Hectic and busy lives can take a huge toll on your health and well-being.Your skin can reveal a lot about the stress and exhaustion of daily life you go through. You may not have time to do a morning skincare routine every day or even head to a salon for a little TLC. However, over the weekend you can carve some "me time" and use it to give yourself a facial with natural ingredients. A little effort to make time for this will help give you clear and fresh skin in no time. Here is a step-by-step guide to giving yourself a facial at home.

The first step to a good facial is giving your face a good clean up. That means washing away dirt and other impurities. Don't forget to remove all your makeup too. This important step will help ensure the ingredient you use on your skin will be able to effectively provide it nourishment. To clean your face, use organic honey as it is super hydrating and contains antibacterial properties. Using honey will help make your skin feel soft and smooth.

The second step- exfoliate. You don't want to skip this step as it will help you get rid of all the dead skin cells that are clogging your pores. Exfoliating your skin also helps to make it look more radiant and healthy. Using natural ingredients on your skin is incredibly healing and soothing. To make an exfoliating blend, combine oatmeal, honey, and olive oil if you have normal skin. If you have dry skin, use a combo of honey, almonds and olive oil.

A home facial that includes steam can help you wind down and relax. It also helps to open up your pores to get rid of all the toxins. All you have to do is boil water and stand over it with a towel over your head. Steam your face for about five or 10 minutes. If you like, you can also add a bit of lavender or chamomile essential oil in the water.

Once you have completed the first four steps, it is now time to sit with a nourishing face mask on your face.The right ingredients will help you heal your skin from damage caused by pollution, harsh chemicals, and the sun's harmful rays. To make your own mask, combine honey and yoghurt if you have normal skin. If you have oily skin, blend fuller's earth with honey. For dry skin, mix mashed banana and honey. Leave the face pack on for about 30 minutes before you wash it will cold water.
