One of life’s greatest indulgences is walking into a luxurious spa, laying back, and enjoying a transformative facial that leaves you glowing, relaxed, and notably refreshed. With the right at-home facial steps, that same elevated experience is recreated in the comfort of your own space. KNESKO’s famous Gemclinical® facial treatment—an A-list favorite available at five-star spas around the world—promises all the above.
And what makes it particularly special is that all KNESKO products harness the power of Reiki energy alongside revolutionary technology that combines precious gemstones with clinically active ingredients.
“When formulating our products, my vision is to elevate traditional skincare into a truly intentional ritual that enhances both skin and spirit,” says Lejla Cas, celebrity esthetician and co-founder of KNESKO. “By fusing the power of gemstones and scientifically-proven ingredients, we’ve created a transformative experience that nurtures your inner glow as much as your outer beauty.”

We know that getting to the spa isn’t always feasible, so we’re pulling back the veil to give you a glimpse into our luxurious Gemclinical® facial treatment. With the right products and tools in hand, these at-home facial steps make it possible to recreate this luxury skincare routine anytime you want—with zero zigzagging through traffic to get to your appointment on time.
Step 1: Double Cleanse
Ever noticed how estheticians take their time with cleansing? It enhances the experience, but it’s also essential for your skin. With that in mind, begin your at-home facial steps slowly and intentionally with a double cleanse.
In our professional Gemclinical® facial treatment, we start with The Cleansing Balm to gently yet thoroughly sweep away buildup from the pores as it nourishes and softens skin. This gold-infused cleansing balm also features prickly pear, cranberry, and pomegranate oils to completely melt away makeup and impurities while cocooning skin in nourishing oils.
Follow up with The Cleanser, a gentle lotion-to-lather cleanser designed to complete the cleansing process, sweeping away any lingering impurities and ensuring the skin is fully prepped for what follows.
Rinse with lukewarm water and gently pat dry.

Step 2: Gently Exfoliate
Next, exfoliate your skin with The Exfoliator. This dual-action exfoliator combines delicate refining crystals to physically polish skin along with lactic acid and other alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) to further smooth. This multi-exfoliating approach instantly brightens dullness, visibly minimizes discoloration, and softens the appearance of fine lines.
It also can help improve product absorption for any skincare products you apply next. Exfoliation is crucial in recreating a professional luxury facial at home, so don’t skip this step.

Step 3: Gua Sha Face Massage
Here’s where luxurious at-home facial steps are taken to the next level. First, apply four to six drops of Gold Repair Face Oil to your face. This silky, lightweight facial oil is powered by KNESKO’s G-P8X™ Technology along with 18 deeply nourishing botanical oils.
Using gentle strokes, glide a Gua Sha tool across your face, starting from the center and moving outward along lymph pathways. This step boosts circulation, reduces puffiness, and enhances the absorption of active ingredients. Use this step-by-step guide on how to use Gua Sha on your face.
In a clinical survey using Gold Repair Face Oil, 90% noted visible improvement of fine lines and firmness, and 22% saw an instant boost in radiance immediately after application.
Step 4: Body Collagen Masks
Indulge in the ultimate at-home luxury facial moment by applying KNESKO’s cult-favorite collagen masks from forehead to décolleté. Infused with skin-revitalizing gemstones and minerals and a powerful dose of clinically active ingredients, they deliver transformative results.
Select your preferred collagen face mask and collagen neck and décolleté masks. You can mix and match collections, or use all the same depending on your skin needs. Drape them gently over your skin and let them set for 10 to 20 minutes.
To replicate a professional facial, use a gemstone roller on top of the mask to press the product onto skin and further massage and sculpt. All KNESKO treatments also come with a mantra; repeat this several times as you enjoy the stillness.
Step 5: Pro Collagen Face Serum
To complete your at-home luxury facial, apply a KNESKO gemstone-infused serum that targets your skin’s needs. Our collections include Diamond Radiance to add brilliance, Gold Repair to turn back the clock, Green Jade to calm and soothe, Black Pearl to detox and refine, Rose Quartz to protect against environmental stressors, and Amethyst to deeply hydrate.
In the evening, follow up with your preferred moisturizer, and in the morning apply an SPF. End your luxurious at-home facial with a moment of gratitude and by setting an intention for the rest of your day or night.
Step 6: Firming Moisturizers
Complete your at-home facial steps with firming moisturizers to lock in hydration, support the skin barrier, and reinforce long-term resilience. Start with The Eye Cream, an age-defying, peptide-infused formula that visibly brightens, firms, and lifts the eye area while helping reduce the look of fine lines, puffiness, and dark circles. Using your ring finger, gently press the cream onto skin around the orbital bone.
For an indulgent finish, use The Rich Cream. This replenishing formula is clinically shown to improve the appearance of firmness, elasticity, and visible lines in just four weeks. For a lightweight feel that packs the same pro-aging benefits, opt for The Light Cream, a gel-cream that delivers visible firming benefits in a weightless texture.
With the right at-home facial steps and thoughtfully formulated products, achieving a spa-level glow becomes part of your everyday routine. Over time, this consistent approach supports smoother, notably radiant, and resilient-looking skin.

FAQs: At-Home Facial Steps
What are the correct at-home facial steps?
At-home facial steps typically include cleansing, exfoliation, massage, masking, treatment, and moisturizing. When followed in the right order, each step builds on the last to support smoother, more radiant, and refreshed-looking skin.
How often should you do at-home facial steps?
A full at-home facial can be done one to two times per week, depending on your skin’s needs. More intensive steps like exfoliation and masking are best spaced out, while daily care supports ongoing results.
Do you need to double cleanse for an at-home facial?
Double cleansing is an essential first step, as it helps remove both oil-based and water-based impurities. This ensures the skin is fully clean and better prepared to absorb the products that follow.
Can you skip steps in an at-home facial routine?
While each step plays a role, the routine can be adjusted based on time and skin needs. Maintaining the core steps—cleansing, treatment, and moisturizing—helps preserve the overall benefits.
What order should skincare products be applied in a facial?
Skincare is typically applied from lightest to richest textures, starting with cleansing and ending with moisturizer. This allows each formula to absorb properly and perform as intended.
