Best Face Forward

You can’t beat the way your skin feels after an expert facial. You also can’t top the sky-high prices most salons charge for the service, either. Solution? An easy (and way cheaper) at-home facial.  

Here’s what you’ll need (choose any brands – no fancy-pants labels required.):

• Gentle facial cleanser
• Gentle face scrub
• Face mask for your skin type (dry, oily, normal, combo)
• Face moisturizer

The plan:

1. Cleanse your face thoroughly.  
2. Exfoliate using a not-too-grainy scrub, moving your fingers in small circles all over your face.
3. Dip a clean washcloth into a bowl of hot water and then press it to your face. Hold for a few seconds then repeat two or three times. 
4. Apply a mask, according the package instructions.
5. Protect your skin by applying a moisturizer with SPF.

And that's it! Enjoy your glow (and your not-completely empty wallet).
