Reasons to Get a Facial

Expert Skin Analysis

Wherever you go to buy your skin care products- department stores, pharmacies, etc.- chances are they see your face with your make up on. The benefits of getting your skin analyzed through professional facials are that the Esthetician  will see you without makeup to reveal your true skin complexion. This allows the Esthetician to cater to your unique needs through professional treatments and suggest the best products for your home care routine. In addition to his or her ability to identify and treat your needs, your Esthetician works with your skin and she will achieve a proper analysis of what type of skin you have. This is exposure that a consultant in a department store may not be privy to.

Professional Strength Exfoliation…

Most facials include a professional form of exfoliation using ultra sound, microdermabrasion, enzymes, or acids. Some of the exfoliating ingredients mentioned can be spotted in ordinary skin care products but during a facial you will experience the treatment at a professional strength. The exfoliation is specifically catered towards your skin type so that it will leave you with results that smooth the skin, increase cellular turnover, soften lines, and break up skin discoloration to promote more even-toned skin.

Clean Out Blackheads and Clogged Pores

With proper preparation and skin softening techniques your Esthetician will use a skilled method to gently extract clogged pores, blackheads, and impurities without causing harm to your skin. People usually have a difficult time eliminating blackheads at home because home care products can only help to reduce clogged pores. It takes a professional Esthetician to properly prepare and soften the skin before manual extractions can take place in a safe and effective way.

Intensive Hydration

Every skin type needs hydration. It does not matter if you have oily, acne prone skin, or dry and flakey skin, your skin cells are like fish and need water to survive. In order to maintain healthy skin it is imperative to keep it hydrated. With oilier skin types, the face tends to produce more oil when moisture is lacking which is the opposite of your intention and need. Oily skin needs moisture, but the moisture it’s seeking is water, not oil. Hydrated skin is healthy skin and a facial will help to regulate the proper moisture level for whatever skin type you may be. For home use, serums are beneficial for hydrating the skin.

Problem Solve

Whether it’s dry skin, brown spots, redness, irritation, or inflamed acne, a good facial is always customized to focus on what your skin needs to help solve your skin problems. For example, if your skin is prone to brown spots and discoloration, your Esthetician will use skin brightening or lightening treatments. If your skin is dry then she will use lipid increasing ingredients to repair your skin’s protective barrier to reduce dryness. Facials are always geared to problem solve and the level of your facial’s intensity is contingent on the severity of your skin’s problem. By using the right combination of ingredients, we can really create change in the skin to improve your skin’s appearance to achieve your greatest complexion.
