Boy, do you need a facial! July 23, 2008
I have been so surprised with the amount of my clients who never had a facial before… There is quite a necessity for Sugaring, but when it comes to skin care I have found that many people see it as just a luxury.
Yes, there are many things about a facial that are luxurious. The hand, arm, shoulder, face, and neck massage can be heavenly, but they also promote Lymphatic drainage and Circulation which helps with the tone of your skin and to clear up congestion. Massage can also help to penetrate wonderful organic essential oils throughout the skin giving therapeutic benefits to your skin and mind. Whether your looking for the anti-depressant benefits of bergamot or re-energize with grapefruit and lime, these oils are customized to your needs throughout your facial.
Other reasons for monthly or bi-monthly facials-
*Steaming-opens pores and gives a deeper cleanse and penetration of products.
*Professional Products-Esthetitician’s use higher concentrated products to give your skin a boost from your daily skin care regimen.
*Exfoliation- You can exfoliate to much, so leave the deep exfoliation to the professionals during your facials and use something genle 2x a week. I recommend the Alchemilla Exfoliating Face Wash Cream. Exfoliation boosts cellular renewal,fights pigmentation, and more… More about all the wonderful benefits of exfoliating in a future post.
*Extractions- Estheticians are trained to extract open comedones(blackheads/whiteheads) without doing harm to the skin. This extraction part of the facial is very important because if left to long a comedone can make a pore larger. Yikes!
*Massage-One of the top reasons clients schedule facials. One client commented to me “It almost feels like a 2 for 1. Great looking skin and deep relaxation!”
*Masque- A step we miss very often during a busy lives. In a facial we can give you the time you need to soak up a therapeutic mask completely customized to your skin care needs.
All of this, is followed up with your customized toner, serums, moisturizer, eye treatment, lip care, and skin care recommendations to give your skin the very best at home. Everything that your skin has been craving to look and feel it’s very best.
I hope I have given you inspiration to find out for yourself how effective facials really are. I would love to offer to my first time facial clients:
See you soon,
Darling
