Skin Care

What are the benefits of facial?

A facial is more than a luxury – it’s hygiene for the skin as well as selfcare. To maintain healthy skin you have to keep it in shape – and the best way to do that is by seeking the help of a skin-care professional who can plan your skin’s workouts, exercise it on a regular basis, guide its nutrition and push it to get the results you desire.

A facial can offer many benefits: facials offer you the opportunity to work with a professional skin care specialist who will analyze your skin, help you improve your complexion and show you how to take proper care of your skin. A facial can give you a deep cleansing, deeper than the cleansing you will get at home.

What happens during a facial?

All facials adhere to a basic formula: cleanse, exfoliate, treat and protect. Your facial will be customized based on your skin condition at the time of your appointment. The treatment portion may be indicative of the facial you select, such as Microcurrent for lifting or LED for brightening, but even these treatments will be customized based on your unique needs.

What type of facial is best for me?

A facial should be customized to your needs, and that’s best decided during the consultation. What works well at one visit may not be appropriate the next time around. For example, skin has a tendency to change every season. Other factors like nutrition, medical conditions and medications, environmental damage, stress, changes in hormonal level (pregnancy, breastfeeding, menopause, birth control peels, physical activity, and fluid intake) have a large impact on the current skin condition. This will be discussed and your treatments will be adjusted based on these factors.

How often should I have a facial?

A facial is recommended every 3-6 weeks; by means of this frequency, your skin can be monitored throughout the seasons and help you maintain a healthy and glowing complexion. However, if you are experiencing unusual stress or hormonal unbalances, your skin can be unpredictable and experience breakouts; in that more frequent visits will be recommended until the problem is under control.

What’s the best way to prolong the results of my facial?

Its recommended being diligent with your home-care program, like cleansing, exfoliating, moisturizing and protecting. This will help your skin function properly and look its absolute best. Carey is passionate about educating clients on the hows and why’s of products and their uses and benefits. It is her belief this will help you understand and adhere to the daily routines which directly yields to the results you desire.

As part of your skincare treatment, Carey may suggest a chemical peel or peel alternative. Peels are an excellent choice for many skin conditions. Peels dissolve away dead skin cells and the encourage the generation of new skin, thus eliminating fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, pigmentation, uneven tone, dryness, acne and a host of other mild skin conditions. Depending on your particular skin concerns and conditions, Carey will select the appropriate peel for you. Peels range from superficial to medium depth and can be combined and layered for addressing specific concerns.
