All facials are pampering…but don’t mistake all facials for just fluff! I discovered most ladies are not keen because they feel its a waste of time which is the secret to a young radiant feel on the face. A
professional facial can actually change your skin and reduce acne,
reduce wrinkles and slow down the aging process giving you a gorgeous,
healthy glow.
Here, am giving you some steps that you need to take on a daily basis to
maintain the health of our skin including staying hydrated and getting adequate sleep. And if you take these steps along with maintenance professional
facials aging can be very graceful! Facials will encourage hydration, exfoliate dead skin,
decrease impurities and even skin tone and texture. Below are five
essential steps to a facial:
Cleanse: This comes first with any brand of facial cleanser/ face wash which depend on your skin type, you will prep your skin with a double cleanse
to create a clean canvas.

Exfoliate: Next, steam will be used to open up the
pores (A little amount of hot water and a socked wash cloth/towel will do).A treatment is then applied to the skin that will exfoliate,
release congestion and clarify and brighten the skin. This may be an
Enzyme treatment, Vitamin C or a Glycolic Acid, depending on your skin
type.Acids help aid in exfoliation…which is key to glowing
skin.Exfoliating the top layer of skin helps to reveal younger skin, as
new skin cells are created in the dermis.treatment for you to
stimulate collagen and slough off the top layer of the skin.This
treatment blasts tiny crystals onto your skin to exfoliate, reduce fine
lines and lighten skin discolorations.

Massage: Then, you give yourself a heavenly
facial massage and / or acupressure which stimulates your skin,
encouraging blood flow and lymphatic drainage. This is the point you pamper yourself without spending a fortune but for your Professional Pampering contact me *winks*
Mask: A mask is applied to the skin which will stay
on for approximately 10 minutes. Depending on your skin type, your
aesthetician will choose from a hydrating mask, clay based
pore-minimizing and tightening mask, or a soothing mask to reduce
redness.During this time, make sure you wrap your hands in
paraffin and massage your face and neck without getting to the sensitive areas such as eye socket to prevent quick ageing, eye bag and wrinkles.
