Benefits of Facials for Your Skin and Well-Being

You measure your skin health. It’s not measured by makeup, products, or anyone's opinion. Loving your face simply because it’s yours is the real secret. And if it’s been a long week, let’s get you into something that’ll take the edge off. Something to remind you that you’re just as human as you’ve ever been! You deserve the gift of rest, slowing down and having a few moments to spend taking care of yourself.

The world of facials is ready for you to dive on in and let your skin breathe. And since your skin is just one aspect of whole body health, we’d love to set you up with all of the bells and whistles that can make your skin happy, healthy and radiant.

How can facials support healthy skin?

Healthy skin begins within, and we’re absolute cheerleaders when it comes to focusing on your basic needs- being well rested, nourished and hydrated.  If you’ve ever received a facial, you probably had a pretty standard, run-of-the-mill experience. 

But the world of facials is rapidly expanding, and as the aesthetics industry introduces new technology, skincare health has become more accessible and vital to protect our future selves from sun damage, air pollution, and all of the fun things that come along with it.

Deep, full, consistent hydration 

Dehydrated skin will make its presence known by soaking up all of your moisturizer, primer AND foundation. You might catch a glimpse of yourself in the middle of your day and wonder whether or not you even applied make-up before leaving the house- that’s dehydrated skin at work. Sucking up any semblance of moisturizer, foundation or otherwise.

Facials offer the skin a chance to heal, repair, and restore. And if you’ve been struggling to stay hydrated, now might be the perfect time to schedule yourself a session to tide you over.

Skincare products work harder and better on hydrated skin

When your skin is deeply, completely hydrated, and nourished, it has a better chance of utilizing each and every molecule of your serums, essences, and moisturizers. It is free to absorb all of those nutrients that it’s often lacking, and in turn, your skin begins to heal from the inside out.

Your skin isn’t afraid to be dramatic, it acts as a reflection of what it needs

If you’re struggling with dark spots, rosacea, dry patchiness, or other skin concerns, consistency is key. Introducing regular facials, with the support of your aesthetician, can help isolate and target a concern– making it so much easier to determine what might be causing it.

Maybe it’s a product, your laundry detergent, or an atmospheric reaction. No matter what the concern might be, having the foundations of hydrated, moisturized and exfoliated skin is essential to uncovering the rest of your needs.

How do facials help with clearing blemishes and acne?

There are so many biological and chemistry-related factors that are connected to acne. And whether your acne is consistent or you just have a few blemishes here or there, setting up a skin care regimen that supports overall health is in your best interest. It’s about how you feel about the state of your skin. It’s about what type of needs you have and fulfilling them. 

Sloughing off dead skin to reveal a new skin layer beneath

Acne is caused by a myriad of fluctuating factors, from excessive oil and debris to rapid hormonal shifts. The common questions are always about how to eradicate acne but adopting skin health and maintenance practices along the way is the key to long-term success. 

Talking with your aesthetician during your facial is a great way to point out areas where you feel you may be struggling, whether in spirit or mind, about your skin.

Exfoliation, especially with AHAs or BHAs

Exfoliation is your skin’s ticket to radiant, evenly textured skin. These ingredients, known as hydroxy acids, accelerate your skin cell turnover — revealing a fresh, glowing layer of skin beneath. 

Softening the pores and allowing the skin to breathe

Facials are incredible for acne or blemish-prone skin types. The combination of hot water and steam works harmoniously to allow your skin to breathe deeply. With your pores at the ready, your aesthetician can apply products that will both hydrate and stimulate your skin through active ingredients.
