3. Moisturize
   
• Drain out all the water and add fresh water. Smooth some baby oil or bath oil over your whole body. A few tablespoons may do. Then, sit back and soak for another 10 minutes.

They are the best and hassle-free answer to rejuvenate facial skin. You can either buy ready-packed masks from the mall and pharmacy, or you can use homemade ones.
