Tips
- If you place cucumber slices over your eyes, it can make it more relaxing and fun, or you can use a basic sleep mask. Cucumber slices also moisten the area around your eyes where you shouldn't rub facials.
- Don't use two facials in one day. You need some natural oils in your skin, and these facials will remove excess oils.
- Select the right facial for the right type of skin for the best results.
Warnings
- Always pat dry gently; don't rub or you will cause redness and possibly damage the fine skin around the eye area.
- If you suffer any reaction, such as a rash or breaking out, cease use immediately and see your health professional. Be responsible and avoid any ingredients which cause allergy problems for you.
