We all wait for that day, get anxious and become very happy when we visit the parlour, because we all are happy thinking about the glow on our skin/face to flaunt, as we come out of the parlour. But we hardly think about the fact that the glow we get on our faces, in parlors, is not going to last for more than 5-6 days, along with the use of harmful chemicals on our skin in abundance. Also, as a matter of fact, we can not visit a parlour every other week to keep the glow on our skin. So, we all want to find out the ways to do facial at home.
