What Do Facials Really Do?

Simply put, facials make you feel good about yourself. They claim to rejuvenate your skin by getting rid of dead skin cells and deep clean pores, improve the texture and appearance of your skin, moisturise your complexion, and tighten your pores thus making skin appear firm, bright and young. Facials can be of many types; those that use natural products, creams made of natural products or chemical ones like microdermabrasion and glycolic peels.

Some Precautions You Must Take When it comes to Facials

• Always ask for a test patch before you go in for any treatment. This way, the treatment is tested on your hand or the side of your face and you can tell at once whether it will suit your face or not. This is particularly important for those who have sensitive skin as otherwise it can cause the skin to flare up instantly.
• If you’re looking for some pampering, go in for a simple facial where they will clean, steam and massage your skin. This might be refreshing but make sure you get it done at a trusted salon or spa.
• Let your therapist know if you suffer from any allergies or are taking a specific kind of medication. You may think nothing of it, but the products used in the facial may cause adverse reactions on your skin.
• Pregnant women should inform the therapist immediately as certain products used in facials are not suitable for them.
