The majority of us mere mortals can't compare our faces to the poreless picture perfect models in magazines or even social media - not without the right Instagram filter anyway. To keep your skin in tip top condition, look like you've just had a spa day with our tips on how to fake a facial...
- Cleanse, tone and moisturise on a daily basis but avoid using industrial strength scrubs too often. Limit use of potentially harsh, drying scrubs to just once or twice a week to avoid leaving the home red faced (literally). Elemis' Skin Buff and Green People's Age Defy Soft Buff Skin Exfoliator clears away pack rejuvenating properties without stripping the skin's natural oils.
- Flush out gunk from your pores every once and awhile by steaming your face with a bowl of warm water or create a homemade mask using ingredients such as banana, honey, avocado or even aloe vera and leave on for 15 minutes. If you're short on time, resort to our edit below to search for the perfect mask for your skin type!
- Moisturise! After treating your skin to a home facial, give your face the hydration it needs via a spritz of Clinique's Moisture Surge Spray, patting on Caudalie Divine Oil or Decleor Hydra Floral Multi-Protection Rich Cream.
