Some time ago I was looking for a spa. I longed for a facial simply for the joy of being pampered after work. I soon learned that most spas in Nuremberg close by six or half past which makes me ask: Who goes there? Aren't other women working full time? I finally found one that is open till eight but oh that spa looked so 90s - all white and red and ugly! I couldn't make myself go there. How can one relax in the 90s? Finally it struck me that I could do the whole thing at home. No closing hours there! So I started my web research and found lots and lots of instructions. In the end I combined my three favorites - Thank you Chamy, divine caroline and Lauren Conrad! You made my Monday evening.

Die Produkte habe ich für meine trockene Haut gewählt. Die Marken sind natürlich Geschmackssache. Aber wenn ihr ebenfalls trockene und empfindliche Gesichtshaut habt, kann ich alle hier verwendeten Produkte empfehlen. Doch nun zu den einzelnen Schritten eines Facials.
I chose products to suit my dry skin. The brands are a matter of taste but if you have dry and sensitive skin, too I can recommend all of these products. But lets get to the step-by-step of a facial.

Schritt 2: Nun geht es ans Peeling. Es ist nicht so einfach, eines zu finden, das für trockene Haut geeignet ist, aber die Reinigende Maske von Merz Spezial passt gut. Meinen Lippen habe ich auch ein Peeling verpasst, allerdings ein selbst gemachtes. Das Rezept findet ihr bei Lauren Conrad. Ich habe nur die Hälfte gemacht und hatte immer noch etwas übrig. Sehr zu empfehlen!
Step 2: Choose a peeling for the next step. It is not so easy to find the right peeling for dry skin but this one from Merz Spezial works well. I also used a peeling on my lips but that one I made myself. Go over to Lauren Conrad for the recipe. It's great (and tastes good)! I halved the ingredients though and still had some leftover.
Step 3: Tone your skin to refresh it and restore your skins pH after cleansing and peeling. I recently discovered L'Oréal Hydra Active 3 and like it a lot. After toning steam your face to open the pores. Pour hot water into a bowl, bend your head over it and cover it with a towel. Breath relaxed. Do this for about ten minutes. You will probably want to lift your head from time to time for some cooler air.

Schritt 5: Ein Feuchtigkeitsserum ist kein muss, aber tut der Haut sehr gut. Ich habe L'Oréal Skin Perfection verwendet. Sehr wahrscheinlich wegen der schönen Verpackung. Aber es ist auch tatsächlich gut.
Schritt 6: Zum Schluss wird noch eine Feuchtigkeitscreme aufgetragen. Bei mir war das die neue Brighten-up creme von bebe (danke Steffi!).
Step 4: Apply a mask. There are masks for every skin type and every need. I decided on Weleda's Smoothing Care Mask. It smells like heaven!
Step 5: A moisturizing serum is no must but very nice for your skin. I used L'Oréal Skin Perfection which I probably bought for its nice packaging. But it is also really good!
Step 6: Finally apply a moisturizing cream. I used bebe's new Brighten-up creme (thank you, Steffi!).

I wanted to see what these 90 minutes do to me so I took before and after pics. I tried to smile into the camera the same way but clearly after one and a half hour of pampering it was a lot easier to keep my eyes open. It was wonderful!
