Facials are blissful experiences. For nearly an hour, you get to sit in a comfy chair while a professional esthetician cleanses, massages and moisturizes your face. Only the best products are used, such as fruit-infused creams and lotions that soothe and balance the skin. The end result is soft, rejuvenated skin. But aside from the heavenly experience, are facials really worth the cost?
Let’s examine some of the reason why facials are totally worth every penny.
Professional Touch
The human touch is extremely rewarding, so there’s nothing like having your face massaged by another person. And that person just happens to be a professional esthetician who has the right tools, techniques and products. They take the time to properly massage the face in ways that tones the muscles and improves circulation.
Clean, Polished Skin
Attacking a pimple on your own can often lead to skin irritation and redness. That’s because your fingers carry bacteria. Having a facial done is more precise and less traumatic on the skin, and it can unclog pores that are loaded with bacteria. This reduces inflammation and redness. Plus, if your facial includes an exfoliating mask, any damage your skin has suffered may be reversed.
Recommended Products
If your esthetician recommends an abundance of products, beware. Less is more. It’s actually very easy to get on a good skin care regimen once you have a facial, and you don’t need tons of products to do it. Your esthetician should be able to recommend the right products, however. And since many are similar, it’s easy to find one that fits in your budget.
Relaxing, Distraction-Free Day
When you schedule an appointment for a facial, you’re taking steps to improve your mental and emotional health, too. That’s because spas are designed for classic R&R. The setting is calm, there’s no media to distract you and the scents and sounds are out of this world. A facial calms the nerves and gives you a break from the stress you may have in your life, which you can’t put a price tag on.
Your face is an important investment. Healthy skin will make you feel better and look better, which is important for your overall self confidence. It’s also nice to give yourself some attention for a change. To check out the various facials offered by Berlet Plastic Surgery, view our spa menu.
