What are the benefits?

​

There are a countless number of benefits to perform facial treatments, some of them are:
Increase Circulation Facials help to renew skin cells by circulating the blood flow under the skin, which then can decrease puffiness and fluid buildup that comes from our lymphatic system. Good circulation is important in that it brings oxygen, proteins, and nutrition to the skin, while riding our skin of toxins.

 

Deep Cleansing

​

Although, we like to think our daily skin cleaners are getting deep down into our pores, they can only do so much.

Getting facial helps remove the buildup of oil and dirt that an everyday cleanser cannot. Bacteria derived by the oil and dirt are also removed, leaving you with healthy glowing skin.

 

Anti-Aging

By increasing the circulation in your face, the cell turnover rate helps to slow down the aging process. Getting a monthly facial massage stimulates collagen production and strengthens the muscles in your face, minimizing fine lines and wrinkles and gaining softer smoother skin. (Collagen is naturally produced, but unfortunately starts to decline at about age 25).

 

Tones the skin

Facials have a step of facial massage. It essentially calms the mind and soothes the skin. Benefits of facials include blood stimulation and a healthy glow but the facial massage tones and tightens the facial skin. The skin on the face and neck is prone to become saggy and wrinkly, but massage with fingertips can strengthen the facial muscles and tone them too.

 

Reduces pigmentation

If you have pigmented skin or uneven skin tone with red, dark, and tan spots on your face and neck area, then regular facials can help you. Pigmentation can occur due to melanin production, sun exposure, internal disease, and a lot more. Facials reduce hyperpigmentation and give toned skin. If you have pigmentation, you should opt for specific facials that cater to this issue. Such facials use antioxidants and Vitamin C products, which lightens the dark patches and improves the overall complexion, products adding to the face’s natural radiance.

Skin detoxification

Your skin needs rejuvenation. If you don’t detoxify, it can become dry and flaky. After a while, you can suffer from acne. The problems are ample but can be catered to through facials. Almost all facials use skin products rich in antioxidants that can help detoxify the skin. The products also contain essential oils and herbal extracts, which help in the detoxification process.
 

Relaxation

Getting a facial is not only relaxing to the face, but also the mind. Facials allow you to focus on your breathing and regain your confidence in having healthy beautiful skin.

 

How often do you need facials?
 

You can get a facial every month, but the exact number depends on a lot of factors like:

 

Skin type:

 

Every individual’s skin type is different, and thus, what suits your best friend might not suit you. For example,
if you are someone who has oily skin and your skin is prone to acne and breakouts, you will need a facial once every two weeks until the issues have been resolved. Also, if you have dry, normal, or combination skin, getting a facial once a month is fine.

Skin Care Goal:

If you have been looking for beautiful and younger-looking skin for a long time, then you should start
early. You should follow a strict facial routine as suggested by your beautician. If the appearance of skin matters to you, then you must take facial routines seriously.

 

Condition of your skin:

​

Do you have any basic skin problems like blackheads or whiteheads? Do you have dull skin, acne,
or hyperpigmentation? The frequency of the facials will depend on this as well.
Budget: Your budget will affect your facial routine as a lot of these treatments are quite expensive. Thus, if your budget is tight, try getting a facial done once every two months.

 

How is the facial treatment performed?

Every facial treatment should always begin with a cleansing of the skin, in which any type of product, makeup or dirt that may be on the skin will be removed. This step allows a better absorption of the products afterwards.

The second step is recommended exfoliation of the skin to remove dead cells that could clog the pores. After this we must apply lotions/tonic to stabilize the pH of the skin. Once the A B C of any facial treatment is finished, we begin with the personalized treatment according to the skin type and condition.

 

Finish the treatment with sunscreen to prevent the skin from being fully exposed to solar radiation and we also protect it from free radicals.

 

Do we need aftercare after a facial?
Yes. After each treatment, the care we give our skin is important, this maintenance is necessary to achieve the goal of our skin improving every day. The beautician will give you indications of products that you should include in your care routine, as well as everything that you should avoid.
