Lie back and relax while we give you 8 reasons why it's good to have regular facials.
If you've never had a facial, you might wonder, "Why pay someone to wash my face?" But facials are way more than just a fancy wash — they’re like a VIP treatment for your skin with a ton of perks. Here are 8 important benefits that facials can do for you.
1. Deep Cleanse Party
Let’s be real, your daily cleanser isn’t cutting it. Facials provide a deep clean that removes dirt, oil, and dead skin cells, which regular washing cannot achieve. Studies show that professional facials can effectively remove impurities from the skin, which may reduce the risk of acne and improve skin health. Exfoliation, a common part of facials, removes the outer layer of dead skin, allowing for deeper cleansing.
2. Extraction Extraction
We know, it sounds scary, but trust us, extractions are your skin’s best friend: say goodbye to blackheads and whiteheads! Regular facials help prevent breakouts and keep your pores clear. Clinical research indicates that extractions can reduce the number of comedones (blackheads and whiteheads), which are common precursors to acne.
3. Hydration Haven
Do you struggle with dry skin? Facials infuse skin with intense hydration, making it plump, supple, and soft. It’s like a drink of water for your face. Different studies (1) (2) show that topical treatments used during facials, such as hyaluronic acid, are proven to enhance skin hydration by retaining moisture in the skin.For bodybuilders, impressing those judges is about more than size. Permanent hair removal accentuates muscle definition and physique, helping bodybuilders impress the judges and stand out on stage. Show them the pump!
4. Glow Up
We hear it everywhere, the need for a ‘glowing’ skin. Glowing skin is typically seen as a sign of health and vitality. Dull or dry skin, on the other hand, can make you feel less than your best. Facials stimulate blood flow, bringing fresh oxygen and nutrients to your skin, resulting in a brighter, more radiant complexion. Massage techniques used in facials have been shown to increase blood circulation to the skin, enhancing its tone and texture. Say hello to the glow!
5. Age Defying
Slow down the clock! Facials help boost collagen production, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Techniques such as microdermabrasion and chemical peels, often part of facials, stimulate collagen production and reduce signs of aging. It’s like hitting the rewind button on your skin.
6. Stress Relief
Need a mini-vacation? Facials offer a moment of pure relaxation. The therapeutic effects of facial massages have been linked to reduced levels of stress and anxiety, promoting overall well-being. So, if you don’t have a budget for the Bahamas, just book a facial ;)
7. Skin Analysis
Facials allow estheticians to analyze your skin's condition and recommend personalized skincare treatments. Professional skin analysis can help identify underlying issues such as dehydration, sensitivity, or early signs of aging, allowing for customized care.
8. Product Penetration
Want to save money on your skincare products? Facials prep your skin by removing dead skin cells, allowing your beauty products to absorb deeper and better, leading to more results with less product. This way, the money spent on a facial is less money spent on products: girl math!
So, there you have it! Regular facials are not just a luxury, but a necessity for healthy, glowing skin. If you want to know more, drop us an email or come by one of our spas in Manhattan, Brooklyn or Queens.
