Here are five easy to-do tips to help you have smooth glowing skin without breaking the bank.


1. Facial Steam:
A facial steam releases stale oils, opens up your pores and eliminates impurities. Simply fill a small bowl with hot (not boiling) water. If you have fresh herbs, such as lavender, chamomile, peppermint (or you can sprinkle a few drops of essential oils) wash and chop them up and add to the bowl. Lean over your bowl with your face in the steam. Drape a towel over your head and the bowl and stay under the towel for about 10-20 minutes. You can always top-up the water if it cools down. When you have finished steaming, wipe your face with a damp cloth.


2. Rest and Rejuvenate Tired Eyes
Lie on your back and place a slice of cucumber over your closed eyes. Rest for about 10 minutes then finish off by splashing cool over your face/eyes.


3. Drink Water/Herbal Tea
Throughout your day, sip 6-8 glasses of warm water with a slice of lemon in or substitute herbal teas for coffee/tea, such as, peppermint, nettle, fennel are excellent aids to detox.


4. Make a Nourishing Face Mask
Mash and mix together 1 tablespoon ripe avocado, 1 teaspoon honey and 3 drops of cider vinegar and sesame oil into a spreading paste. Apply mixture to your face; take care to avoid your eyes. Rest for 10-20 minutes. Rinse off with warm water.


5. Warm Flannel Over Your Face
This is one of my favourite wind-down and glow activities. Fill a small bowl with warm water. Sprinkle a few herbs, e.g., mint, lavender, or a few slices of lemon or couple drops of relaxing essential oils into the bowl. Place a clean flannel into the water, swish it around and then wring it out, leaving it slightly damp. Place the warm flannel over your face. Rest and relax for 5 - 10 minutes.


Conclusion
As you can see, there are many ways you can save money and still have a glowing natural looking complexion. Make time on a regular basis to put into place a couple of the above suggestions to improve and support your skin on your face. You can try facial steam, facemask, and eye smoother, drink more herbal teas and or water and rest at the end of the day with a warm flannel over your eyes.
