An anti aging facial is a series of steps that use anti aging products to give the skin nutrition to bring life back into the facial skin.
Women who have used a good skin care regime all their life, have a good diet and supplementation program, tend to have less signs of aging on their face than those women who do not follow these types of routines.
You do not need to go to a beauty therapist to give yourself a good anti aging facial, though regular visits to the beautician are of great benefit if they use the right type of products.

1. Your anti aging facial begins with a double cleanse.
   Try to find a cleanser does not have drying ingredients in it like alcohol, sodium laurel sulphate and other toxic chemicals.
   Foaming cleansers generally have chemicals in them that can dry out the skin.
   Cleanse your face once and wipe off with a warm cloth to open the pores, and then cleanse again to get deeper into the pores.
   
2. Tone your face with a non-alcohol, natural mineral salt base to remove excess dirt and supply the face with minerals.
   
3. Use a defoliant that does not contain chemicals and is gentle to the skin.
   A good home recipe is to combine Himalayan crystal salt and raw sugar with virgin fine olive oil or avocado oil and a drop of lemongrass essential oils.
   Gently rub into the face, neck and decolletage area in anti clockwise motion.
   (Moving in an anti clockwise motion is an old wives tail for anti aging facial routines, believed to wind back the clock).
   
4. Tone again.
   
5. Now add a water-based or wheat germ based serum that contains phyto-nutrients and or antioxidants.
   Let that soak into your skin for a few minutes while you relax.
   If you can not find one, a shot of wheat grass juice will do the trick.
   
6. Apply a mineral based or antioxidant based mask on.
   Try to use organic chemical free products as many products with chemicals in then do not have that much active ingredients.
   Leave on as instructed.
   
7. Wipe the mask off with warm water and a face cloth.
   
8. Apply an oil based serum.
   
9. Apply your anti-wrinkle cream and eye cream.
   

These are the basic steps of any anti aging facial that would be performed professionally.
