Have you ever wondered why some people's skin looks great at any age while others have aged beyond their years? Facials might be the answer.
Aside from nourishing the skin, a professionally administered facial can be a wonderfully relaxing and rejuvenating experience. To enhance your enjoyment of and knowledge about facials, we have prepared this short guide — outlining its benefits and describing what you can expect during your session. Whether this is your first facial, or you receive them regularly, we encourage you to read this material.
EVERYBODY should have a facial at least once a quarter. Deep cleansing, exfoliating and balancing the skin’s Ph are all essential for healthy skin, correcting and preventing problems and premature aging.
When received regularly, facial can result in noticeable improvements to skin tone, texture and appearance. A facial can also restore the skin’s normal balance of oil and pH. Additional, temporary results may include: heightened skin softness and pliancy, increased circulation of blood to the face and an overall soothing of the spirit. An added bonus, most people find receiving a professional facial to be exceptionally relaxing and enjoyable.
Facials may bring impurities, if they exist, to the surface. That’s the only way they will get out!
Got oily, sun-damaged, hyper-pigmented, sensitive, dry, or post operative skin? A facial series is a must for you. It can complement what you are doing with your dermatologist or help your skin recover from the trauma of surgery. Remember, one facial is not a magic bullet. Persistence and good home care is necessary to turn a problem around.
Since Bella Brazil facials are designed to work on your skin from the neck up, you may want to plan on removing your makeup or pulling long hair back. Cosmetics can be reapplied after the service; feel free to bring them with you. Men should be clean shaved unless bearded. Other than these few easy steps, simply be ready to relax and enjoy yourself!
You will be asked to complete a brief, confidential client information card, which will aid the esthetician in determining the appropriate treatment for your skin. After being escorted to the facial room, you will be seated in a facial chair. The esthetician will place a coverlet over you to protect your clothing and ensure your comfort. The treatment will begin with the esthetician cleansing and analyzing your skin. Using the information from your client card and skin analysis, the esthetician will discuss how the facial you have chosen will benefit your individual skin.
Hot towels or steam may be used during your facial, and they can feel quite warm to the touch. Heat helps to open clogged pores, and also make the skin more soft and pliable. If you find the hot towels or steam to be too warm for your personal comfort, please let your esthetician know right away.
Masques are applied after the facial massage has been completed. Your esthetician will choose the correct products for your skin type. The masque is applied and allowed to set for up to 10 minutes and then removed with a warm cloth. After treatment with a masque, the skin should look fresher, brighter and healthier.
The purpose of a facial is to help correct and preserve the health of the skin — it isn’t expected that your skin will be perfect or blemish-free. If you are experiencing problems, we suggest you choose an Acne Treatment Facial, papaya Pell or Glycolic Pell. If your esthetician finds evidence of comedones (blackheads) during your facial, she will gently attempt to remove them using slight pressure from tissue-covered fingertips. If your skin has red eruptions, your esthetician will be able to work on a very mild occurrence. A dermatologist should treat extreme forms of skin eruptions, acne and other skin conditions and diseases. If you have questions about whether or not a facial would be appropriate for you, please consult with your physician.
Stick with one product line for home care! A mixture of drugstore facial care products may be causing problems for your skin. Most can contain drying, pore clogging or irritating ingredients and mixing them will further confuse your skin’s balance. Nourish your skin with home care products that work WITH your regular facials. The right products are all you need for good skin.
Poor diet, lack of exercise, sunscreen and hair products can also affect your skin. Tell your esthetician everything – don’t hold back!
Because if is not the right type of product for your skin, the product will strip out the skin, it’s very important that the ingredients are correct for your skin type. You should “invest” in your skin, rather than “spend” money on useless products. Professional products often cost more, but then they are usually more effective because of a higher concentration of performance ingredients.
Enjoying a monthly facial is an excellent idea, however it is necessary to maintain this caring act at home and to take daily care of skin in order to avoid any skin disorders. Your skin needs twice daily nurturing to keep it clean, moist and protected and it only takes ten minutes a day.
Home care products provide rejuvenation for both women and men and are effective for correcting aging skin, sun damage, uneven pigmentation, acne, or maintaining healthy skin. These products will be chosen especially for your skin type.
They do too! Men’s skin is special. Take care of it with targeted facials and products just for him.
Facials are one of the most relaxing and therapeutic things you can do for your mind, too. Take an hour for yourself and turn off the cell phone.
Your esthetician will indicate that she has finished, and then escort you from the room.
Talk to our professionals! Our estheticians are trained in the science behind skin care to help you put your best face forward.
We recommend regular, monthly facials for optimum skin maintenance and nourishment; twice monthly for specific treatment programs
