\"5-Step<\/a><\/p>\n

Changing seasons always do a number on our skin, and a facial can help restore balance and give you a glowing complexion, no matter what the season! Check out this 5-step at-home facial!<\/h3>\n

This infographic from Visual.ly<\/a> goes through the basic steps for doing a facial at home, and below the graphic we’ve got some more detailed suggestions – DIY tips and product recommendations – for each step.<\/p>\n

\"At-Home<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 1: Washing Your Face
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Skip the toxic ingredients that come with most conventional face soaps and opt for an organic facial cleanser, like this one from Acure Organics<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Exfoliation
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

To exfoliate, you just need a good facial scrub. Our sister site, Crafting a Green World, has a great roundup of DIY facial scrubs for all different skin types<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Step 3: Steaming
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

The steaming step is pretty straightforward. If you want to make this even more fancy, try adding a few drops of a soothing essential oil, like lavender or sage, to the water. Steaming is even better with a little aromatherapy boost!<\/p>\n

Step 4: Face Mask<\/strong><\/p>\n

Store-bought face masks can be pretty pricey. Instead of spending big bucks at the big box store, check out these face mask options made from grocery store finds<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Step 5: Moisturize<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just like face soaps, conventional moisturizers can be full of harmful chemicals. Instead, you can make your own face lotion<\/a> or choose an organic option, like Logona Organic Day Cream<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Do you have a favorite DIY recipe or organic product for any of these steps? Let’s swap tips in the comments!<\/strong><\/p>\n
