Why a professional Facial is important for healthy skin

Our skin is the largest organ of the body. The skin on our face is much thinner and more sensitive than the skin on the rest of our body. Taking care of our skin with professional facials is just as important as a balanced diet, enough sleep and regular exercise. Each of us is different, so is our skin, which is why everyone's facials should be too. Treating yourself to a facial once every 4 to 6 weeks can benefit your skin in many ways.

While a professional facial can be a bit expensive for some, there are many benefits to getting a professional facial that make it worth going at least four times a year.

Clear pores

The first part of a professional facial is a deep cleanse. Sophisticated products and equipment can help deep clean the skin without disrupting the skin's natural barrier function, which has a balanced pH and oils and lipids essential to skin health.

Skin analysis by a skin expert

A very important step of a professional facial is a thorough skin analysis. The skin expert determines which products and treatments she will use for the rest of the facial.

Peel

A peel is an important step during a professional facial, because the skin is constantly producing new cells. A peel removes dead skin layers, opens and unclogs pores to make the skin smooth.

Extract

Perform extraction of blackheads and clogged pores safely and correctly without damaging your skin during professional facials.

Massage

A professional facial is a 'facial massage'. Massage is a very necessary part of the facial as it stimulates circulation, brings oxygen to the skin and promotes relaxation.

Face mask

Professional masks are important because they target specific skin problems. They can be soothing, calming, hydrating, purifying or energizing and can work in a variety of ways.

Toner, hydration and protection

A toner is important to restore the natural pH value of the skin and to prepare the skin for proper absorption of serum and moisturizing cream.
