Facial 101

Facial 101

Facials are one of the best ways to take care of your skin and help improve its health. A facial cleanses, exfoliates and nourishes the skin, promoting a clear, well-hydrated complexion, and can help your skin look younger. 
This can benefit scarring, wrinkles and crinkles and even improve deep hyperpigmentation. Soothing steps can be added to reduce redness for sensitive skin too.

How Often Should I Get A Facial?

It varies from person to person. Ideally, get a facial monthly because that’s how long it takes the skin to regenerate. Try to have a facial at least four times a year, as the season changes. You may need it more frequently if you are trying to clear up a case of acne, especially at the beginning. Otherwise, once a month is plenty. You can overdo it, especially if you have sensitive skin.

 

4 Benefits to Getting a Monthly Facial

Getting a facial is not only relaxing and rejuvinating to the face, but also the mind. Facials allow you to focus on your breathing and regain your confidence in having healthy beautiful skin. Monthly facials help to support your at home skincare program to achieve the healthiest skin possible. Here are 4 benefits to monthly facials: 

1. Increase Circulation

Facials help to renew skin cells by circulating the blood flow under the skin, which then can decrease puffiness and fluid build up that comes from our lymphatic system. Good circulation is important in that it brings oxygen,  proteins and nutrition to the skin, while ridding our skin of toxins.

2. 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 a facial helps remove the build up of oil and dirt that an everyday cleanser can not. Bacteria derived by the oil and dirt are also removed, leaving you with a healthy glowing skin.

3. 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 strengthen 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)

4. 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.
