Types of Facials: Determining which type of professional facial is the right type for you may seem complicated, but it doesn’t have to be. All it takes is identifying your biggest skin concerns, and being open with your esthetician. Even if you skim the rest of this article, make sure to remember this: the most important thing to do when determining the best pro facial for your skin is to share your concerns with your esthetician and trust her recommendations! There are hundreds, if not thousands, of different types of facials out there, and trusting a great esthetician is your best bet to get skin that’s younger-looking, glowing and healthy. Why do I need a professional facial? Here’s some skin science: Your circulatory system’s ability to nourish your tissues and remove toxins and waste (and help prevent premature age signs like wrinkles and sagging) actually starts to slow down in your early twenties. Combine that with hormonal breakouts, sun damage and poor diet, and you get a multitude of reasons to get a facial – at any age, and no matter what (if any) skin aging or damage has shown up on your skin. Pro facials are a way to counteract both visible aging, and the ‘unseen’ damage that is about to surface. What signs tell me I need a facial?
All the reasons you need a facial

Skin Condition 1) Prevention If you’re already happy with your skin, why get a facial? The truth is, consistent facial care by an esthetician can help prevent future skin care concerns that may appear – from monthly breakouts, to seasonal sensitivities, and even the first signs of aging, like fine lines. Most skin care experts agree that prevention is a key facial benefit: “Let’s say you’re young and have genetically great skin. You don’t think you need a facial, but most people don’t think about anti-aging until it’s too late. Receiving regular facials is about maintaining healthy skin, just like continuing your exercise program when your body is fit. It’s the same thing with your skin. Keeping the skin healthy and fit with regular facials is so much easier than waiting until you are seeing signs of aging – lines, wrinkles, pigmentation and loss of firmness before you begin taking care of your skin with professional treatments. 2) Anti-aging As we stated above, anti-aging is one of the number one reasons you should receive a facial. Anti-aging facials and skin care should start well before most people think: Regardless of when you start, regular anti-aging facials will help keep your skin strong, healthy and more resistant to the toxic effects of intrinsic aging (that’s the natural, chronological aging that you can’t control). If wrinkles, fine lines, age spots and other age signs start to crop up, anti-aging facials are even more important. 3) Acne Worried about breakouts? Regular spa facials may be your perfect solution. A good esthetician will know exactly which facial to perform for your skin type, whether you have true acneic skin, or are just prone to the occasional blemish. Facials for acne can improve existing breakouts, diminish large blemishes, help your skin heal and prevent further breakouts. Your esthetician will know the best way to properly prep your skin and extract clogged pores without causing irritation, damage, or more blemishes. The number one way to help prevent and heal acne is to combine professional spa facials with the right at-home care. 4) Dry skin Do you have dry, rough, flaky or “tight” skin? We’ve all been there (especially in the dead of winter). While finding the right moisturizer for your skin type is a piece of the puzzle, it is only one small aspect of managing dry skin. The most important piece? You guessed it, facials. Facials for dry skin can deliver immediate, visible results and can kick start your skin to function properly. You can expect to leave the treatment room with skin that is fresh, soft, hydrated, smooth, and glowing. Even if none of these reasons apply to you, there are still MANY reasons to receive a facial. |
WHAT IF you could control your skin’s destiny? You can. You control 80% of your skin’s future (only 20% is genetic). And that’s great news! The choices you make today will affect the way you look and feel tomorrow, next year and well into the future. WHAT IF you could always be a few steps ahead, anticipating your skin’s biological needs? You can. With the right care, your skin can visibly improve with age so you can look even better tomorrow than you do today.
A MULTITUDE OF FACTORS contribute to the outward appearance of your skin: environmental aggressors like the sun, pollution, and the weather; internal aggressors, like diet and hydration; and your own biochemistry, such as hormones and genetic predispositions. Whether you are looking to improve aging skin, acne, pigmentation irregularities, rosacea or other conditions, the intricate skin system requires a multifaceted approach to treatment.
