The Perfect At Home Facial

It's so simple to do DIY facial at home. These steps for the perfect at home facial will leave your skin glowing! A stay at home treatment is the perfect treat for you and your skin.

Light a can dle or turn on your diffuser with some calming lavender oil and treat yourself. It would be perfect to start this process with an epsom salt bath, but if time doesn't allow that jump right into this process of cleansing, masking, massaging and moisturizing your skin.

Cleanse

It's always important to start with a clean slate for the perfect at home facial.

I like a double cleansing process if I'm wearing makeup. I start with e.l.f. SKIN Holy Hydration Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm. It is perfect to remove makeup and leaves your skin soft.

Then I use the CeraVe Hydrating Oil Face Cleanser. It leaves my skin clean without stripping moisture from my face. I like to use these cotton clothes or this silicone face massager with this cleanser.

Mask

To get that perfect glow you need to purify your complexion. The Pacifica Kale Charcoal Ultimate Detox Mask does a great job of purifying and balancing your skin.

In ten minutes it will absorb excess oil and draw out impurities. It leaves your skin with a smooth and polished complexion.

This is my favorite weekly skincare treat!

Massage

Don't skip a facial massage. It increases blood flow and helps get rid of puffiness.

Begin by rubbing Well People Bio Booster Oil Drops all over your face and neck.

Then using your fingers or a jade roller start at your chin and work up to your forehead rolling from your nose out toward your hairline. Repeat 5 times on each side of your face.

Then roll down the edge of your skin and hairline to your neck and finally to the top of your collarbone on both sides of your face.

Moisturize

End the perfect at home facial with a layer of moisturizer to leave your skin feeling luxurious and soft.

For dry skin I love BYOMA Moisturizing Rich Cream. It leaves your skin rehydrated and refreshed.

For combination skin I'm a fan of e.l.f. Holy Hydration Face Cream Fragrance Free. It leaves you with the perfect light layer of moisture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do gluten free ginger cookies take longer to bake?

Yes, gluten free ginger cookies do tend to take longer to bake than cookies made with a gluten flour. The outside of the cookie will be browned, but they may not be cooked through in the center.

If you are having this issue you can lower the oven temperature and bake the cookies a bit longer. I also only bake one baking sheet at a time of gluten free cookies. They need to be evenly heated to cook correctly.

Why are my gluten free cookies gritty?

The gluten free flour you use is really important for the texture of your cookies. If you use a coarse ground gluten free flour your cookies will have a gritty texture. It's important that you choose a flour that is specifically for baking.

I like Namaste Gluten Free Flour, Bob's Redmill 1-to-1 Baking Flour and King Arthur Measure for Measure Gluten Free Flour. My baked goods have turned out well using any of these flours.

Ingredients

Unsalted Butter
Powdered Sugar
Vanilla Extract
Gluten Free Flour
Baking Powder
Sea Salt
Dried Cranberries
Orange Zest
Demerara Sugar

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line three baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.

Beat the room temperature butter in the stand mixer for 2-3 minutes until it's creamy. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla. Beat until smooth.

In a bowl whisk together the gluten free flour, baking powder and sea salt. Add this to the butter mixture. Blend together until just combined. Add the dried cranberries and orange zest and mix to combine them into the dough.

Divide the dough into half. Roll each half into a log in parchment paper that's about 2 inches wide by 2 inches tall. Chill for at least 2 hours.

Place the demerara sugar on a plate or shallow dish. Roll each cookie log in the demerara sugar and gently press the sugar into the sides. Cut the log into ¼ inch thick rounds using a very sharp knife.

Place cookie rounds on a lined baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes. The edges will be slightly browned around the edges when they are done.
