4)Steaming: Steaming is essential as it opens the pores and increases circulation on the skin's surface.Pour hot steamy water in a large bowl and bring it to the place you are going to do the facial. Lean your face over the bowl about a foot away and cover your head and the bowl to preserve the steam. If you feel a burning sensation then stop for few seconds and repeat it. Keep the steam going for about 10 minutes.

6)Face masks: envelop your skin with a face mask that suits your skin to enhance the skin care treatment .To replenish the pores apply toner by misting or cotton pad.
7)Moisturiser:smooth on, a soft moisturizer according to your skin type. Apply the lotion all over the face and neck avoiding the area around the eyes. Apply an eye cream all around the eyes. This final stage will help in protecting your skin until your next facial..
