It's a fact that skin is the largest organ. On top of it, it is exposed to the outer world experiencing all possible conditions. Is it not enough to answer the question, whether facial is a treatment or a necessity for healthy skin. It is vital to take extra care of your skin for its good health. A periodic facial keeps the skin healthy.

Benefits of Facials:

  1. Facials help in rejuvenation of skin and in removing wear and tear. These are important to keep skin texture young, hydrated and plump.
  2. Elasticity and collagen are built over time.
  3. Other important benefits are improvement of scarring, wrinkles and crinkles and also reduction in hyperpigmentation.

Mechanism of Facials

Dead skin cells make your skin look dull. Besides, they lead to other problems such as blackheads and whiteheads, known as comedones, and blocked pores. This leads to slow down in elasticity and collagen productions.

Steps involved in Facial:

  1. Clean up
  2. Exfoliation to remove congestion and exposure of comedones to extract them easily
  3. Application of therapeutic products for complexion balancing

For beginners, this process is multi-layered. Beginners can go for facial once in every 4 to 6 weeks.

Types of Exfoliation: 

Two broad types of facials are available: Physical and Chemical. Physical facials normally include microdermabrasion. Chemical ones have a peeling agent. The alternate use results in better skin tone with fewer crinkles or wrinkles. It also helps in making pores smaller and tighter. It also lightens age spots.

Different skin types have different problems. An efficient dermatologist would understand your problem and provide appropriate solutions. Facial for a dull skin may differ from that of an acne-prone or clogged pores related skin. Besides, people with sensitive skin or redness on the skin have altogether different struggle and remedy. The use of Clarisonic brush gives an idea about the sensitivity level of the skin. Regular use of this brush results in fewer blackheads and clogged pores as Clarisonic brush has an ability to cleanse skin 11 times more than cleaning with hands.

Facials are one of the apt ways to cleanse and revitalize your skin quickly. They also help in restoring the mind and body. If you have time, you can also go for a home facial, following simple instructions and steps, and with good products available in the market. Use a magnifying mirror to have a view of comedones and extract them. Finish it with a toner, moisturiser and sunscreen.

Remember that healthy skin can make you look beautiful and confident. So, why delay? Consult today!
