Currently, we are feeling the pinch with questions looming over the financial security and threats of another recession- so should we consider cutting back on treatments such as facial? Before we answer that question lest consider what benefits facials can offer

Deep Cleanse 

No matter how well I cleanse I can almost guarantee it’s never as efficient as a facial. One of the primary benefits of regular facials is deep cleansing and exfoliation, which help remove impurities, dead skin cells, and debris from the skin’s surface. Different facials use different steps and modalities but I love the Aqua3 hydra facial for that deep cleanse, I really notice my pores are less congested and it just looks and feels so much cleaner. 

Texture and Tone

Removing dead skin cells promotes cellular turnover, some facial will do this with mild acids, mechanical exfoliation, or a combination of both. Exfoliation encourages the growth of new, healthy skin cells, resulting in brighter more luminous skin with a smoother softer texture. 

Hydration and Nourishment

Skin like all the other organs in our body needs nutrition and hydration. Unless we give skin what it needs to produce new cells it is unlikely to be a healthy effective skin barrier. Facials are an ideal list to boost both hydration and nutrition. They can be used to introduce hydrating masks, serums, and moisturisers all tailored to your skin’s specific needs. These nourishing ingredients replenish moisture, restore balance, and enhance skin hydration, leaving your complexion plump, supple, and glowing.

Targeted specific Skin Concerns:

The right facial can be a game changer if you have skin issues such as acne, congested skin, hyperpigmentation, or even rosacea. They can be customised to include energy-based devices such as lasers or radio frequency to target your specific skin care goal. Combining regular medical-grade skin care with the right facial for your skincare concern can power charge your skin goal results.  

Support Product Absorption:

By removing dead skin cells and unclogging pores, regular facials can improve the absorption and effectiveness of skincare products. Clean, exfoliated skin allows serums, hydration, and other treatments to penetrate more deeply, maximising their benefits and delivering visible results.

Collagen production

Youthful skin is dense in collagen and elastin fibers, that’s why it looks smooth. As we age we lose collagen and elastin. For skin to retain its youthful plump appearance we need to ensure we actively promote collagen and elastin production. Regular facial can help prevent some of the signs of aging by promoting collagen and elastin production. Regular facials also help promote a healthy skin barrier which can help you maintain a youthful, vibrant complexion for years to come.

They are good for the soul!

In addition to their skincare benefits, facials offer a blissful escape from the stresses of everyday life. The soothing touch of massage and gentle pampering can help reduce tension, promote relaxation, and improve overall well-being.
