A facial is a great way to treat your skin. Some of the benefits:

• Helps improve your complexion
• Evens out skin tone
• Removes dead skin
• Has deep cleansing qualities
• Hydrates and/or detoxifies
• Increases circulation and stimulates the skin
• Slows down premature aging
• Prevents wrinkles before they occur
• Minimizes fine lines and wrinkles
• Relaxing and soothing

A facial is ideal for anyone - Women, Men and Teens.

• Don’t wear makeup to your appointment. 
• Don’t shave or wax any treatment areas like brows, face, or lips.
• Remember to tell your aesthetician about any medications you’re taking and any allergies you have. 
• Don’t schedule your appointment too close to a major event. Depending on the type of treatment you get, you could experience redness or peeling for a few days after. Book your appointment about five to seven days before your event.
• Avoid drinking caffeine too close to your appointment time. It can cause facial twitching or make it hard to relax.
• Make sure to stop using chemical exfoliants and potential irritants a week or so before your treatment.

In most cases you should not have a reaction to a facial. It is possible that an allergic reaction may occur if a product is used that contains an ingredient that you may be allergic to. Sometimes you may develop an allergy to an ingredient that you have been using for a while. This happens very rarely. Please inform your aesthetician of all possible allergies you may have so that we can make your experience the best possible.

If you should experience a reaction after a facial, depending on how severe it is, you may want to take an OTC allergy medication to reduce symptoms. It is important to notify your aesthetician as soon as possible if you experience any negative reactions. If necessary, your aesthetician can take a look at your skin and give you further instruction as well as try to identify allergens. It is extremely important that your aesthetician knows about this, so that when you come in for your next facial, those products can be avoided.

Acne can be caused by excess sebum oil and clogged pores and is most common in young adults with increasing hormone levels.  Stress can affect hormones, and this may also play a role in the development of acne.

Since sun damage increases the risk of skin cancer, as well as skin problems ranging from wrinkles to dark spots, wearing sunscreen on a daily basis is essential. Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a minimum sun protection factor (SPF) of 30. 

Wrinkles are a natural result of aging, but you can delay their onset or minimize their appearance. To do so, limit sun exposure, wear sunscreen every day, and use skin products that contain antioxidants, peptides and retinoids to help reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Regular professional facial treatments aid in preventative and corrective care and will help maintain the condition and health of your skin. 

This is one of the most common skin care questions. Many experts advise that you begin using anti-aging products in your 20s and continue to incorporate them as part of your daily skin care routine. This is because collagen production starts to dwindle in our mid to late 20s and early 30s.

Facials are the most effective therapies for deeper cleaning. With the aid of softening agents, facial modalities such as ultrasound, hydro therapy, vacuum and manual extractions follicular debris can be removed to unclog pores during a facial treatment.

It is true! Facials have the benefit of energizing tired skin into performing its functions. The massage and cleaning technique in a facial will cause your skin to target and heal certain areas and unclog congested pores that need to be purged.
