How Often should You Have a Professional Facial?
If you want to take the best care of your skin, booking a professional facial at least once a month is ideal.
Giving your skin a boost every 30 days is generally what our skin needs to look its best. This will keep your skin looking youthful and glowing as possible.
A professional facial will stimulate the exfoliation process, removing dull, dead skin cells, enabling your home skincare products to perform to their optimum best.
Many people make the mistake of thinking of professional facials in the same way as they think of expensive treats that they save up to experience for special occasions.
If you change this thought-process and think of your facial treatment as an essential part of your self care, just like going to the hairdressers, your skin will most certainly thank you for it.
A one off facial, performed with the correct, high quality professional products, should leave your skin looking and feeling healthier but won’t deliver long term results overnight.
It’s like taking your skin to the gym so you’ll see the best results if you visit your facial therapist regularly.
Some advanced treatments will achieve the best results after a boost of perhaps 4 once-weekly treatments to achieve optimum results, followed by a monthly treatment to keep your skin looking it’s very best.
Between professional facials, using the best and correct products for your skin age and skin type are very important too. Our skin requirements and skin age can change quickly, depending on many factors, including:
Genetic make up
Hormones
Environment – exposure to pollution, blue light, sugar, UV light, mask wearing and temperature changes.
Sleep patterns
Stress
Diet and lifestyle
General health.
Your therapist will be able to recommend the best home care products and skincare routine for you depending on these factors.
That said, looking after your skin is about more than just the products you use at home, so a regular professional facial will help in other ways too.
Science and research plays a huge part in skincare products today and the powerful active ingredients in advanced professional-only products can help achieve long term results at a deeper level, promoting even greater long term physical results.
If a facial massage is included during your treatment, not only will this enjoyable part of your treatment release those all important stress busting, ‘happy’ hormones, it will also help with muscle toning, improved circulation and lymphatic drainage. This helps to keep cells healthy and reduces facial puffiness and skin dullness.
With the bewildering selection of facial treatments and products available, having a therapist who understands your skin and your individual concerns, means you’ll be advised correctly too.
What better habit could there be than visiting your facial therapist regularly for the benefit of your precious skin?
