At-home treatments to try if you can’t go for facials (as often) now

With the start of Phase 2, we can now head to the salons and aesthetic clinics to get our facials and treatments done. But since the establishments have to observe safe-distancing measures, getting an appointment might be hard unless you book a slot way in advance.

Which is why we’ve rounded up at-home treatments you can use to replace your regular facials and treatments and maintain your skin texture as you wait for your next slot.
