You've heard about them but what does a facial involve?
A facial includes a double cleansing, professional exfoliation, professional massage, masqueing, toning and moisturizing. And yes, product recommendations for your at-home regimen!
The BASIC STEPS:
- Cleansing (2x)
- Skin Analysis ~ with a skin magnification lamp
- Exfoliation ~ usually while a steam vapor is directed at the face
- Extraction of clogged pores, if it is suitable for your skin type
- Facial massage to stimulate your skin and tone facial muscles
- Masque, tailored to your unique skin type (dry, oily, combination, sensitive, mature etc.)
- Application of toner, a spray mist or with cotton
- ANTIOXIDANT, always
- Moisturizer, Sunscreen, Eye Cream, Lip Balm
- Advice on your current skin-care regimen
Aromatherapy is performed throughout the facial treatment. As well as various body massage. At Innovative Aesthetics, we have a state of the art 9-in-1 machine that also allows me to use electricity and micro-currents to stimulate the skin. I bring my services to a more exciting level by incorporating new techniques and styles to create a better experience for you.
How often should I get a facial?
It varies from person to person. Ideally, have a facial performed every 4 - 6 weeks. Our skin has a cell turnover (regeneration) rate between 28-40 days and as we get older this starts to slow down. Try to have a facial AT LEAST 4 times per year, as the season changes. You may need facials more frequently if you are fighting problematic skin.
