What is a facial?
A facial is a skin care treatment that can be done at home or in a salon. It’s designed to cleanse, exfoliate and moisturize the skin. A facial is also great for treating acne, sun damage and other skin conditions.
A basic facial includes an analysis of your skin type as well as recommendations for products that will work best for you. The technician will then perform an exfoliation (removing dead cells from the surface) followed by cleansing with steam or hot towels before massaging on creams and serums specific to your needs–for example: hydrating hydrogel masks help retain moisture levels while peptide-based serums reduce inflammation caused by breakouts or dryness caused by winter weather conditions
Why do facials improve your skin?
If you’re looking to improve the appearance of your skin, a facial is a great place to start. Facials can remove dirt and oil from pores, exfoliate dead skin cells and stimulate the production of new ones. They also help improve blood flow to the face which improves collagen production and firmness in the skin.
If you want clearer, brighter and smoother looking skin then getting regular facials is an essential part of achieving this goal!
What's in a facial treatment?
Whether you’re a novice or a pro, it’s important to know what goes into a facial treatment. Here are some of the most common questions about facials:
- How often should I get them?
- How long does it take?
- What products do they use during the procedure?
Facial treatments can vary based on your skin type and desired results (such as hydration or anti-aging). The best way to find out which one is right for you is by talking with your facialist before getting started on any regimen!
The Different Types of Facials
- Some facials are designed to treat a specific skin condition such as acne, rosacea or eczema. These types of treatments will usually include exfoliation, extraction (if needed) and application of topical products that address the condition itself or improve its appearance while reducing inflammation around affected areas on the face.
- Other facials target specific concerns like aging skin, dryness or pigmentation issues by using gentle products that hydrate without irritating sensitive areas like the eye area where there's less oil production than normal areas on our bodies like cheeks or forehead so there's less risk for irritation when using these types of products regularly over time!
How often should you get a facial?
The frequency of your facial treatments depends on the condition of your skin. If you have acne, it’s best to get a facial every 4-6 weeks. If you have sensitive skin, it’s best to get one every 2-3 months.
The reason for this is that if you have acne or other breakouts on your face, then the more often you get facials (which are designed to clean out pores and remove buildup), the more likely it is that these issues will clear up quickly enough for them not to come back after each treatment. On the other hand, if someone has sensitive skin but doesn’t go in for regular facials at all–or only goes once every six months–the buildup from products like makeup or dirt could cause irritation over time leading up until they finally decide they need help!
Benefits of facials
What to expect during a facial
There are many types of facials, each with its own set of benefits. Some facials may include extractions and massage while others focus on cleansing and moisturizing. In addition to these treatments, some facials also include masks or serums that are applied directly to your skin during the treatment session.
When you arrive at your appointment for a facial treatment, you’ll be asked to lie down on the table so that your esthetician can perform her work without interruption. During this time she will gently exfoliate any dead skin cells from your face using either an exfoliating scrub or cream before removing any impurities from below the surface using her fingers or tools such as microdermabrasion brushes (which look like tiny sponges). If there’s an area where acne has formed under layers of scar tissue–such as blackheads around nostrils–your esthetician may use extractions techniques such as steam extraction or manual extraction in order remove them entirely.*
