What
are the benefits of having a facial? How is it different from a do-it-yourself
or home-made facial?
People who have facial done on a regular basis usually have soft, radiant and
elastic skin, giving them a youthful look five to ten years less their actual
age. Do-it-yourself or home-made facial often follows basic and simple procedures,
which might not be tailored to the person's skin type and needs. An esthetician
assesses the customer's skin condition, then use appropriate treatment and techniques
to maximize the benefits of a facial.
How often should I get a facial?
Having
a facial done once per month is recommended for people with normal skin type and
little skin problems such as acne and wrinkles. Having a facial done once every
2-3 weeks will help to nourish and monitor the skin, thus keeping it at the best
condition as possible.
Is
it okay to have facial when I have acne? Do you have specific treatment to help
me?
Yes! Our Acne Facial treatment is customized for oily skin.
It is targeted to clear the clogged pores, reduce inflammation and soothe the
skin. Most importantly the treatment deeply cleanses the face, allowing it to
heal and preventing potential breakouts.
I
have facial done regularly for a period of time. If I temporarily do not have
it done, is it harmful for my skin?
No. However, due to the lack
of deep cleansing and nourishment, the pores might be more likely to accumulate
dirt or make-up remains. As such, the face might not have a radiant look and natural
glow.
Is facial treatment primarily for the young people? How
can a middle-aged person benefit from facials?
No, people under
the age of 30 frequently visit estheticians to treat problematic skin such as
acne or seek regular skin care maintenance service. Due to stress from work or
daily life and body changes such as the slowing of metabolism, the middle-aged
group is more prone to have dehydrated skin and wrinkles. A facial treatment relaxes
the skin, body and mind. It also hydrates, tones and nourishes the skin, giving
it an ageless look.
