Face Treatments

Facial treatments are not only for pampering and relaxation, they offer many health benefits to your skin, both in the short and long term. If you think about it we make regular visits to the dentist, hairdressers, gym and opticians so why should we not consider focusing some time on our skin? Here are some reasons why you should get facials regularly.

To Get the Most out of Your Skincare

Clogged pores and dead skin cells on the surface of the skin can prevent serums, moisturisers and other products from penetrating into the skin, which makes these products redundant. By having regular facials you can maintain smooth skin and refined pores, making it much easier for your skin to absorb products properly allowing them to do what they are meant to do.

To Prepare The Skin for Seasonal Changes

When the seasons change our skin is at its most vulnerable. It changes in accordance with the seasons and the elements that it is exposed to, I.e. temperature, humidity and how much sunlight it is exposed to. In the winter, a super hydrating facial will restore lost moisture, while a summer facial will work to calm sun damaged skin. Getting a facial in the spring will invigorate and nourish dull post-winter skin, and an autumn facial will prepare your skin for the cold months ahead.

Deep Cleansing

If you suffer from dry and/or sensitive skin, you may think that you shouldn’t cleans your skin too often or deeply. This however isn’t the case. Providing the correct cleanser is selected for your specific skin type, a deep cleansing facial can thoroughly remove dirt and oil build up without drying or aggravating the skin. Deep cleansing refines your pores and complexion making your skin look and feel rejuvenated. If you think about it it’s kind of like supplementing regular toothbrushing with visits to the dentist or hygienist.

Lymphatic Drainage

Most facials include a facial massage, which helps not only in promoting relaxation, but it also helps stimulate lymphatic drainage, helping to rid of toxins and reduce fluid retention. This improves circulation leavening the skin glowing and radiant.

For a Healthy Complexion

Following a thorough cleansing, exfoliating, facial massage, and masque application, your skin will be clear of old skin cells, your pores will be clear, allowing your skin to absorb products with benefitting properties.

Get to Know Your Skin

Your skin is constantly changing. There are many factors that can cause the skin to change such as hormonal changes, ageing, stress, taking prescribed medication, dental/medical procedures and illness. By visiting the same Skin Care Specialist, changes to your skin can be identity quickly, allowing for the correct treatment and products to be selected for your skins requirements.

Professional Exfoliation

It’s exceptionally difficult to avoid environmental damage to our skin. We’re all exposed to unavoidable toxins, UV rays and other environmental factors on a daily basis, which can cause our skin to become congested, dull, coarse, sensitive, dry and dehydrated. Professional exfoliation effectively removes dead skin cells, which brightens the skin and over time can help to reduce acne, scarring, smoothing the skin allowing for absorption of active products to treat specific skin concerns.

Alleviate Stress

We all live very different lives, whether busy or sedentary. Most of us don’t take any time out for ourselves, to relax and alleviate stress. By spending some time in a peaceful, relaxing environment we can help restore balance to the mind, as well as your skin. Remember our skin is the biggest organ of the human body and very often the physical signs of stress can be seen on our skin.

Anti-Aging

With each day that passes we all get older. We only have one face and we really need to take care of it if we want to avoid the appearance of premature ageing. Having regular facials, increases cell turnover, boosts collagen production and maintains healthy skin balance, which are all important for anti-aging.

Teen Skin

It’s no secret that teenagers can struggle to manage their skin. Some teens can experience overproduction of oils, due to fluctuating hormone levels, resulting in many skin complaints, acne being the most common. Teens are also renowned for not having a daily skincare routine, or using products that are much too harsh for their skin. Getting regular facials help to regulate the production of oils and is a great way for a teen to learn how to care for their skin properly, which will set them on a good path for the future. As we all know taking advice from parents when you’re a teen isn’t always well received, they are much more likely to listen to a skin care professional. Having better looking skin can also help with confidence and happiness.
