Why facials are important

I cannot stress the importance of facial treatments. Everyone, regardless of your condition, your age, or your lifestyle, should get regular facial treatments. There are many factors that affect the skin that you would never even realize. The things that can cause damage to our skin include: Stress; life styles; sun; enviroment; health; dehydration; vitamin deficiency; not enough nutrition; how much alcohol and caffeine we put into our bodies; hormones; menopause; lack of rest; smoking; medications and drugs; and food (to name a few!). All these things affect our skin and cause all kinds of problems. We all go throughout our day not knowing the effects that every day life has on our skin. Everything we do plays an important role. Going for facial treatments can help minimize the damage that we put our skin through. If you have never gone for a facial treatment, or do not go often, let me explain what it is we do.

Facials: A facial is a relaxing and rewarding way to take care of your skin. Depending on your skin type, we customize a treatment especially for you. First we start with a double cleanse routine, followed by exfoliating your skin. Next, we do extractions if needed followed by a massage on the body and face and a customized masque designed for your skin condition. To end the treatment, we tone and moisturize your face. You leave feeling like a new person. If you have regular facial treatments, stick to certain products and follow proper at home applications, you will see a huge difference in the appearance of your skin.
