All about Facials
One of the most relaxing experiences that many people undergo is receiving a facial at Moodie Hair Design and Spa in Ottawa. Facials allow us to relax but they also have a variety of medical benefits. Anyone who enjoys keeping their skin in its best condition should find a regular facial professional who can know your skin and your skin problems; this will allow them to treat you better.
Some facials are meant to target specific skin types and skin problems while others are meant just for relaxation. Which one you will need depends on what you are looking to do: get rid of skin problems? Relax? Look younger?
Many people have sensitive skin. They find that the products that they use to care for their skin at home simply irritate their skin. For some people, the products they use at home do more damage than they do well. There is good news. Hypoallergenic facials can often be used on people with sensitive skin providing you with a way to still get rid of nasty skin problems and relax.
There are so many different types of facials that it would take quite a while for them to be written down, or someone to read a list of them. A skin care professional can look at your skin and listen to your needs to identify which one is right for you. They have experience working with a wide variety of skin types.
When to Get a Facial
It is recommended that anyone who is looking to target skin problems receive a facial at least once a month. This helps prevent your skin from falling too far back into its previous state. While receiving a relaxation or special facial often is good for you, some facials should allow your skin time to recover. Speaking with your skin care professional will allow you to better gauge to what is right for you.
For those who are simply looking to relax and get a relaxation facial treatment, you can typically go as many times as you want. If you start to notice problems such as irritated skin or soreness, you will want to mention it to the skin care professional.
Benefits of Facials
The number one benefit that almost everyone agrees on is the reduction in stress that you experience during a facial. Your typical facial includes massage and products that are intended to relax you and heal your soul. Any professional facial practitioner will provide you with a stress-free environment and respect your boundaries. Facials are meant to be enjoyable. If you find that a skin care practitioner is trying to upsell you or otherwise pressure you to go for a more expensive treatment, find somewhere else to go. This pressure will inject a sense of stress into the treatment.
As well, massage facials increase the amount of circulation in your system and this stimulates your skin cells back into an optimal level of healthiness. An optimal level of healthiness is a quick renewal of the skin and a radiance to the color of your skin.
Blackheads, pimples, puffiness, and other facial problems typically stem from dirty pores. Using a massage and other techniques (depending on the type of facial), a skin care professional will target the lymphatic system and manipulate it into releasing waste and promote detoxification. Unlike at home, skin treatment facials help clean out pores on a much deeper level. This has the benefit of making your at-home treatments more effective. A typical treatment will also include manipulating the skin to remove blackheads and leave your skin smoother and unmarred.
There are many people who fear the signs of aging and receiving a facial will help slow those signs. Facials work to make your skin smoother, more radiant by removing aging spots, relieving dehydrated skin, and reducing fine lines. A professional facial will do more than that. It will make you feel healthier and make your skin feel younger.
Taking the time to get a facial also allows a skin care professional to see your skin and experience it so they can get an idea of the state of your skin. Once they know your skin and how it reacts to various treatments, they can counsel you on what products and at-home treatments you should be using to optimize the look and health of your skin.
Facials are a great way to target skin problems in both men and women and we, at Moodie Hair Design and Spa, offer the best selection of facials in the Ottawa area. The treatments provided by facials can help men look better for their significant other or any potential significant others. Facials being just for women is a misguided stereotype.
