What is a facial?

Facials are beauty treatments for your skin that address conditions such as aging, fine lines/wrinkles, acne and acne scars. Facials offer the well-known benefits of healthy, youthful and rejuvenated skin. While facials offer exfoliation and hydration that contribute to overall skin health, here are more surprising health benefits making them exceedingly more popular in recent years:

PROMOTES CIRCULATION:

The circulatory system carries nutrients throughout the body while simultaneously removing waste. With that being said, your skin is the largest organ of your body, so if you have poor circulation, it shows in dullness, pale, or discolored skin. One way to improve circulation is exercise, yet another way is through a facial massage. The massage step in a facial improves blood flow.

STRESS RELIEVER:

The biggest part of a facial is the massage. Along with getting that beautiful, glowy skin you’ve always dreamed about. Studies have shown a facial massage helps reduce anxiety and negative moods, as well as providing strong, beneficial effects of stress and relaxation.

While you can get these results from just basic facials, there are so many customized facials that you can add to your relaxation session. For example, you can always add on a dermaplane; which removes/exfoliates the dead surface skin, while always giving you a smooth surface touch. Another great one is microdermabrasion; it is used to treat uneven skin tone/texture, photoaging, melasma, and scars/acne scars. As an Aesthetician, facials are one of the most important and self boosting treatments we can offer!
