Facials are great if you can afford them. What is a facial? The basic facial includes cleansing your skin from make up or products you currently have on. Then steaming you skin for at least 10-15 minutes to open up clogged pores and prepping your pores for extraction. Extraction is the process of removing white heads and black’s heads from your pores. The basic facial is usually finished off with a mask. The type of mask used depends on what type of package you bought or what you skin needs at the current moment. There are often special additions you can add to your basic facial like microdermabrasions and photofaicals. The most important part of getting skincare services is having someone that understands your skin and recommends products and services that suitable for your specific skincare needs. Skincare services are not and should not be a one package fits all product.
Are facials good for you? Yes, if you can do them on the regular basis. This is every 2-3weeks. If you can't do them on the monthly basis then, it’s not really worth the investment. If you tend to get facials every now and then, your skin does not reap the full benefits. You may love the relaxation and pampering you esthetician gives you but it will not do much for you skin long-term wise. The problems you had yesterday will still be there tomorrow.
What my esthetician explained to me was, "We can do our best for you, but you have to do your part too!" Expensive skincare procedures can be quick fixes to prevent, control, or reverse problematic skin problems like age spots, wrinkles, uneven skin pigmentation, acne, and acne scarring. What you do at home on the daily basis lays the foundation for good and healthy skin. Your at home skincare follow-up after the facials and expensive skincare services at medical spas are essential in preventing problems from reoccurring plus increasing their benefits.
For good healthy skin there are no quick fixes but maintenance is the key. If you can not afford the expensive facials every month, my best advice is stick to a daily skincare regime. If you do not keep to a regular skincare regime one time expensive splurges for your skin are a waste of money and time.
My Tips for Good Healthy Skin
1. Drink plenty of water.
2. Wash, tone, and moisturize your skin morning and night daily.
3. Must use SPF everyday. Try to use a daily moisturizer that has SPF to cut down on clutter of products used.
4. You should do at home mask at least 2-3 times a week. I would recommend one for deep cleansing and one for hydration. Your third mask can be specific problems you want to focus on like whitening.
5. For the super lazy if you can only squeeze time to use a mask once a week, I recommend a sheet mask. (Hydration is best.)
6. Always remove all make up when you sleep.
