What is Facial?
Facial, what is this facial after all, it is nothing, just some steps which will heal your skin and help you from all the pollution & dust and all day/week stress, but after talking with many people I got to know that not everyone is fond of facial at spa because they don’t like it or you can say that their skin doesn’t like the chemical based products, so now I have a solution for this by which you can do facial sitting at home, not only this but also natural products which you can find in your household very easily.
What are the steps for a facial?
1. Cleanse
