 Regular facials can do wonders for your skin but having one every week can be extremely costly!

 

Lucy originally designed all of her products to be used in her highly sought after facials.

 

  They are all packed with the finest ingredients to give your skin a perfectly

 

balanced treatment with fabulous results.

 

 

 

Lucy has devised a gorgeous facial for you to do at home to keep

 

your skin radiant and in fabulous condition throughout the year.

"Welcome to my Home Facial! It is a simple but extremely effective routine that will

 

help you to get the very best out of your products as well as your skin.

 

If you have a favourite product from another range that you love to use please

 

feel free to use it within the Home Facial.  It is also worth pointing out that you

 

can do as much or as little of the Home Facial as you like if you are pushed for time.

 

Even taking an extra minute or two to massage your skin with The Cleansing Balm

 

and The Facial Serum will make a difference.  I would also strongly recommend

 

using a muslin cloth or cotton flannel to remove your cleanser - whichever

 

brand you use.

 

 

I hope you enjoy it! 

 

With my best wishes, Lucy."

 

 

 

 

For the home facial you will need:

 

 

The Cleansing Balm

 

The Rose Toner

 

The Facial Serum

 

Full fat natural Greek Yoghurt - organic if possible!

 

Two organic muslin cloths or two soft cotton flannels

 

Headband

 

Cotton wool pads

 

 

For very dry skin The Super Balm would be a fabulous addition but it isn't essential.

 

 

 

 

Step One - Cleanse

 

 

Tie your hair up and place a headband over your head to keep it dry and clean.

 

Place a muslin cloth or soft cotton flannel in some hand hot water.

 

 

Scoop out some Cleansing Balm - about the size of a 20p should be perfect.

 

Massage The Cleansing Balm into the skin in upwards and outwards movements.

 

Pay particular attention to the nose, chin, forehead and cheeks.

 

Massage for around one minute.

 

Wring out your muslin cloth and use to remove all traces of The Cleansing Balm.

 

 

 

The Cleansing Balm will remove all make-up and impurities without stripping the skin.

 

It can also be used around the eyes to remove eye make-up. If you need to remove mascara or

 

other eye make-up it is best to do this before you start the main cleanse.

 

 

 

 

Step Two - Tone

 

 

 

 

Spritz The Rose Toner over your entire face (including the eyes - closed of course!)

 

Sweep a cotton wool pad over the skin to remove any excess.

 

 

The Rose Toner helps to cool and calm the skin leaving it feeling revived and thoroughly refreshed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step Three - Mask

 

 

 

 

There are three masks to choose from:

 

 

The Yoghurt Mask

 

The Cleansing Balm Mask

 

The Super Balm Mask

 

 

 

Please read the descriptions below to choose the one you would like to use.

 

If you have the time it is even more beneficial to do a Yoghurt Mask followed by

 

a Cleansing Balm or Super Balm mask!

This may seem a little strange to be using yoghurt on the skin! 

 

However it is one of the best ways to purify, brighten and soften the skin.

 

Yoghurt contains natural AHAs which help to remove dead skin cells. 

 

It also is a wonder product for reducing redness, cooling the skin and restoring the

 

skin's natural radiance. It may take a bit of getting used to but it's worth it trust me!!

 

I always use organic, natural Greek Yoghurt, it is thicker than normal natural yoghurt

 

so it is much easier to apply.

 

 

You will need about a dessertspoonful of yoghurt.

 

 

Apply the yoghurt to your face taking care to avoid the eye area.

 

I like to massage it in a little before leaving it to dry.

 

Leave the mask for around 10 minutes. It will start to dry out in patches and may feel

 

a little tight but this is normal. After 10 minutes (you can leave it until it is completely dry

 

if you prefer) rinse your face with hand-hot water.  Apply The Cleansing Balm over the skin

 

as in Step One, massage for around one minute and remove with a muslin cloth or

 

soft flannel soaked in hand-hot water.

 

 

For extra brightening properties add a teaspoonful of fresh organic lemon juice.

 

For extra softening properties add a teaspoonful of organic honey.

The Cleansing Balm is an oil based cleanser and contains some of the most soothing

 

and softening oils for the skin. It is suitable for all skin types even oily skin as it really

 

helps to balance out sebum production.

 

 

Apply a 10p sized scoop of The Cleansing Balm to clean, dry skin avoiding the eye area.

 

(it is perfect to use to remove eye make-up but is a little too rich to leave on the skin

 

around the eyes.)  Leave on the skin for around 5 - 10 minutes then remove with a

 

muslin cloth or soft cotton flannel soaked in hand-hot water.

The Super Balm is a super-rich skin softening balm packed with incredibly moisturising

 

and nourishing ingredients.  It is perfect to use as a mask for dry or very dry skin.

 

Apply a 20p sized scoop of The Super Balm to clean, dry skin avoiding the eye area.

 

Leave for around 5 - 10 minutes then remove with a muslin cloth or soft cotton flannel

 

soaked in hand-hot water.

 

 

 

 

Whichever mask you choose now repeat Step Two – Tone

 

 

 

 

Step Four - Hydrate & Moisturise

 

 

 

 

Apply around three to four pumps of The Facial Serum to the face and neck.

 

Massage in upwards and outwards movements for around one minute.

 

Leave The Facial Serum to absorb into the skin or if you are pushed for

 

time blot any excess with a soft tissue.

 

 

 

 

And that’s it!
