=estheticians_that_specialize\">estheticians that specialize<\/a> in skin treatments, how do you create the full spa experience in your own home? Here are a few helpful tips to really help you set the mood, even if you\u2019ve never been to a spa!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Claim a room<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t have to give yourself an at-home spa day in the bathroom! In fact, don\u2019t. Try branching out to the living room or your bedroom. Choose a spot where you\u2019ll be comfortable and relaxed, and politely let everyone else in the house know that it is your sanctuary for the next several hours and you are not to be disturbed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dress for success<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grab your most comfortable plush robe, plenty of towels, lots of pillows, some slippers, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/skin-tools\/?utm_source=wordpress&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=skin_tools&amp;utm_content=skin_care_tools\">skin care tools<\/a>, and maybe even your favorite scrunchie or headband; it\u2019s time to get comfy! Every good at-home spa day starts with getting comfortable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you prefer to wear your favorite pair of sweatpants instead of a robe, go for it! If you\u2019re most comfortable in leggings and an oversized T-shirt, you do you! The point is, spas are places of luxurious comfort, and you need to give yourself full permission to get as comfortable as you possibly can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Create some ambiance&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve opted out of searching for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/where-to-get-a-facial\/?utm_source=wordpress&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=where_get_facial&amp;utm_content=where_to_get_a_facial\">where to get a facial<\/a> and are keeping your spa day at home, you\u2019ll want to make sure to set the tone for your day of relaxation. Here are some things that help with ambiance:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Candles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Music<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Beverages<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pillows<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Snacks&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, when it comes to creating the perfect atmosphere, no detail is too small. Throw in some extra pampering with a quick <a href=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/gua-sha-vs-jade-roller\/?utm_source=wordpress&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=gua_sha&amp;utm_content=gua_sha_massage\">gua sha massage<\/a> or draw a bath. You are treating yourself to an at-home spa day, and no one knows how you like to be pampered quite like you do. Give yourself permission to get honest about what you really want.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe instead of classical spa music, you want to throw on the best of Bieber. And instead of cucumber water, you want to sip a ros\u00e9 spritzer and crush a Toblerone bar. Whatever you feel like doing, do it. Your spa, your rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" src=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/pexels-ron-lach-8142195-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"Woman washes her face to prepare for an at-home facial.\" class=\"wp-image-9661\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/pexels-ron-lach-8142195-scaled-1.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/pexels-ron-lach-8142195-scaled-1-856x571.jpg 856w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/pexels-ron-lach-8142195-scaled-1-1140x760.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/pexels-ron-lach-8142195-scaled-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/pexels-ron-lach-8142195-scaled-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/pexels-ron-lach-8142195-scaled-1-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/pexels-ron-lach-8142195-scaled-1-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/pexels-ron-lach-8142195-scaled-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/pexels-ron-lach-8142195-scaled-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-cleanse-like-a-pro\"><strong>2. Cleanse like a pro<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve set up camp and are fully comfortable, it\u2019s time to get down to business. The first order of business for any good at-home facial is deep cleansing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/beauty-skin-care\/facial-steps-at-home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Healthline advises<\/a> that there is a big difference between cleansing for a facial and the typical daily cleanse you are probably used to as part of your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/how-to-nail-at-home-skincare\/?utm_source=wordpress&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=skincare_at_home&amp;utm_content=at_home_skin_care_routine\">at-home skin care routine<\/a>. For one, cleansing before a facial at home is a multi-tiered process requiring multiple cleansers. Additionally, cleansing before a facial should be done gently and intentionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is the step-by-step cleansing process to gently and completely cleanse your face before continuing with the rest of the facial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Gently remove all makeup using a standard makeup remover.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wet your face with lukewarm water.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Massage a skin-friendly (read: sulfate-free) cleanser on your face in a circular motion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Take a microfiber washcloth and gently remove the cleanser, then rinse again.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pat your face dry.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>When cleansing your face before a facial at home, it\u2019s vital to use the right facial cleanser. Products without any additives are typically best. Whatever brand you use, make sure to begin with an oil-based cleanser to lift out any remaining makeup or dirt that might be clinging to the skin, and then transition to a sulfate-free water-based cleanser for a deeper clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cleaning your face sets the base for an invigorating facial experience and allows your skin to truly take in all the hydrating, moisturizing, and toning you\u2019re about to embark on.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1560\" height=\"1549\" src=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/cleanse-like-a-pro.webp\" alt=\"Image recounts steps for cleansing before applying an at-home facial.\" class=\"wp-image-14363\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/cleanse-like-a-pro.webp 1560w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/cleanse-like-a-pro-856x850.webp 856w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/cleanse-like-a-pro-1140x1132.webp 1140w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/cleanse-like-a-pro-768x763.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/cleanse-like-a-pro-1536x1525.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/cleanse-like-a-pro-96x96.webp 96w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/cleanse-like-a-pro-600x596.webp 600w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/cleanse-like-a-pro-100x100.webp 100w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/cleanse-like-a-pro-300x298.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/cleanse-like-a-pro-1024x1017.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/cleanse-like-a-pro-150x150.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1560px) 100vw, 1560px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-exfoliate-and-refresh\"><strong>3. Exfoliate and refresh<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After your skin is clean, it\u2019s time to exfoliate by gently scrubbing your face. At this point, you may be wondering, \u201cDidn\u2019t I just do that?\u201d The short answer is no \u2014 cleansing and exfoliating are very different.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cleansing using a face wash cleans the surface of the skin, whereas exfoliating strips away any dead skin cells that may be hanging around.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve ever wondered <a href=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/are-facials-good-for-your-skin\/?utm_source=wordpress&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=facials_good_skin&amp;utm_content=if_facials_are_good_for_your_skin\">if facials are good for your skin<\/a>, the answer is absolutely. But you need to exfoliate first for them to be most effective. Exfoliation just means getting rid of old skin cells so that the new skin cells can better absorb your facial treatment. That\u2019s why you don\u2019t scrub hard while you\u2019re cleaning \u2014 the exfoliation process is a more effective method of bringing new skin cells to the surface of the derma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some easy at-home ways to exfoliate:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use an exfoliating tool like a brush or wand.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use a microdermabrasion scrub or other textured exfoliating scrub.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/aha-vs-bha\/?utm_source=wordpress&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=aha_bha_guide&amp;utm_content=aha_or_bha\">AHA or BHA<\/a> chemical exfoliant.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Exfoliating doesn\u2019t need to be intense to be effective. Generally, it\u2019s the exfoliator that does all the work for you. Skin cells are not as stubborn as you may think, so you can gently scrub and your exfoliant will help shed any dead skin cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-choose-a-mask\"><strong>4. Choose a mask<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are four basic kinds of at-home face masks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th><strong>Types of At-Home Face Masks<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Gel<\/strong><\/td><td>Best for eliminating redness due to their cooling properties<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Cream<\/strong><\/td><td>Best for moisturizing dry skin<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Clay<\/strong><\/td><td>Best for unclogging pores and pulling out oils<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Sheet<\/strong><\/td><td>Best for hydrating, tightening, and brightening dull skin<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from giving yourself a little <a href=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/lymphatic-facial-massage\/?utm_source=wordpress&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=lymphatic_facial&amp;utm_content=facial_massage\">facial massage<\/a>, this is the part where you get to sit back and relax. You can\u2019t really do much while the mask is on, so it\u2019s the perfect excuse to close your eyes and do nothing. Enjoy the \u201cme\u201d time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-time-to-moisturize\"><strong>5. Time to moisturize<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After 15-20 minutes with the facial mask on, it\u2019s time to gently remove and rinse. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allure.com\/story\/how-to-give-yourself-facial\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Allure recommends<\/a> that you carefully remove all remnants of the mask with a damp towel without using any soap or facial cleanser. Once the mask is completely removed, blot your skin with a dry towel to remove any excess moisture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of moisture, grab your favorite moisturizer and apply it to your skin. Feel free to also add a little spot treatment for dark spots or acne at this part of the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have completely rubbed in the moisturizer, you\u2019re free to kick back and admire your beautiful glowing skin.

Aftercare <\/strong><strong>and follow-up<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting the most out of your at-home facial hinges on this vital step for continued skin success. Sure, an at-home spa treatment is great, but it may not be feasible every day. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.townandcountrymag.com\/style\/beauty-products\/a32131002\/at-home-facial-steps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Town and Country reminds<\/a> readers that you\u2019re going to need a regular routine to help keep your skin glowing and your pores perfect. Lucky for you, we have a simple routine right here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Cleanse.<\/strong> Cleansing your skin daily will keep it clean and fresh. You may have bought a cleanser, especially for your at-home facial, but you can actually use the same one on a daily basis.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tone.<\/strong> This daily skin care step is a great way to keep your skin taut and bright. Toners that have natural ingredients are best for your skin, so try to use something like hyaluronic acid and avoid anything with alcohol in it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Moisturize.<\/strong> This is perhaps the most important part of any daily skin care routine. Any skin type craves hydration, and your moisturizer isnecessary to keep your skin happy and healthy. To enhance your skin\u2019s hydration, consider incorporating a vitamin C or hyaluronic acid serum after you tone your face and before you apply your moisturizer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The first three steps of your daily skin care routine should be the same for morning and night. In the morning, finish your routine with a little sunscreen to protect your skin during the day. At night, finish with a vitamin-rich serum to lock in the hydration of your moisturizing cream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-at-home-facial-faqs\"><strong>At-home facial FAQs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1671139492828\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>How can I do a facial at home by myself?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">To do a facial at home, you should follow these basic steps:<br\/><br\/>1.
