Beauty Aspects The life cycle of a facial

Facials are a popular skincare treatment that many people have regularly to rejuvenate and nourish and improve and maintain their skins health. Have you ever wondered what the true benefits of a facial might be? It’s so much more than just the immediate after glow! By understanding the life cycle of a facial you can ensure you get the maximum benefit for your skin.

Immediately after your facial, you’ll notice that your skin is smoother, firmer and has a healthier glow. This is because facials reduce inflammation, boost circulation and stimulate the lymphatic drainage boosting your skin health.

Facials deep cleanse, exfoliate, remove impurities and remove excess oil from the skin, which can clog pores that cause breakouts. By exfoliating we remove all the dead skin cells, so that all the other products used can penetrate into the skin more deeply and provide better results. If you have a special event coming up getting a facial will help your skin look its best on your big day.

But the benefits of a facial don't stop there. In fact you'll continue to see improvements in your skin for 72 hours after the treatment. This is because facials boost hydration and circulation, and cell turnover is accelerated. This leads to improved skin texture, tone and glow.

Homecare is vital for your skin after your facial to maintain the results. Over the course of the next few weeks, you'll notice your skin is firmer, smoother and more youthful. This is because facials stimulate collagen production, reduce fine lines and wrinkles and improve overall skin health.

To maintain these benefits, I recommend using SPF minimum 30 applied daily to protect your skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays plus blue screen lights and pollution. Incorporating healthy habits into your lifestyle such as eating a balanced diet and getting regular exercise and drinking lots of water will also improve your overall skincare health.

As the benefits of a facial can last for several weeks, scheduling a facial around every 4-6 weeks (depending on your skin type and other factors such as lifestyle stress levels) is optimal, to help maintain healthy skin. Dead skin cells can accumulate and impurities can build up without regular treatments.

In addition to the physical benefits, facials also provide a sense of relaxation and self-care. The soothing atmosphere in a salon, that gentle touch and the pleasant sounds and scents can help to reduce stress and promote a sense of well-being.
