Maybe you already get facials with us and love them, or you’ve been considering getting a facial and you want to know how one might benefit you. Here are 10 great reasons to get a facial!

#1 Expert Skin Analysis

Whenever you buy your skin care products from a store (department stores, boutiques, Sephora, etc.), chances are if you’re asking for product recommendations they are seeing your face with makeup on. The benefits of getting your skin analyzed through a professional facial is that an Esthetician will see your skin without makeup to reveal your true skin type. They will get to touch your skin for any heat, texture, thickness etc along with ask you a series of in depth questions at the start and during your facial treatment. 

#2 Professional Skin Advice

During a facial, you are with your Esthetician for at least an hour. This creates an opportunity for your Esthetician to give you professional advice and educate you on your skin and it’s needs, and plenty of time for you to ask questions. Part of getting a facial is receiving education from an expert on how to care for your skin properly. We will walk you through our recommended home care products for you, how they work, how much to use, how often to use them and how they will improve your skin. 

#3 Professional Strength Exfoliation

Almost every facial will include a form of exfoliation using, enzymes, acids or an add on like dermaplaning or microdermabrasion. Some of the exfoliating ingredients mentioned can be found in our 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, break up skin discoloration and more.

#4 A Scope For Skin Cancer

Skin cancer is on the rise so it continues to become increasingly important to regularly check your skin for changes to moles and to look out for abnormal skin growths. Usually these changes are so subtle and develop at a slow pace so over time you may not notice what’s going on. A benefit of having a professional Esthetician work with your skin is that she will analyze your skin and bring to your attention any potential skin abnormalities that they feel you should get checked out with a medical doctor. An Esthetician can’t diagnose but can be viewed as a new set of eyes that may notice skin imperfections that you haven’t or in a place you can’t see.

#5 Clean Out Blackheads and Clogged Pores

With proper preparation and skin softening techniques, your Esthetician will use a skilled method to gently and effective perform deep pore extractions. Extractions remove blackheads, “pop” any pimples and remove any other hidden debris under the skin. This is best left to a professional like an Esthetician to effectively remove debris and also not damage the skin. You CAN break capillaries, bruise and scab the skin if not done properly. 

#6 Problem Solve – Dry skin, discolorations, acne, melasma etc.

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 focus on skin brightening, evening pigmentation and educating you on the products that will help you improve your skin health and pigment. If your skin is dry, she will use lipid increasing ingredients to repair your skin’s protective barrier to reduce dryness and rebalance the skin. 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, Estheticians can really create change in the skin to improve your skin’s appearance to achieve your greatest complexion and healthiest skin. 

#7 Intense Hydration

Every skin type needs hydration. It does not matter if you have oily, acne prone skin, or dry and flaky skin, your skin cells are like fish and need water to survive. In order to maintain healthy skin it is imperative to keep it topically hydrated. With oily skin, the face tends to produce more oil, but the skin still needs water to be balanced, reduced breakouts and more. Dry skin is often lacking oil and water and needs hydrating serums, moisturizer and maybe even a little bit of oil to balance and lock in moisture. 

#8 Increase Circulation to Increase Your Glow

Aging, stress and more leads to slowed circulation, which inevitably results in dull, tired looking skin. One important benefit of a facial (and often the best part!) is facial massage. Facial massage increases circulation bring fresh nutrients and natural glow to the skin. It also promotes lymphatic movement, facial sculpting, relieves tension and more. 

#9 Stress Relief

Aside from the many skin benefits facials offer, they are also extremely relaxing and immediately de-stress you both physically and psychologically. Imagine a room with dim lighting, soft music, a warm, comfy bed and all you can do is lay there and close your eyes. No distractions. Studies show that stress can lead to imbalanced skin, so what’s a better way to eliminate stress and promote healthy skin than with a facial? 

#10 Because You Deserve It!

As women we tend to spend an exceptional amount of time caring for other people in their lives. While this can be rewarding, it can be mentally and physically exhausting. Take some time for yourself each month to do something that makes you feel good and refreshed. You deserve it!
