You’d Be Surprised at all the Ways a Facial can Help Your Health
If you’ve never gotten a facial, it’s time to try this self-care treat. Facials have skin, wellness and other benefits, and there’s nothing more relaxing.
Facial Skin benefits
A facial treatment removes dirt, oil and impurities regular washing can’t reach. Dead skin is also removed, promoting a brighter and smoother complexion. Hydration is part of the process, so your skin gets moisturized and nourished to improve its elasticity and texture.
Facials also stimulate collagen production to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. The process helps remove toxins that cause dullness and skin pore congestion as well.
Treating yourself to a facial can reduce hyperpigmentation, dark spots and redness.
If you have acne, regular facials can help reduce breakouts by unclogging pores and controlling oil production.
Facial Wellness benefits
A facial is a great stress reliever. The massage and aromatherapy aspects promote relaxation and reduce tension.
Lymphatic drainage is included, which helps remove toxins and reduce puffiness.
The esthetician who performs your facial can assess your skin type and recommend helpful products for a more effective skin care regimen.
The facial process
When you make an appointment for an affordable Cincinnati facial at Everglow Medical Spa, you can expect a relaxing and rejuvenating experience. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of what typically happens during a facial treatment:
1. Consultation
- Your esthetician will assess your skin type, concerns and goals.
- They may ask about your skincare routine, allergies or any specific skin conditions.
2. Cleansing
- Your face will be gently cleansed to remove makeup, dirt and oil.
- A warm towel or steam may be used to open up your pores. (This feels divine!)
3. Exfoliation
- A scrub, enzyme mask or chemical exfoliant will be applied to remove dead skin cells and promote a brighter complexion.
4. Extractions (Optional)
- If you have blackheads or clogged pores, your esthetician may perform extractions to remove them.
- This can cause mild discomfort but helps clear congestion.
5. Massage
- A facial massage may be done to improve circulation, relax facial muscles and promote lymphatic drainage.
6. Mask Application
- A customized mask will be applied based on your skin type (for hydrating, purifying, brightening, etc.).
- You’ll usually relax for about 10–15 minutes while the mask works.
7. Serum, Moisturizer & SPF
- The esthetician will apply serums, moisturizers and sunscreen to protect and nourish your skin.
8. Aftercare Advice
- You’ll receive recommendations on skincare products and tips for maintaining your results.
After your facial
There are three things you want to do after investing in your skin with a facial:
- Avoid heavy makeup or harsh products for at least 24 hours.
- Stay hydrated to keep your skin glowing.
- Use SPF to protect your refreshed skin from sun damage.
How often is a facial recommended?
A facial improves circulation in your face, provides a deep cleaning, has anti-aging benefits and provides a relaxing hour or more away from your everyday cares.
Regular facials (every 4-6 weeks) can help maintain the benefits and keep your skin looking its best.
