When you feel that you are in need of a facial, there is a choice as to where you will go to receive it. A spa experience will give you the most highly trained estheticians who will cleanse your skin, exfoliate it and send you home with the supplies needed to continue the regime at home. You also have the option at a spa facility to have add on services such as dermobrasion, chemical peels, massage and hydrating mask. No matter what kind of skin you have, a spa will be able to effectively give you the facial that your skin needs to remain supple and young looking.

All you need is an egg, which most of us have in the refrigerator. Eggs are organic and have no known side effects, and they are cost effective. They work especially well with dry and sensitive skin. Of course if you have an egg or poultry allergy this is NOT the facial for you. Egg whites will dry out your skin, so you can using a tissue, make pore strips to remove those insidious blackheads. You can liberally “paint ” beaten egg yolks on your skin, and then wash them off with soap and water, making a egg yolk facial. Surprisingly the effects of these two methods are similar to the facials you would get in a spa environment. You will end up with clearer skin, a dewy complexion and the satisfaction you were able to do it yourself.
