WHAT IS A FACIAL
A Facial is a non-invasive skin treatment that includes cleansing, Moisturizing, exfoliating, and other elements that are customized to your specific skin type and needs. Facials are performed by licensed skin care professionals like Aestheticians, and they’re intended to:
- ADDRESS YOUR SKIN CONCERNS
- PROMOTE OVERALL SKIN HEALTH
- HELP YOU RELAX
A facial is like a big drink of water for your skin. After treatment, your skin will look healthy, hydrated, and radiant.
BENEFITS OF GETTING A FACIAL
Even people who have clear skin can benefit from facials, especially because clear skin doesn’t always equate to healthy skin. Facials can help hydrate, plump, and protect your skin for the long haul. Doing these treatments allows your skin to be continuously exfoliated, which helps bring forth new skin. This helps to:
- SHRINK THE SIZE OF YOUR PORES
- LESSON YOUR SKIN’S OIL PRODUCTION
- REDUCE HYPERPIGMENTATION (DARK SPOTS)
- HELP BALANCE YOUR SKIN’S PH
Skincare treatments also help increase blood circulation. Good blood circulation in the skin helps to kill bacteria and promote cell regrowth which is very important for collagen production.
COLLAGEN: Protein that gives your skin structure, strength, and elasticity. As you age, though your skin naturally begins to produce less collagen, which can lead to wrinkles, sagging, and other signs of aging.

WHY BREAK OUT AFTER A FACIAL
Breaking out after a facial is called “Purging” It’s your skin’s way of getting rid of dirt, debris, and bacteria that’s lingering beneath it. Getting a facial speed up that process. Due to rapid cell turnover, it all comes out beneath your skin after treatment, it won’t last long and should subside a week or two after treatment. “Purging” is especially common after your first facial or when you start using any new products, so if you’re a newbie, it’s not a good idea to get a facial right before you attend any big photo-worthy event. The way to avoid “Purging” is by keeping up with facials and great skin care at home. The more you treat your skin, the less it will get caught in your pores and cause inflammation.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU GET A FACIAL
The frequency of your facials depends on what type of skin issues you’re dealing with. Your cells turnover between 4-6 weeks. It is ideal to get a facial every 30 days, this will align with your skin’s natural cycle.
