The Complete Guide to Our At-Home Facial Treatment

April 2, 2020

Our At Home Facial Treatment Kit

Get your Glow on at The Moon…..I mean at home!

Just because you can’t make it in for a full facial doesn’t mean you can’t get beautiful skin at home. We’re now selling At-Home Facial Kits in our online store. Purchase your kit and then follow the instructions below to beautiful skin.

Tune into Facebook Live on Friday, April 10 at 4pm for a full demonstration of how to do an At-Home Facial with the kit. And we’ll have a YouTube video in the near future too.

Also check out the Mini-Me kit further down this page so you and your little one can have spa time together!

If you already have full size versions of these Skin Script products, you’re good to go!

What you will need:

Do an At-Home Facial Treatment with our kit
  • Two hand towels
  • Microwave safe container to hold warm towels
  • Bowl of warm water
  • At Home Facial Kit
    • 2 Skin Script Cleansers
    • Skin Script Toner
    • Skin Script 2% Retinol Scrub
    • 2 Skin Script Serums
    • Skin Script Moisturizer
    • Mask from our Raspberry Moon Collection
    • Washcloth
    • Facial Mask Brush

The Step-by-Step

These are your basic steps to do an at home facial using Skin Script Rx Professional Grade Skincare Products.

1. Gather all of your supplies.

2. Soak your hand towels in water, wring out the excess and put in a closed container that you can microwave for about 3 minutes. If you have essential oils at home, you can add a drop or two to the water as you fill up the bowl to soak your towels. (Lavender is always a good option.)

3. Dispense about a large pea size of Pomegranate Cleanser, blend on fingertips and apply to damp skin. Massage the cleanser over the face and neck. If you are also doing your decollete, you will need a little more cleanser. I always start with less and then add more if I need it so I don’t waste product. Remove cleanser with warm water and a washcloth.

4. Repeat Step 3 with the Green Tea Citrus Cleanser, especially if you are wearing a lot of makeup.

5. Apply about a large pea-to-dime-sized (if you are including your decollete area) amount of Skin Script’s 2% Retinol Exfoliating Scrub/Mask – leave on for up to 10 minutes. Use your warm towels after about 5 minutes of the mask being on. Be sure to wring out excess water on the towels, cool them down some if they are too hot, fold the towel in half length wise, and wrap around the face like a moon. 

6. After a few minutes, use the towels to remove the scrub, you may also need to use your washcloth to remove any extra beads. 

7. Spray with Cucumber Hydration Toner.

8. Take 1 -2 pumps each of Ageless Hydrating and/or Vitamin C Serums on your fingertips, blend them together then apply over the face and neck (you may need more to do your decollete). You can tap the product on the skin in four zones in a cross design and then blend in from there. Every chance you get to do a little massage, make it happen! 

9. Optionally, apply your favorite Eye Serum around the bottom and the top of the lid IF your eye serum allows for that. Follow the directions in the Eye Treatment Kit if you have it or if you have cucumbers then you can slice them and apply those to closed eyelids.

10. Apply appropriate Mask with a mask brush or your fingers, massage the skin for a few minutes if you want and then rest for 10-20 minutes.

11. Remove Mask with a warm washcloth.

12.  Hydrate with the best Moisturizer for your skin type. Apply a large pea-sized amount of moisturizer to fingertips and apply to your skin, again in a cross-like motion. 

13. Enjoy your amazing skin!

Eye Treatment Kit How-To

Be one of the first four people to purchase your At-Home Facial Kit and receive an Eye Treatment Kit that you can do at the same time as your facial treatment or separately to extend your Me Time!

What you will need

  • Small Bowl with ice cold water
  • Eye Treatment Kit
    • 2 Smooth Stones
    • 2 Cotton Rounds
    • Sample Eye Serum
    • Collagen Eye Mask
  1. Put the stones in the ice water to chill.
  2. Cleanse the eye area (if doing at the same time as the At Home Treatment, do this when you cleanse in Step 3, above)
  3. Apply eye serum on the top and bottom eye area depending on your eye serum directions (see Step 9 in the At Home Treatment, above)
  4. Wet the 2 cotton rounds in the ice cold water, squeeze gently to remove excess water and have them nearby as you find a comfortable place to lay down.
  5. After applying your face mask in Step 10 above, place your eye collagen mask over your eye area, and top with the cotton rounds and then the cold river stones.
  6. Rest for 10-20 minutes.
  7. Return the stones to the ice water for a few minutes while you remove the collagen mask (but don’t discard yet) and remove the face mask as directed in Step 11, above.
  8. For a real spa experience, take any extra collagen from the mask (those sheets always have excess) and apply to your face and around the eye. Use the ice cold flat stones to do a massage around the eye area. Work from the inner eye out in circular motion. This is SO COLD BUT SO GOOD for the eyes, especially those suffering from allergies dark circles, puffiness and tired eyes. Keep expanding the massage outward from forehead to temples, down either side of the nose across the sinus cavities, even along the jawline and down the neck as long as the stones have some “slipperiness” to them.
  9. Finish with the moisturizer for your face in Step 12, above.
The Mini Me Facial Treatment Kit

The Mini Me Facial Treatment Kit

Have kiddos at home and you’re trying to keep them busy? You know they’re going to want to do facials too! They can basically do the same steps as you, minus a few products. We have a Mini Me Facial Treatment Kit that’s available on its own, or bundle it with the At-Home Facial Treatment Kit for a special add-on price.

What you will need:

  • Two hand towels
  • Washcloth
  • Microwave safe container to hold warm towels
  • Bowl of warm water
  • Honey, preferably local, in a small bowl
  • Mini-Me Facial Kit
    • Skin Script Cleanser (either Pomegranate or Green Tea)
    • Skin Script Toner
    • Skin Script Moisturizer
    • Mask from our Raspberry Moon Collection
Your little one can join you in spa time
  1. Pomegranate Cleanser or Green Tea Citrus Cleanser (Green Tea if your little one has Gluten Allergies) used the same way as Step 3, above, though they probably don’t need as much product.
  2. They don’t really need an exfoliator but you could use some honey on them. Put about 1-2 teaspoons of honey – local if possible – into a little bowl, apply a few drops of warm water to make the honey more liquid so it will spread better. Apply to face with fingertips and let sit for 5 minutes.
  3. Microwave a damp hand towel for 3 minutes, let cool slightly, and use it to remove the honey
  4. Spray with Cucumber Toner.
  5. Apply Mask and leave on for 10 minutes. If you have cucumbers then slice them and place them on their closed eyelids. 
  6. Remove Mask with a warm washcloth.
  7. Apply a pea-sized amount of Moisturizer to fingertips and dot on face before blending in.
  8. Enjoy your amazing skin!

Alcohol in Skincare? For Shame…….or no?

May 29, 2019

Is alcohol in skincare good or not so good?

A few weekends ago at the Skin Script Empowerment Retreat, we got to hear from the John Stanek, the formulator behind Lisa’s magic and probably one of the fastest speakers I have ever heard! LOL. He was a wealth of knowledge and you can tell that he is very passionate about his work.

Is alcohol in skincare good or not so good?

One of the topics he spoke about was alcohol in skincare, specifically in the Skin Script line and why it is used.

There is this big panic about having alcohol in skincare products. The truth of the matter is that not all alcohols are created equal and not all alcohols are bad. We actually need alcohol in some products to help the product work better, as an anti-bacterial agent, as an emulsifier, and they also play well with essential oils.

Here are some alcohols that are used in skincare and why we actually use them:

Simple Alcohols like Ethanol act as an astringent, drying, antiseptic and evaporates quickly.

Denatured Alcohol helps deliver active ingredients into the skin because it has great solvent properties.

Fatty Alcohol or Cetyl Alcohol is non-drying and has a complex molecular structure. They have a fabulous emollient effect on products and also helps to slow trans-epidermal water loss.

SD Alcohol is commonly known as budding or baker’s yeast. It is a brilliant solvent that blends well with water. It will change the environment so the formulator can add active ingredients that otherwise would be insoluble, into the final product. It is like pixie dust or having a magic wand!

So although some alcohols are bad for the skin, there are some that are needed to make a stellar product line. John Stanek was very clear that Skin Script as a whole uses the least amount of alcohol as possible and only for a very specific purpose.

So rest assured you are in good hands with Skin Script and with Raspberry Moon!

Cheers!

Nicole
