As an esthetician and a girl who’s passionate about skin care, I’ve done facials using all sorts of products from frou frou fancy to budget-friendly. After trying both, I can tell you from experience that it’s completely possible to get a spa quality facial at home!
My favorite place to shop products that give amazing results without breaking the bank is Sally Beauty. Here’s a step-by-step guide to giving yourself (or a friend) a spa quality facial using products under $50:

1. Remove Makeup
Using a makeup remover wipe (or any makeup remover applied to a cotton ball), remove all makeup from eyes, lips and face.
2. Cleanse
Apply a generous amount of cleanser to face, starting at your chin and working your way up, in a circular motion.
Remove cleanser using a washcloth ran under warm water.
3. Exfoliate & Steam
Gently rub exfoliating scrub onto face in a circular motion.
Run a washcloth under hot water, wring out excess water, then drape washcloth over face for 5 minutes.
Remove exfoliating scrub with a washcloth ran under warm water.
