My Weekly Skin Prepping Routine | All- Natural Home Facial Procedure |

I've been blessed with a magical skin that is acne-free, blemish-free and absolutely flawless. Dark circles and hyper pigmentation was never a struggle for me. My only concern was my oily t-zone but I successfully got it under control. My another concern are the annoying tiny blackheads on my nose that look close to sprinkled black pepper, which is again the result of oil secreting skin but I have a perfect solution for it too. So let me show you how you can achieve glowing and immaculate glass skin that is free of every flaw. 

STEP 1: Facial oil massage
I prefer using sweet almond oil for face massage as it reduces the puffiness of the face, improves complexion, and improves blood circulation in the facial skin. Alternatively, you can use any oil like olive or coconut anything that's easy on your skin. You can find plenty of videos on the internet that can show you the correct way to massage your face and for the oils to get absorbed as well as to shape your facial muscles. Take a teaspoon full in your palm, rub the palms together and massage on your face gently for about 10-15 mins. IF YOU ALREADY HAVE OILY SKIN THEN YOU CAN AVOID THIS STEP.

STEP 2: Shaving
Out of all the facial hair removal method the best suited method for me is shaving using facial razors from tinkle. I've written in detail about all the products and their pros and cons as well so check it out on My Experience With Hair Removal Methods + The Best Suited Method and carefully choose your method of hair removal. Make sure which ever method you prefer SHOULD NOT BE TOO EXTREME for your skin (such as waxing) otherwise you CANNOT proceed with the further steps since the skin becomes too sensitive and has to be left untouched after moisturizing.
The oil massage before shaving is helpful in avoiding razor bumps. 
 
STEP 3: Steam
Take a large bowl and fill it with hot boiling water. Drop a few drops of your favorite essential oil and keep your face closer to the bowl. its best to put a clean towel over your head to cover the surrounding space and not let the steam escape. steaming helps tiny facial pores to open up so that the exfoliator can enter through the pores and do its magic. after about 5 to 10 mins wipe your face with a towel and see how your face has swollen.
STEP 4: Exfoliate
Now is the time to exfoliate your skin. The basic face mask I prepare usually that best suits my skin is gram flour/rice flour + turmeric powder + lemon extract/milk/yogurt. Gram flour/rice flour are some of the best exfoliators, that help remove dead skin and reduce oil secretion. Turmeric helps remove the dark pigmentation, acne scars and blemishes. Lemon yogurt and milk help in hydrating the skin. If I see a single acne pop up, I wait for it to dry off and then use this exfoliator daily and BAM! within a week's time my acne scar is gone.
If you prefer  a combination of other exfoliating agents then well and good but keep in mind that the ingredients must be 100% natural. Apply a layer of your prepared face mask and leave it for about 10-15 mins.
STEP 5: Dark circles treatment 
if you notice even the slightest bit of darkness around your eyes then I recommend you follow this step. Mix equal amounts of castor oil and almond oil and store it in a tiny roll-on bottle. Apply this combination of oils around the eyes and leave it along with the face mask. 
STEP 6: Cleanse
Now wash your face with cold or lukewarm water by gently scrubbing in circular motion/ once done. Take a small amount of your well-suited facewash/cleanser. I prefer using a deep-action, refreshing gel cleanser from Clean & Clear. I've noticed that my skin started to secrete considerably a lot less oil since I started using this product as it deep cleanses your pores and leaves your skin cool and refreshing. 

STEP 7: Blackheads treatment
At this point, I treat my blackheads since the skin is now soft and maximum dirt has been cleansed. Read my full blog on My Mind-Blowing Blackhead Treatment At Home. You can skip the rest of the steps and just follow STEP 3 & 4. However, if you are not suffering from blackheads then you can completely eliminate this step.

STEP 8: Tone
Choose the best-suited toner for your skin. whether it is dry, oily or combination skin the key is to use an alcohol-free toner. I prefer alcohol free toner from Neutrogena but if you are unable to choose one then just go for organic rose water in a mist bottle and spray it all over your face
STEP 9: Moisturize
The final step is to moisturize. Remember to use toner before moisturizer since in skincare the lighter ones go prior to heavier products and due to the toner's water-like consistency it goes before the moisturizer. Again for oil-prone skin use a water-based moisturizer, I prefer Nivea for my face and hand since it has 0% alcohol.
