Have you ever wondered why you will be asked to make an appointment for your next facial treatment in a month’s time, right after you have finished one? The above image clearly gives you an answer.
Right after facial treatment
Our skin immediately radiates a healthy glow. We feel thoroughly cleansed, radiant, relaxed and rejuvenated. Our pores are rid of impurities, black heads and white heads. Our skin feels supple, moisturized and hydrated. Best part is our make up stays on so well.
48 – 72 hours
Two to three days later, our skin is still in tip-top condition. Skin is still hydrated and radiant as blood circulation has been boosted.
28 – 48 days
This is the period where we will benefit much from the facial treatment before as cell regeneration kicks in.
4 – 6 weeks
It is time to reschedule our next appointment to remove dead skin cells and impurities.
Importance and Benefits of a Regular Facial
Now that we understand the life cycle of a facial, we should also understand why a monthly facial treatment is important and beneficial to us.
1. Deep cleansing
Besides adopting a daily beauty regime with the right skin care, we are never sure how thoroughly cleansed the skin would be. Through a monthly facial treatment, we can be sure our skin is much deeper cleansed and exfoliated. Our therapist will be able to remove the dead skin cells, built up of oil clogs, toxins and dirt from our daily activities. Deep cleansing will ensure our pores are unclogged, hence, will lead to better absorption of our beauty products. Make up will stay even longer and better
2. Anti-aging
Getting regular facial treatments will reverse signs of aging, slows down the aging process and prevents the appearance of wrinkles. A good facial massage (which should be included in every facial treatment) improves blood circulation and oxygen flow. It will also enhance collagen production and elasticity of the skin. This will indeed lead to a reduction of fine lines and wrinkles. In addition, a good facial massage will also relax and soothe both your skin and your mind. They are relaxing, stress relieving and rejuvenating. Skin looks healthy and glowing as blood circulation is boosted.
3. Repair skin issues
Meeting your therapist for regular facial treatments will assist your therapist to early detect any skin issues. She will be able to assess your skin conditions and rectify immediately if there are any concerns.
4. Me-time
Last but not least, a regular facial at your favourite spa or salon promotes a “me-time”. With our hectic and stressful lifestyle, a regular facial visit will definitely make you feel relaxed, rejuvenated and pampered. It is time to treat yourself right.
