5 Benefits of receiving regular facials
Most people will wait until they encounter a skin concern (weird breakouts, dry itchy skin, dark spots, etc.) or have an upcoming special event before coming in for a facial. While this is totally OK, these frustrating problems can often be prevented by proper monthly facials and counseling on the correct at-home products.
Even with times being tough in this economy, and it’s undeniably smart to cut back on extraneous purchases, there are several reasons why a monthly facial is a good investment for the largest organ of your body.
1. A facial will cleanse the pores on a much deeper level than washing your face at home. Similar to a good dental cleaning, this is what a facial can do for the skin/pores. Even non-acneic skin can use a good deep cleanse. Extractions/cleaning out the pores can help to maintain clear skin, stop acne formation, as well as can help reduce the appearance of pore size. Often times left unchecked, pores can start to stretch and widen with the accumulation of oil and debris. A professional Esthetician is trained to carefully extract any debris from the pore, without damaging or scarring your skin. Also, reduces the risk of infection, unlike picking at your skin at home.
2. The stratum corneum (the outermost layer of visible skin) will completely renew itself approximately every 28 days. As we age, this process slows down. Facials increase circulation of the blood under the skin, encouraging cell renewal, and thus helps reduce fine lines, age spots, and relieve dehydrated skin. We will all age, but we can do it more slowly with glowing, firm, and hydrated skin.
3. Going in for regular Facials allows a professionally trained esthetician to counsel you on the proper products you should be using at home for your specific needs, and can tailor it to any changes.
4. Facials maintain any bigger procedures you may already have had (laser, IPL, deep chemical peels). Even though you have achieved great results by these advanced treatments, your skin still needs the regular maintenance to keep your skin looking great.
5. Your skin is the largest organ of elimination – acting as a barrier, protecting you from the elements and housing your organs. By taking good care of your skin you improve your overall health, not just your appearance. Estheticians provide a very important service in alerting you to serious skin problems that may need medical attention, and teaching you preventive care.
Facials are ideal every 4-6 weeks unless you have a specific skin concern you are trying to overcome (acne, hyper-pigmentation, etc), and then you may need to come in for a series of treatments closer together. Also, most skin products can take up to 6-8 weeks to start to treat active skin cells, but by speeding up the renewal process with a facial you can make these products work faster and more effectively.
