Hair and Now

Out with the Old, In with the New
Does your skin feel sluggish and rough? Does it lack a healthy glow? Skin that’s damaged and dry from the summer months needs to be exfoliated. A facial does much more than relax and cleanse; a facial can go deep into the skin and remove impurities. There are many types of facials, depending on the condition that needs to be treated.

The first type of facial is a corrective facial, which removes comedones and corrects excessively oily or overly dry skin. The facial doesn’t cure the problem in one treatment, however. Maximum results take proper home skin care and regular facial appointments. The corrective facial for oily skin involves decongesting the skin by getting rid of the built up oils and extra impurities left by excessive oil. A corrective facial for dry skin involves putting moisture back into the skin to redeem an overall healthy appearance.

If you’re in need of a facial to help prevent wrinkles and give more circulation to your face, a hot stone facial is what you’re looking for. A Japanese Hot Stone is one of the most powerful and relaxing facials on the market. After a very intense massage, heated stones are rubbed over the face and neck, which breaks down collagen and firms up the skin. In four to six weeks, a remarkable difference can be seen in the glow and tone of the skin.

Are you ready to shed that dull summer skin? A maximum strength exfoliate is the answer. The maximum strength exfoliate is designed to remove one layer of skin. The skin will automatically appear smoother and healthier. This service, however, requires that the client isn’t pregnant and has reduced sun exposure for three to five days. This intense facial has all the benefits of Microdermabrasion without the cost.

The benefits that come from regular facials are out of this world. Most clients think facials are a vanity, but if they can save the one thing that isn’t replaceable-your skin-then it’s worth it. A person who receives regular facial treatments will have fewer wrinkles and blemishes and smooth, glowing skin. A facial is a proven way to help fight aging. People with normal skin need a facial every four to six weeks. A person who needs more corrections may need to come more often until the problem is corrected.

Proper skin care in the home is key to helping keep the face healthy between treatments. Wash your face twice a day, and moisturize following each washing. The moisturizer should have an SPF of at least 8 to protect your skin from sun damage. The sun can harm your skin walking outside, driving in the car, and any time you’re exposed to sunlight. Sun damage is what causes skin to age and look sluggish. Remember, just one step can save your skin. TPW
