How to Use the Gold Facial Kit at Home: Method
1. Cleansing:
First of all take the Gold cleanser and massage all over the face and after 60 seconds wipe it off with a clean towel or a damp cotton pad. The gold cleaner help to detoxify the skin from the epidermal layers by eliminating the impurities. It wipes off the dust that is there on the uppermost surface of the skin.
2. Steaming:
Then the second step would be to steam the skin which loosens the dead skin cells and blackheads on the face. Steaming is a process that you have to do on your own as it makes the skin pores get declogged and also softens the blackheads and whiteheads. Take a bowl of hot water and bend over that with a towel over your head to prevent the steam from escaping. Now, steam your face for 5-7 minutes.
3. Scrubbing:
After the steaming. Take some gold facial scrub and apply all over the facial skin and neck. Gently scrub and exfoliate the face with gentle movements. Concentrate and rub little harder on the nose, cheeks where there are blocked pores. This will open your blocked pores. Wash the face with clean water after scrubbing for 2-3 minutes.
4. Massaging:
Massaging tightens and tones the facial skin and muscles. It also improves the blood circulation which gives the glow. Now take your gold facial massage cream and then gently massage your face with that. Use some water if the cream gets thick. Keep massaging for at least 10-25 minutes. This is the most important step in the gold facial as the gold particles will enhance the collagen production and skin gets the glow.
5. Gold Facial Mask or Pack:
After the massaging wipe off the extra cream if there is on your face. then apply the gold face pack. Let it dry and after that rinse the face with plain water. Use a toner to tone your face. If you don’t have toner then use cucumber juice with the help of a cotton ball and apply a light moisturizer.
A lot of gold facial kits in the market come with the gold serum, gel or moisturiser that needs to be used after the toner as we mentioned else any regular serum or moisturiser will work. If there is a gold bleach in the kit as well, then use the bleach first, wash the face then do this gold facial at the home.
