It is a relatively common thing for people to have done nowadays but how much do we really understand about them? Often, I hear people talking about going for a facial as if they were going for a massage or to the spa. That is, it’s done more to relax and be pampered rather than for its skin care treatment. That is the prime reason for having one but there seems to be a lot of different feelings about them. Whilst some people will feel like their skin looks and feels great for having had a facial, others will say that they see no difference at all whilst others might even have a reaction to it or feel discomfort during the process itself.

So Should You Have Them?

Having a facial is not a compulsory way of treating your skin. You should not just be going to have a facial because you feel like you should because that’s simply not true. Yes, when done well they can have benefits to the skin but you can maintain healthy skin yourself at home. Certain skin types will be more suitable than others and so some people will see more effects than others. If you have very sensitive skin, then you might want to avoid facials entirely as you could actually end up doing damage to your skin.

What Are the Benefits?

So as mentioned before you should be having a facial for the skin treatment effects not to relax. If you are not seeing any visible difference after having had a facial, then you should question whether it is worth doing. If you are receiving a good quality facial then you should be able to see effects such as cleaner skin, spot reduction, hydration of dry skin, blackhead and whitehead removal, wrinkle reduction and smoother skin. You should note that after having had a facial your skin is much more sensitive to sunlight so your beautician should be applying some sort of sun cream too to help protect your face immediately after having had a facial. You should also ask them what products they would recommend you use at home given your skin type. This will help you keep looking your best in between as doing the wrong things will quickly undo the benefits you received.

Understand What They Aren’t

You need to be aware that the term facial gets banded around quite loosely and what one person calls a facial is not necessarily what another person considers one to be. Treatments such skin rejuvenation are quite different and whilst they both focus on the facial skin, they are quite specific. Whilst a facial is looking to make the skin healthier skin rejuvenation treatment is a bit more extensive. This is used to reduce freckles or discolouration and is done so through the use of chosen chemicals on the skin. This sort of treatment can be found at places such as Colour Implants and is chosen by people who wish to make a bigger change to the appearance of their skin rather than just making it cleaner and healthier.
