I love giving myself a facial once or twice a week, they are so rewarding, you put on the cream and let it dry and wash it away and your skin feels so good afterward... my favorite right now is an apricot moisturizing facial... it smells good and smooths away the dead dry skin and leaves my skin feeling good... do you give yourself facials, what kind do you like or use, how often do you do them? I have seen these mud masks with sea minerals and I am sooooo tempted!!!! LOL

Once in a blue moon. These days I barely have time for much. I have a five year old daughter and a 3 month old son. When I do, it is just a mud mask I get from Walgreens.

I am a beauty school dropout and i used to manage a day spa. i don't give myself facials as often as i used to but when i did it was a green mask to deep cleanse and occasionally a hot mud mask. i need to be better about doing this as i have noticed some unfortunate changes in my skin. i am aging- horrors!!! and my skin is getting drier. i use eye moisturizer faithfully but i could use a moisturizing mask. it is so relaxing to give yourself a facial...maybe i need to get off the computer and take care of myself,lol!

I have done this from time to time and they can be quite calming and relaxing for sure. I love how it just feels to let it sit there, especially if it is a calming massaging type one. I then will sit there in a chair with my eyes closed sometimes listening to calm relaxing music as well.

I used to when I was in my 20's. I would buy these facial creams that when you put it on your face it would dry and your face would feel tight. Then after a certain amount of time you peel it off and wa la, your face is nice and smooth. I used to put on the cucumber masks. They felt so good on my face. I am in my 40's and have not done them in years. I should probably start doing them again.

Yes I do give myself facial. It's a clay mask that is good for my oily skin. The mask contains coral powder which is said to draw out the blackheads. It also has a tightening effect and slightly drying, so I have to apply moisturizer after washing the mask away. I feel my face cleaner and smoother after the mask so it's my favourite.

Giving myself facial, i think costs a lot of money. And i dont have any budget for that. But i do care for my face. I just wash my face thrice a day. At night befor i sleep, I apply lemon on my face. I squezze a little amount and put on the juice on my face. I let it stand for 5 minutes and then i wash it up. So far, i dont have any pimples or freeckles on my face.

facial treatment - it is quite comfortable to have the facial treatment
I think I am just lazy to have a facial treatment for myself at home. I prefer to go out to have a facial treatment. So I will go to the facial salon to have the treatment once a week. Actually I was just back and now my skin is very smooth:) In fact I regard the facial treatment as a way to relax. I love China

I usually give myself facial masks 3-4 times a week, just cleansing and moisturizing masks. It does feel great after the facial masks especially the wet moisturizing masks, feel so soft and moisturized, I like this one the most.

Hello there bookreadermom, i do give myself a home facial spa treatment but these past month since i started here on Mylot, i really do skip on that part now too busy Mylotting. Anyway i do like to put facial masks and home micro dermabrasion thing like Ponds, but i do it when i go take a bath, but not religiously. Sometimes when i do have the urge to do have a mask, i will do it or probably ask my hubby to put it on me. But now, oh no, i am too lazy to do it and i know my face needs it because i get to face the computer most of the time and i would like to help my skin also so putting mask is beneficial. I like those sea minerals too. For now all my stock is still half and some are still full.

I am lazy too...but I put on my mask and then start mylotting....LOL, two things at once... since I have to wait for it to dry, I get about 2-3 posts done before I have to go and wash my face...this way it gets done twice a week. --or sometimes just once a week...but I do try to fit it in. thanks for the response!!

I use a face mask every other day because it helps keep my acne away. I use LUSH's Cosmetic Warrior which honestly doesn't smell the best--and I'll probably be changing over to Love Lettuce when my pot of Cosmetic Warrior is used up--but it does the job.

I and my roommates used to talk about the facial thing sharing experience. We all agree facial is a good way to keep you beaty.
