Better Facials from Beauty Clinics

There is this cliché that says we only have one body therefore we need to maintain and take good care of it. Likewise we only have one face, a face that is unique and different from other faces so it is or personal duty to take good and extra care of our faces. There are different means by which we can take care of the face, one of them is through facials.

Before, facials are only available from clinics of dermatologists and skin doctors. Nowadays, these skincare services are offered in regular but licensed beauty salons or beauty clinics. So those who are shied off by medical experts can now avail the treatment with the company and hands of friendly therapists.

When you search through the internet, you can read about articles telling about home-made facials. True that you can save money on such home skincare services but when you go for facials from licensed beauty clinics, not only will you be guaranteed of the most suitable treatment for your skin but the therapist can also help assess your skin’s condition and recommend you certain skin care products and tips.

In facial treatments, your face will be cleansed from any impurities not just on the skin surface but on the deeper layers of skin. Your skin will be exfoliated so dead skin cells will effectively be removed to give way to new and younger skin cells. With facial treatments, your skin will also be hydrated and moisturized in order to make it clear and smooth.

Cleansing the face is the first step in facials. Depending on the type of skin you have (which can be oily, dry, normal sensitive, etc.), the esthetician will use sponge or cotton balls and pads to clear the skin surface of any dirt such as dust particles and make up residues.

The skin expert will then assess your skin’s health and condition under a bright light. To really see what your skin condition is and discover some hidden conditions, a special lamp may be used to magnify the skin surface and pores.

After the face has been examined, it will be applied with exfoliating products and then subjected to manual exfoliation to really remove the deep seated dirt that causes pimples and other blemishes. Steam vapor may be applied on the skin using a steam apparatus or a hot towel. Steam is necessary to open up the pores of the skin so dirt will efficiently come out.

After the pores of the face are allowed to open through stream application, extraction will follow. Acne forms such as whiteheads are to be extracted. It may be painful if your pain tolerance is low or if you have ruddy and thin skin. Extractions needs only to be done by an expert to avoid incorrect application that may cause discoloration and broken skin parts.

After extraction the face will be applied with facial products and massaged using proper strokes to stimulate the nerves and facial muscles. Your face will also be applied with facial masks, toners and creams. The prices of facials vary according to the perks and additional services you want. The area where the beauty clinic or spa is will also affect the price of the treatment.
