Getting Facials

A facial helps unclog your pores, exfoliate dead skin cells, hydrate, protect, and tone your skin. This leaves your skin feeling fresh, clean, and younger.

Spa Facial

A great facial, given at a spa, should be relaxing and tailored to meet your specific skin needs. Here are some important tips for getting facials.

• Before ever touching your face, an aesthetician should analyze your skin and ask questions.

• Tell them what skin type you have, such as dry, oily, or a combination. Also, tell them if you have sensitive skin, acne problems, and allergies to certain products or ingredients.

• It is important for the aesthetician to know what products you currently use on your face.

• Ask questions so that you feel comfortable and relaxed.

Homemade Facial

• Start by using a gel or milk cleanser on your face.
• Follow each step by rinsing with a hot towel.
• Avoid foaming cleansers, since they have a tendency to dry out your skin.
• The next step is to exfoliate.
• Deep cleanse by applying a gel or milk cleanser, and then put a towel over your head and hold your face over a steam pot.
• Again, rinse off the cleanser with a hot towel.
• Apply a mask, using one of the many you can buy or make yourself.
• Follow up with an alcohol-free toner.

Home Facial Recipe

If you are getting facials, consider making your own. Here are two facials that are easy and quick.

• Apply a mashed avocado to your face, leaving it on until dry. Rinse off with tepid water. This is great to nourish and soften skin.

• Mashed grapes with a little honey are great for moisturizing. Leave on approximately twenty minutes and rinse with warm water.

Facials are delightful, whether they're given within the privacy of your home or the comfort of a salon!
