How to Rock an At-Home Facial Like An Facialist

Getting pampered with a professional skin treatment is the ultimate treat, but what can you do for the times in between to keep your skin radiant and healthy? Nurture your skin with a little facial of your own! Below is our beauty therapist's guide on how to give yourself a facial at home, just like the professionals do it.

1. CLEANSE

Squeeze a dime-sized amount of the MAX™ STEM CELL FACIAL CLEANSER onto damp fingertips and massage face gently for 1-3 minutes.  Remove with a warm washcloth.

The MAX line uses powerful polypeptide complexes and plant-derived stem cell technology in an attempt to turn back the clock and restore the health of your skin. The MAX™ STEM CELL FACIAL CLEANSER is a creamy, sulphate- and acid-free cleanser gentle enough for all skin types. Plant-derived stem cells from apple and edelweiss plants are a unique and revolutionary technology in the skincare industry. This helps your skin cells maintain their youthful characteristics.  There’s also a secret polypeptide complex, with each molecule selected for its potent anti-aging effects. While the cleanser gently flushes away dirt and impurities, peptides and stem cell extracts work hard to keep your skin looking healthy.

2. MASQUE AND GLOW

Apply a quarter-sized amount of VITAL C HYDRATING ENZYME MASQUE evenly to entire face with fingertips.  Massage gently for 3-5 minutes, leave on a total of 10 minutes. Remove thoroughly with a warm washcloth.

Physician formulated, the VITAL C HYDRATING ENZYME MASQUE is perfect for all skin types, including those with sensitive and irritated skin, dry and dehydrated skin, or oily and acne-prone skin. This gentle exfoliating mask helps slough away the buildup of dead skin cells while infusing the skin with beneficial ingredients. This can be especially helpful for those with redness as enzymes and extracts help soothe and reduce the visible appearance of redness. Papaya and pineapple enzyme are both gentle exfoliators which unstick dead skin cells. A combination of vitamins C and A help revitalize skin while hyaluronic acid provides hours of hydration – lasting well past application. Plus, masques are a great way to destress from a long day, and less stress means a healthier, more radiant skin.

3. NOURISH

Apply a dime-sized amount of VITAL C HYDRATING ANTI-AGING SERUM evenly to entire face with fingertips, using an upward-lifting motion, until it has been fully absorbed

Perfect for all skin types, VITAL C HYDRATING ANTI-AGING SERUM rejuvenates dull, tired skin while promoting a visibly smoother appearance, particularly for collagen-deprived skin. As you age, your collagen synthesis machinery naturally slows down—this is what causes visible signs of aging. Then there’s hyaluronic acid, the gold standard for hydration. Able to hold up to one-thousand times its weight in water, hyaluronic acid helps your skin retain the water it needs for a healthy glow.

4. EYE REPAIR

Apply VITAL C HYDRATING EYE RECOVERY GEL with ring finger to the area surrounding the upper and lower eye in a circular motion.  Avoid eyelids.

Eight hours of sleep will always be the goal, but sadly it’s not always the reality. Thankfully, there’s VITAL C HYDRATING EYE RECOVERY GEL for a quick and easy fix. The cooling gel formula begins acting on application, reducing the visible appearance of puffiness. Peptides, antioxidants, and collagen complexes work on long-term goals by helping to firm skin’s appearance. A special and proprietary Collagen Recovery Complex uses plant-derived ingredients to provide firming action to the skin. Each ingredient in the complex is specifically selected for known anti-wrinkle, rejuvenation and moisturization properties. A special mixture of peptides works hard to decrease the appearance of puffy bags under the eyes. Actiphytes help reduce any irritation that may also cause puffiness. Plus, it’s super easy to carry for on the go touch up applications or for any business trip.

5. HYDRATE AND FIRM

Apply a quarter-sized amount of THE MAX STEM CELL CRÈME to the entire face. Massage upwards with soothing strokes until the crème is absorbed.

Revolutionary and innovative, THE MAX STEM CELL CRÈME is a night crème with cutting-edge technology that can deliver many visible benefits to your skin. Plant-derived stem cell technology is the latest in ground-breaking technologies and helps supports natural skin defence mechanisms. Our crème uses stem cells from four different strains, including apples. This crème also harnesses peptide complexes to help reduce the visible signs of aging. Finally, the nutrition phase delivers a high concentration of extracts and antioxidants which provide your skin with the food it needs for a firmer, more youthful appearance.
