The Benefits of Having a Professional Facial
A professional facial is essentially a multi-step skin treatment that is one of the best ways to take care of your skin. A facial basically cleanses, exfoliates and nourishes the skin, promoting a clear, well-hydrated complexion and can help your skin look younger. The considerable benefits of a regular professional facial as part of your ongoing routine minimises breakouts and soften lines, aids the skin's ability to shed, refines, tones and bestows a natural radiance that cannot be replicated at home. It is recommended that you have a regular facial every 4-6 weeks.
Facials will cleanse, exfoliate, tone and moisturise your skin. A good facial will leave your skin looking and feeling better, relaxed and refreshed, and the experience should allow you some well-deserved downtime and give you a good pampering.
What is a facial good for?
-
To clean and smooth: sloughing away dead skin cells with an exfoliator, and deep-cleaning pores with a cleanser, helps prevent acne and dull skin, and leaves skin feeling smoother and softer
-
To balance and moisturise: hydrating skin with the right facial oil, serum and/or moisturiser for your skin type will nourish your skin and balance over-dry and over-oily patches
-
To target specific skin concerns: such as blemishes and breakouts - healing, brightening products and toning techniques can be used to make your skin look clearer, firmer, fresher and lovelier!
How Do Facial Massages Work?
The primary target in facial massage is the lymph nodes underneath the ears and on the neck. When these areas become blocked, lymphatic drainage becomes sluggish, which is thought to lead to a puffy, dull complexion. It helps to drain the toxins, which can otherwise lead to skin that looks flat and grey.
Likewise, manipulating and massaging the skin means increased blood flow to the area. Stimulating the skin promotes blood flow that develops increased oxygen and nutrients. Massaging the skin also prevents it from being lethargic and boosts fibroblasts to produce more collagen.
The other benefit is exactly what you'd expect from a massage: a release in muscle tension. We spend all day squinting at small little screens and clenching our jaws in stress. When you work away those knots and tensions, you get a noticeable uptick in the firmness of the skin.
