Getting facials is not only rejuvenating and relaxing to your face but de-stressing for the mind. Facial treatments can help you focus on your breathing, all the while boosting your confidence by providing you with beautiful, healthy skin. Don’t expect all your whiteheads or blackheads to disappear after just one session, though. Having too many extractions at a time can be very traumatic to the skin, so it is important to split your facials into different sessions. Below are undisputed benefits of getting regular facials:
Stress Relief
Getting facial treatments or massages can help in stimulating the nervous system by stirring up certain pressure points. Doing this regularly can significantly reduce anxiety and uplift your mood.
Increased Circulation
Facials encourage the formation of new skin cells by increasing blood flow beneath the skin, which then decreases fluid build-up or puffiness that comes from the lymphatic system. Proper circulation is important, because it is responsible for bringing protein, nutrition, and oxygen to the skin while removing toxins.
Deep Cleansing
Although we’d like to think that our daily skin cleaners are penetrating deep into our pores, there is a limit to their strength. Getting regular facials to help to remove the accumulated oil and dirt that everyday cleansers can not. Most, if not all, bacteria derived from the oil or dirt are also dislodged, leaving you with clean, healthy glowing skin.
Exfoliates Your Skin
Scrubbing is a crucial part of facial treatment that helps you to remove dead skin cells and jump-start the formation of healthy new ones. A professional exfoliation normally entails getting microdermabrasion, micro needling or using a fruit acid peel to remove dead skin cells.
Offers Hydration
Water hydrates our skin and body. “Hydrate and Protect”, this is the mantra of all aestheticians out there. Even if you are soaking up enough water internally, the skin of your face can still dry out from wind exposure, the weather, or the sun. Most people wash their face using hot water, which ultimately damages the skin by depriving it of moisture. You can never over moisturise, yet the majority of people don’t hydrate enough.
Eliminate Under-Eye Bags Or Dark Circles
The skin under the eyes is very sensitive so it is important that you take care of this part of the skin through frequent facials and massages.
Anti-Ageing
By increasing the blood circulation in your face, the increased cell formation rate helps to decelerate the ageing process. A facial massage helps to trigger collagen production and strengthen facial muscles, minimising the presence of wrinkles and fine lines, and giving you softer, smoother skin. (The protein collagen is naturally produced by the body, but unfortunately, its rate of formation starts to decline around age 25). This can be further enhanced by the use of hyaluronic acid fillers which help to restore lost collagen and rejuvenate facial expression lines helping you to look more youthful.
Treating Acne And Acne scars
Doctors suggest that getting regular facials is great for removing acne marks and reducing scars.
Eliminates Whiteheads And Blackheads
If your skin is suffering from whiteheads or blackheads which clog up the skin’s pores, getting regular facial treatments can be very effective in getting rid of them.
Opens Up All The Pores
Exposure to most pollutants can clog your pores, thereby rendering them unable to breathe. Having facials opens up these skin pores and helps in treating skin issues such as hyperpigmentation.
Regular Detoxification
Regular facials can help in ridding the skin of waste accumulated over the course of days and weeks.
Conclusion:
Similar to your teeth, your skin requires the occasional cleansing and evaluation from professionals to keep up a healthy complexion. People frequently ask how often they should schedule facial treatments. The answer to this question is every 4-6 weeks. If you can’t remember the last time you got a facial treatment, now is the time.
