Depending on your skin type and reasons for a facial, you can really make one at home using simple products:





For dry skin, try a avocado mask using the mashed up pulp of a ripe avocado. Leave it on your face for 10 minutes, then rinse with hot water. Also, try beating one egg white, snf leave it on for 15 minutes, if you have dry skin.





For oily and combination skin, try a banana mask with honey and lemon or orange juice. This removes dry, flaky skin from the face, while calming the skin. Also, blending fresh mint and cilantro in a food processor, with water to form a paste, can make a great mask for anti-inflammatory benefits.





For sensitive skin, I would suggest going to the store and buying a exfoliator or product specifically designed for sensitive skin. It's also best, before applying a facial, to steam treat your skin using peppermint oils or just taking a very warm shower beforehand.





Other things good to put on your face include oatmeal (not very hot, but warm will do), and milk. Hope this helps!
