Organic Facial

How to Give Yourself an Organic Facial

Step 1 - Cleanse

Why - Cleansing removes the top layer of dead cells, oil, perspiration and pollution. If your skin is not cleansed properly it becomes dull and flaky and the oil glands block up with dirt and cellular waste, causing breakouts and congestion.
How - Gently press the face with a warm, soft cleansing cloth to open up the pores. Apply one or two pumps of cleanser to the palm of your hand and massage gently into the face and neck. Remove gently with water. If wearing make-up, a second cleanse is necessary.

Step 2 - Exfoliate

Why- A build up of dead skin cells causes a rough and dull appearance. Removing the top layers of dehydrated cells oxygenates the skin and speeds up the rate of cell growth, promoting youthful, glowing skin.
How - Squeeze a small amount of exfoliant onto fingertips and GENTLY massage onto damp skin using circular motions, paying particular attention to the T-zone area if necessary.

Step 3 - Mask

Why - Clay-based masks will actually draw toxins from within the skin. Clay firms, tones and refines the skin, promoting a smooth, supple and clear complexion. Clay remineralises and rebalances the skin, assisting with tissue regeneration. Masks must be followed by a Skin Conditioner and Moisturiser to prevent dehydration.
How - Using a ceramic or glass bowl, make a smooth paste by mixing 1 tsp of purified water with 1 heaping tsp of mask powder. Stir to form a smooth paste and apply a generous amount of mask onto the face and neck using the fan/ artistic brush. Lie down with your feet up and relax for 10-15 minutes, until mask is almost dry. Rinse off with plenty of tepid water.

Step 4- Skin Brightener

Why - The extremely mild alpha-hydroxy acids from natural fermentation in the Probiotic Skin Brightener are known to restore and protect the skin’s acid mantle, lighten and brighten the complexion, improve photodamaged skin, exfoliate dead skin cells for a smoother, less-wrinkled appearance, help break down impurities, while bringing moisture, clarity and vitality to the skin.
How - Apply 3 pumps of the skin brightener to a cotton pad and wipe gently over the face and neck. Soak two cotton buds together so you can concentrate on darker areas, sunspots and freckles.

Step 5 - Skin Conditioner

Why - Skin Conditioning is a vital step in the Miessence skincare regime! Conditioning has a twofold purpose: firstly, to feed the skin with nutrients with water-soluble botanicals, organic herbs, vitamins and essential oils, and secondly, to provide a hydration base for the moisturiser to lock in.
How - On clean moist skin, massage 2 to 3 pumps of conditioner onto fingertips and gently massage onto face and neck. Leave for a few seconds to absorb into the skin before moisturising.

Step 6 - Treatment Gels

Why - Treatments are intense concentrations of botanical extracts for special skin needs. Soothing Couperose Gel is a strengthening treatment for sensitive skin with ultra-soothing organic plant extracts for broken capillaries and facial redness. Purifying Blemish Gel is a potent and powerful blend of healing and calming organic herbs and flowers for blemishes, pimples and irritations.
