Facial shall we do it or not?

There seems to be a great deal of debate about facial good or bad for skin, here in this blog we are trying to solve this mystery and find it out by providing you with advantages and disadvantages as our team has done extensive research on the topic.

Advantages of Facial for skin

Cleansing

Facial help to cleanse the pores of your skin at a deeper level. This is very helpful for oily skin. The cleaning of pores help to maintain healthy skin, reduce acne. The facial procedure helps to deep cleanse  the skin, removing toxins caused by pollution, grease and dirt found in your everyday environment. It helps to  reduce an overabundance of sebum, which is a natural substance moisturizes and lubricates the skin. Overproduction of sebum can cause skin problems, including black heads and acne. Cleansing facials open the pores of the skin, remove dead skin and toxins from the face, and clean the surface of the skin through exfoliation that tightens and firms the skin.. Facials decrease waste underneath the skin that can cause puffiness, ruddiness, and fluid accumulation by manipulating the lymphatic system that lies just under the skin. Facials also aids in detoxification.

Increased Circulation for Blood

Facial treatments help to improve and restore circulation to facial skin layers, increasing the flow of oxygen-enriched blood to skin cells. This rush of blood to the skin gives your skin a healthy glow and plumps skin cells with vital nutrients and water, which reduce the appearance of wrinkled and dry skin. Nutrients like blood, vitamins and minerals found in the blood, along with adequate hydration, help develop and maintain new skin cells, essential for a youthful, healthy appearance.

Exfoliation

Facials provide deeper exfoliation than you can achieve at home. Exfoliation smoothes skin, allows for great penetration of products (i.e. moisturizers or serums), unclogs pores, improves skin ability to retain hydration, and evens skin tone to just name a few benefits.

Health benefits

Massaging techniques can be traced back to ancient civilisations of India, China, Egypt, Rome, Greece and Mesopotamia. However, it has evolved over time to offer more benefits.

Face massage comes with an array of exhilarating health benefits as it helps to reduce stress, increase blood circulation and also helps to cure sinusitis and headaches. The lymph nodes present in the chin and jawline areas need stimulation to release lymph fluid that can detoxify the facial area.

Indulging in the luxury of a face massage is a stress-buster and alleviates the mood. A good massage, which ideally lasts up to 20 minutes, can also help strained facial muscles to loosen up and relax, thereby reducing wrinkles. It can help smooth fine lines and promote collagen production, which is the building block of the skin.

Emotional Benefits

Facial treatments feel good, offering soothing relaxation. Facial massage treatments increase circulation and the flow of blood, and they include a variety of creams, aromatherapy and oils that moisturize the skin, smell good, and relieve stress as well as encourage peace of mind and contentment. Facials are not a miracle in an hour but they do give you a fresh start to a healthier and balanced complexion. Regular facials will help you maintain optimal skin health.

Anti-Aging

While there is no way to stop the aging process, a variety of facial treatments may help slow the skin-aging process and offer you more youthful, supple skin. Each can be used to remove dead and damaged skin and increase production of collagen, which is essential for plump and healthy skin cells. Facials slow the ageing process. They allow your skin to feel healthier, smoother, and look more radiant. Facials reduce fine lines, age spots, and relieve dehydrated skin. With these benefits, facials make us feel better about our skin. With the use of exfoliation, massage, and the penetration of nutrients and antioxidants, facials also fight to reverse aging. We will all age, but we can do it more slowly with glowing, firm, and hydrated skin.

Facial Process

“Facials are skincare treatment procedures for the face that involve steam, exfoliation, creams, lotions, facial masks, peels and massages. They cleanse the skin deeply and help fight certain skin problems such as dryness and mild acne.”

Some myths & facts about facials

Myth

• Facials are only for relaxation
• They help eliminate all wrinkles
• Recommended only once a year
• They are pretty painful
• They fix all skin problems

Facts

• They work towards rejuvenating the skin
• By themselves, facials cannot eliminate dynamic lines or wrinkles
• Facials offer the most benefits
• if done every 4-6 weeks
• Thanks to new technology,
• facials are painless
• Facials are a preventive measure but won’t fix all skin problems
• Keeping up with the times

Ask your mother & grandmother what her definition of a facial is and she’d probably describe a number of face packs or masks with ingredients from the kitchen, and the occasional steam, to make the skin glow. However, thanks to the advancement of technology, facials are no longer restricted to just face packs and steams. New treatments are more medical in nature and cannot be found in regular beauty salons as they require high levels of expertise to perform the treatment and operate the equipment. These modern-day facials do, however, manage to balance basic beauty services and clinical cosmetic procedures to give you perfect skin.

How often 

Once per month is also the ideal time frame because our skin cell turnover cycle is 28 days long. So getting a professional facial more than once a month could be irritating to the skin.

While you’d probably love to indulge in frequent facial pampering, you need to allow your skin to recover between treatments. “How often you get facials depends on your skin type. If you have oily, acne-prone, dry or combination skin, a monthly facial is recommended.  However, if a client has specific concerns or issues, they may require frequent treatments.

Also some skin experts have emphasis that the facial should be done not more that once per month. However it depends on the environmental conditions you live in as well as your life style.

Disadvantages of facials

Facials can work wonders when it comes to extracting dirt and bacteria from pores and improving the overall look of your skin. But there are downsides to this spa treatment that may leave your skin looking less than presentable. Consult your doctor or dermatologist before undergoing the treatment to ensure that it fits your skin type, and check out the credentials of the aesthetician who will be performing the procedure. Most side effects do not require treatment, but seek medical attention for severe reactions.

Redness and Irritation

The most common side effects of a facial are redness and blotchy skin from the pressure of exfoliation and extractions. Avoid wearing makeup or using any products on your skin in the day or two following your facial to give your skin time to heal. Avoid scheduling facials within three days of a big event at which you want to look your best.

Breakouts

Post-facial breakouts often result from bacteria that makes its way onto your skin during your facial. Steam machines and improperly sterilized tools can be breeding grounds for such bacteria. To eliminate this risk, request that the technician not use tools during your treatment. Or before the start of your facial, make sure that all tools are taken directly from a sanitizing machine.

Scarring

When aestheticians use their fingers or tools to extract impurities from your pores, there is a risk of damaging the outer layer of your skin. Overly vigorous extractions can cause cuts and bleeding. A technician that is unskilled or improperly trained in extractions can damage your skin to the point of making it susceptible to infection or — in extreme cases — even scarring. To protect yourself and decrease your chance of infection, be sure that your facialist is wearing gloves.

Dryness

Your beautician will likely exfoliate your skin during the process of the facial to bring your freshest layer of skin to the surface. But harsh exfoliation can leave your skin feeling dried out and itchy. Use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer daily to combat dryness. Avoid sun exposure after your facial because UV rays can further exacerbate dry skin.

Conclusion

As the experts suggest, facials are good for the skin as they improve it’s health. Deep cleansing and exfoliation allows for a greater cell turnover, resulting in softer, more even skin that is less prone to breakouts and shows fewer signs of ageing. However, remember to schedule your monthly facials at a hygienic place. If not done properly, they can be detrimental to your skin. So ensure that you’re taking every precaution possible for the best results.
