Facials are the second most popular beauty salon treatments after massages and they are enjoyed by thousands of people in the UK every year. There are a variety of different types of facials that can be performed all of which aim to give you clear and hydrated skin at the end. The type of facial that you will receive will usually depend on the type of skin that you have and this will be discussed with you beforehand with your beauty therapist. What does a Facial Entail? If you have decided to have a facial as part of your beauty salon treatments the first step will involve a complete cleanse. This is usually done with cotton wool pads or balls and the product used on them will depend on your skin type: dry, oily, sensitive, normal etc. The cleanse will open your pores and clean your skin, both of which will help to prevent acne and prepare your face for the treatment. After protecting your eyes, your beauty therapist will then shine your face with a light and look for imperfections such as black and whiteheads and other facial discrepancies. Depending on the extent of imperfections, you may receive a steam treatment to open your pores up further. If necessary, the imperfections will then be removed. Finally your skin will be exfoliated using either a chemical or a mechanical exfoliator. A face mask will then be applied (again the type you are given will depend on your skin type) and a moisturiser will then be applied in order to moisturise and rehydrate your face. How Often Should I Have a Facial? How often you have beauty salon treatments will depend on your skin type as every individual’s skin takes different lengths of time to regenerate. Most people are recommended to have a facial every four to six weeks in order to keep their face healthy and hydrated. Following a facial you will notice a drastic improvement in the overall appearance of the skin of the face and you will also feel much better from an emotional standpoint too. Beauty salon treatments really can do you the world of good.
