Many of us believe that a professional facial is considered a treat, but for a cost of between £30 and £40 pounds for an express facial once a month can without a doubt be a great investment.
There are many different reasons for a facial
* Anti ageing
* Deep Cleansing to successfully remove dirt and oil and other day-to-day impurities
* A good exfoliation
* Aids relaxation (Always make time for yourself)
* Improves lymph and blood flow
* Removes toxins
* Skin analysis
Your skin can be affected by all aspects of your lifestyle, work, diet, the sun, environmental factors, hormones, exercise, allergies, make up application, alcohol consumption and smoking.
A trained experienced therapist will access your skin and then produce a tailor made facial using the most beneficial products for your skin type. After your treatment your therapist will recommend products to take away with you, Even though the effects of a good facial will be noticeable, for long term results it would be advisable to continue using the products for at least 30 days after at home.
A strict home beauty regime is essential. The routine below should be performed twice a day, morning and evening.
Step 1. A full cleanse (be sure to remove all make up deposits as eye make up can cause irritation) Massage cleanser in to hands, apply to face neck and decolletage using your finger tips in small circular motions working upwards and never pulling the skin down. Remove with water.
Step 2. Exfoliate, only to be performed once a day 2 – 3 times a week. Apply using the same method as your cleanser and again remove with water. This will soften fine lines and wrinkles, removes dead skin cells and any dirt left on the face, will improve circulation and most importantly aids absorption of products in to the skin.
Step 3. Tone. Apply toner to 2 cotton wool pads always working upwards. This will remove any remaining dirt and excess oils, balances the skins ph levels and closes pores.
Step 4. This point in your routine we would advise you would apply any oils that may have been recommended to you by your therapist.
Step 5. Moisturise. Whether your skin type is classed as oily, dry, sensitive or normal everyone should moisturise. It evens out complexion (which provides a great base for make up). Replenishes lost nutrients, offers a layer of protection for the skin (and pores) against daily elements. Rehydrates skin helping to keep the skin supple and improve the appearance of youth.
