Hey beauties!
Welcome back to our cosy corner of the internet.
This time we are going to dive into why we need to get regular facials and stop neglecting our skin. When it comes to our bodies, our skin plays a lead role. It’s our largest organ and we have it on full display, we wear it all day every day, it’s your best fashion accessory and so we should be more intentional when it comes to looking after it.
Here are a few little tips on why you should see a skin therapist, get regular facials and how often you should have them.
The Skin care overload: am I using to many products?
Does your bathroom look like a mini department store with all sorts of different products you have been gifted, purchased yourself a few years ago then tossed to the back of the draw, forgetting about it or because you saw everyone raving about it on TikTok? Are you using a bit of this and a bit of that? This could be the problem. You’re playing a guessing game when it comes to your skin, and it could be causing more damage than good. You need clarity and seeing a skin therapist can help you determine a routine that your skin needs, and give you trusted knowledge on the products that are going to help you best transform your skin.
Seasons change and so does your skin!
Hormones caused by puberty, pregnancy, menopauseor or even just seasonal change can be a rollercoaster cause your skin to be constantly changing. What worked for you yesterday might not be what your skin needs today. A skin therapist can help work through these changes and have your skin glowing whatever the season. Having regular facials are going to help keep on top of this changing roller coaster as they happen, meaning you are always going to be getting the best benefits for your skin.
“But It worked for them” – skin is personal, not one-size-fits-all!
Just because your best friend or your favourite Instagram influencer is using a product and glowing doesn’t mean that it’s right for you too, your skin is unique to you, and you may need something completely different. We can be mislead about what influencers are using on their skin, they may be saying they have used this one amazing “fixes all problems” product, but in reality they have been getting facials and using other products as well, that are actually what is making their skin glow and radiate. Then you are left wondering why that product they “loved” so much isn’t working for you, and this is where our skin therapists will keep you on track with your skin regime.
Benefits of regular facials:
Deep cleansing: facials offer a thorough, purifying experience, eliminating impurities, excess oil and dead skin cells from the surface of your skin.
Collagen regeneration: facials stimulate the production of collagen, a vital protein for maintaining the skins elasticity and firmness minimizing signs of ageing.
Cellular regeneration: Facials promote the shedding of dead skin cells encouraging the growth of new healthy skin cells giving your skin a fresh healthy glow. “Out with the old in with the new”!
Optimal hydration: facials incorporate moisturizing elements to keep your skin well hydrated and visibly plump.
Acne prevention: regular facials can contribute to preventing acne breakouts and help with excess oils.
Increased blood circulation: the massage aspect of facials not only helps stress roll away but the increase in blood flow helps oxygenate the skin and bring essential nutrients to where needed. It also helps lymphatic system take away wastes.
Mental calmness: facials can help you relax and calm your mind.
