The EXFOPRO has been designed to exfoliate, decongest, remove dead skin, work on circulation and oxygenate the skin.
How to perform a professional-style facial at home, as demonstrated during the Ménage à trois program on V , on October 26.
Frequency: 2 times per month
- cleansing/makeup remover oil (or jojoba oil);
- floral water (or pure water);
- Exfopro (or rosemary essential oil);
- Dermo-soothing formula (which calms the skin and reduces redness, an essential oil of matricaria chamomile or Italian helichrysum is also suitable);
- Vanilla Shea (...irreplaceable!)
To start!
- We clean the skin : we obviously recommend cleansing oil which removes makeup, cleanses and liquefies sebum and whose geranium already stimulates collagen; if you don't have cleansing oil, you can use jojoba oil (which doesn't have all the benefits, but which still softens sebum... and which is natural!). There is nothing like fat to clean the skin and eliminate unwanted things, think of the mechanic's black hands plunged into fat to be washed.
- Rinse with a damp washcloth.
- For a “real” spa treatment, spray floral water ; you can also skip this step.
- The heart of the treatment, exfoliation , has two methods; follow the one that suits you according to your skin type:
Method for thin, sensitive, irritated, rosacea skin (contraindications: couperose, irritated, hypersensitive skin, dermatitis, taking cortisone or AHA cream):
1-Pour 5 drops of the strong>EXFOPRO formula into the palm of your hand then apply to the face.
2-Apply cleansing oil (or jojoba oil) immediately after applying EXFOPRO.
3-Rinse with a washcloth immediately.
4-Apply the cleansing oil again and rinse.
5-Apply the DERMO-SOOTHING formula and over it...
6-Make a mask with Vanilla Shea**. Leave on overnight.
Method for normal, thick or comedonal skin (contraindications: taking cortisone or AHA cream):
Exfoliating formula:
Mix (in the palm of your hand or in a small bowl) 1/2 tsp. aluminum-free baking soda (little cow) + 1/2 tsp. cleansing oil (or jojoba) + 5 drops of Exfopro (or rosemary essential oil*).
1-Apply to the face with light strokes (like caresses on baby's skin), avoiding the eye area.
2-Rinse with a washcloth.
3-Cleanse with cleansing oil (or jojoba oil).
4-Rinse a second time.
5-Apply the DERMO-SOOTHING formula and over it...
6-Make a mask with Vanilla Shea**. Leave on overnight.
**The shea butter mask is a must when the skin starts to feel tight . It is made with Vanilla Shea Butter, which alone is a great help for dehydrated, dry skin, chapped hands and lips; it also helps to heal. This balm works well thanks, among other things, to the sea buckthorn oil and added vitamins A***). To make the mask (watch here), melt a tablespoon of shea butter over a candle (in a small chocolate fondue bowl or diffuser), test the temperature on your wrist, because you apply it hot, it should not burn obviously, on your face then put on a warm washcloth and leave for 5 minutes; you can repeat the mask two to three times to give wonderful elasticity to the skin and moisturize it deeply. Spoil your hands and feet while you're at it, you'll be delighted!
***Vitamin A is essential for regenerating, stimulating, forming collagen, increasing skin elasticity, helping to heal, and slowing down aging.
We offer you the opportunity to have a wonderful professional treatment at home... however, we cannot be held responsible for any inconvenience or other issues that may result. A little caution is in order!
