Every few weeks when my skin starts to feel super oily from the weather conditions, I perform this facial regime using mostly fresh products. In fact, I am doing it now while blogging. I love going to the spa as much as the next girl, but getting a facial at home is significantly kinder to your wallet.
Step 1: Fresh Soy Face Cleanser $38. First I wash my face with the soy cleanser. It doesn't have a strong fragrance, is extremely gentle and doesn't dry out your face. It's made from soybean extracts which help improve the texture of your skin. The cleanser is like a fancier Cetaphil face wash. Also, since I started using this face wash, my face doesn't really break out anymore - hallelujah!
Step 2: Fresh Sugar Face Polish $55. Next, I use the sugar face polish to gently scrub off dead skin cells and around my nose, where blackheads are more prone to crop up (gross!). It's not abrasive like most scrubs I've tried and will not cause redness or sting. It has brown sugar crystals and crushed wild strawberries, which are rich in vitamin C, but more importantly, makes the scrub smell yummy. I leave this on for about ten minutes and then rinse off.
Step 3: Fresh Black Tea Instant Perfecting Mask $85. This hydrating mask leaves my skin feeling tingly and renewed. I leave this on my face for about 15 minutes, then rinse it off. This mask is an Allure Magazine Editors Choice award winner, and after one use, it's easy to see why. This mask makes my face feel smooth and moisturized.
Recessionista tip: This mask is almost as expensive as getting a facial at the spa! To save money, you can go to Sephora and ask for a sample of the mask. Depending on the sales associate, they'll either put it in a small or large sample jar for you, free of charge. Every time I stop by a Sephora, I ask for a sample of the mask. I've saved myself $85 and have been able to use the samples for the past few months.
Step 4: shu uemura Depsea Water Facial Mist in Chamomile $24. As the finishing touch, I spray my face 1-2 times with this mist. The chamomile is very soothing and the mist contains 60 minerals :D. It also keeps my skin moisturized. The facial mist comes in 9 different fragrances - my other favorites are rose and lavender.
Grand total spent: $202, or using my sephora tip, $117. That's less than my last spa visit! Plus the size of fresh products are very generous and will last you from half a year to a year, depending on how often you use the products. I know this blog is new, so I'm not sure that anyone reads it but please do share any skin care regimes you swear by.
