Many of us self-proclaimed beauty gurus think we’ve got the skin thing down – cleanse, exfoliate, moisturize – but if we are to be completely honest, we’ll admit that our at-home regimens simply can’t get us the flawless skin we so desperately crave. That’s where the experts come in. While it’s highly important to maintain a regular skincare routine in the comfort of your bathroom, we all need a little professional help from time to time. Read on as we share 5 Reasons You Should Get a Facial…ASAP!
1. Skin Analysis
Facials allow your esthetician to get up close and personal with your skin. Most of us go through ups and downs with our skin due to weather changes, hormones, allergies, etc., so getting a professional analysis is a game changer. You can adopt what you learn during your facial to your everyday care, and eventually walk away with an overall better quality of skin.
2. Product Recommendations
Since you’ll be receiving personalized skin analysis, this is the perfect time to discover which products (or ingredients) will have the greatest impact on your skin based on its current state. If your esthetician is worth her salt, she should be able to recommend products that will work for YOUR skin.
3. Clear Pores
Estheticians use methods such as gentle steam, warm towels and extraction tools, to open and clean pores in a way that can be bit difficult to replicate at home. We’re not saying the money you spent on pore strips wasn’t worth it, but nothing beats a professional’s touch. Sit back, relax, and watch your blackheads and clogged pores disappear.
4. Instant Glow
During a facial, the specialist will rub the skin in circular motions, which not only ensures a thorough clean, but also helps to increase blood flow. Once the circulation is kicked into high gear, nutrients will be brought into the skin, sparking an inner glow and youthful radiance.
5. You Deserve It
You work hard — so, it’s important to remember to pamper yourself from time to time. During your facial, put away your phone, close your eyes, and take the hour or so to relax and recharge. It will do your face and body a world of good.
