What are the benefits of getting a professional facial from a skincare expert?
If you're seeking clearer and healthier skin, recieving a facial and getting expert advice can make a dramatic difference to your skin. Here are my reasons why:
1. Skin Consultation
When browsing online or in a department store it can be difficult to know what products suit your skin needs, especially if you're unsure of what your skintype is. That is why I believe one of the most valuable components of a facial is the skin consultation.
Before your treatment begins your therapist will discuss with you your lifestyle, current routine and any skin concerns that you may have. Once they have cleansed the skin they are able to asses your skin type through looking at the apperance of the skin and feeling it's texture. This will help with the selection of products to allow them to create a personalised treatment that caters to your skins needs. They are also able to create a customised homecare routine to help you achieve the best results.
2. Prevention
If you're already happy with your skin, why get a facial?
The honest truth is that getting regular facial's can help to prevent future skin concerns that may appear- from the first signs of aging, dehydration and breakouts. Recieving a monthly facial can help you to maintain healthy skin, as it's always better to prevent rather than have to fix.
3. Exfoliation
Your skin needs to get rid of the waste that it accumulates on a regular basis, but when this is not done correctly it can lead to breakouts. That's why a skin detox is necessary. Exfoliation is a crucual part of the facial as it removes the top layer of dead skin cells which allows for a deeper penetration of the moisturising products. Exfoliation increases your skin's ability to absorb oils, serums and moisturiser effictively and leaves your skin feeling smooth and soft.
4. Increase Circulation
There is no doubt that when blood circulation slows, the skin's health is impaired. Aging leads to slow circulation which inevitably results in dull, tired looking skin. One important benefit of a facial is massage to the face. This process helps to increase blood flow bringing nutrients to the skin and it will encourage a youthful radiance and glow to the surface of the skin.
5. Relaxation
Aside from the various skin benefits facials offer, they are also extremly relaxing and provide an immediate stress release. Facials can include neck and shoulder, head and hand massages which allow you to feel ultimately pampered. The room has dim lighting, soft music and a warm bed, creating the ideal environment to completely unwind. An hour of relaxation is definetly something we all need after this stressful time and facial's have always been my go-to.
I hope you enjoyed this post about the benefit's of a professional facial. Performing facials as a Beauty Therapist is a pleasure, and that's why it's one of my favourite treatments to do. I love seeing the results that can be seen after just one treatment and working along side my client to create a bespoke skincare routine with our Elemis products. If you would like to try one of our Facial's or you think that you're in need of a pamper yourself, visit our webite www.simpsonsbeauty.com and get booked in ready for when we reopen.
