FACIAL THERAPY INTRODUCTION:

 Ever wondered what exactly a facial does?  Here are the basic steps to every facial and the reasons for them:

 

Step 1: Analyze the skin.  This is done with the aid of a special magnifying lamp or a woods lamp.  Examining the skin gives the therapist the information she needs when choosing products to use during the treatment, that would best benefit your skin.

 

 

 

         

 

Step 2: Remove the dry, dead skin cells that create a barrier to radiant, healthy skin and clogs the pores.  In most cases, gentle ionized steam is applied to activate the products on the skin that dissolve the dead cells and debris clogging the pores.  The steam also keeps the skin moist and hydrated while increasing circulation.  After the skin has been steamed, if sebum is still lodged in the pores in the form of blackheads, manual extractions of the black head may be required. 

 

 

 

 

Step 3: A treatment ampoule/serum is applied to the fresh healthy skin.  A treatment is selected according to your particular skin condition and requirements.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 4:  Face massage to firm and tone the skin and relax the mind. 

 

Step 5:  A specialized treatment mask is applied next and left on the skin between 10 – 20 minutes.  This serves to tighten the pores and firm the skin, or depending on your skin condition may also serve to: purify and heal blemishes; soothe redness; balance oil production; hydrate and moisturize; lift and tone aging skin.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 6:  The skin is toned and a moisturizer applied including an eye cream. 

 

Step 7:  Your skin is now ready for the final treatment - the rejuvalite light therapy. A gentle light glides over the skin to awaken and stimulate the production of collagen – the matrix of the skin – a wonderful beautifying therapy that aids in the skins natural process of strengthening and toning.

Healthy skin is maintained and attained by employing healthy habits and using great skin care products that protect, heal and nourish your skin. 

Today we have come to understand the importance of a holistic lifestyle.  Paying attention to every aspect of our being ensures optimum health.  A day at the gym will not keep your body healthy over time, nor will a single healthy meal keep you healthy over time.  Only regular exercise along with a consistent healthy diet and every area of human potential developed and nurtured to ensure a healthy body and mind, in the future and the present.  It has to become a way of life.  This is the key to healthy skin also.  Not just great product, but a holistic approach to your life, dealing with stress, forming good habits will ensure great looking skin.

Hormones can and will upset the health of our skin as they move in and out of balance - as will stress, poor diet, lack of exercise, not enough water and in-sufficient sleep.   

Understanding how to help your skin stay healthy from the inside out is extremely important. 

However, since our faces are exposed and cannot be protected from the environment the way cloths cover and protect our body – we need to protect the outer surface of the skin with professional facials and good skin care products. 

Having a professional facial at the change of every season, will assist your efforts in striving for and in maintaining healthy, youthful skin. 

Professional facials use products and techniques to help your skin shed dry cells, balance oil production, remove bacteria and heal and nourish the skin.  An extra bonus during a facial is that stress is released and a natural sense of well being surfaces allowing you to look and feel beautiful.
