Facial

I just wash my face with water and it's fine. I know moisturisers only have a short-term plumping effect and exfoliation isn't recommended for mature skin. I do use sun block, though, if I'm going out - because I know it actually works!

My friend does the cleanse, tone, moisturise and has regular facials. She believes it keeps the skin 'young', complete rubbish, of course.

I love going to my local salon for a facial - it's a little treat for myself. I go every 6 weeks. I cleanse, tone, moisturise and exfoliate at home too.

I used to go for facials, but not anymore.
I exfoliate once a week and use moisturiser that has a spf 30 during the summer and spf 15 other times

If you have a large Boots the chemist near you they do very good facials by the Clarins beauticians in store. You pay a nominal sum of money but if you buy a product of theirs after the facial that money gets taken off the bill so the facial ends up being free!

No, don’t use them, did use quite a few in my teens though,

I use a Nivea energising mask weekly and cleanse, tone & moisturise every day. Never have had a facial done by a professional in my life. Always have sunblock on my face, even freezing winter days cos of the cold wind.

I use a good toner every morning and Aveeno Baby soothing cream twice a day. Keeps my skin soft and moisturized. Not expensive either.

I have had regular facials over the years but my beautician has moved away and I don't think I can be bothered to find another. Can anyone recommend a good home facial? I use Clarins for moisturising and eye care.

I always do the three step cleanse , tone , nourish night and morning with a good brand ( in my case Clarins) and it keeps my skin well. Now and again I have a facial but quite honestly the prices have gone up so much I dont know if I will have another. apart from the relaxation they dont seem to make a lot of difference. what I need is something more INVASIVE.

I have never been a pamperer, but I do like regular skincare. A good morning and evening routine (cleanse, moisturise and morning sun block) and a weekly exfoliation and overnight mask. I never go to a salon because I have Rosacea and so I understand my own skin best. And as for manicures - just at Christmas, the only time my nails are any good after gardening all year from February to November!

It's many years since I used a face mask, the ones in a sachet, but recently I tried an under eye mask. It was left over from a Christmas present. After 15 mins lying down with radio on it did make my eyes look brighter!

I tried this type of pampering in my distant youth but have no longer the inclination to spend money (especially on salon treatments) when any improvement is only temporary.
