Facial Facts: Top 5 Reasons You’ll Love Getting a Facial

Facials can help cleanse, exfoliate, moisturize, and refresh the appearance of your skin while providing time to relax. The five main reasons people enjoy getting facials are:

• Cleansing away oil, makeup, and surface buildup
• Gentle exfoliation for smoother-looking skin
• Moisturizing products selected for your skin type
• Personalized skincare and product recommendations
• A relaxing self-care experience

The specific benefits depend on the facial, products used, and your individual skin needs.

1. Cleansing: Even with a consistent at-home routine, a facial can provide a thorough cleanse and help remove oil, makeup, and surface buildup. The facial you choose can be customized based on your skin type and concerns.

2. Soothing: Day-to-day life is taking a toll on your skin. Environmental agents, whether manmade like smog or natural like pollen, can leave your skin feeling irritated and raw. The right type of facial will leave you feeling clean and comfortable, giving your skin the smooth, soft feeling you love.

3. Smoother-looking skin: Gentle exfoliation removes dead skin cells from the surface and can help skin feel smoother and appear brighter. Moisturizer should be applied afterward to support hydration.

4. Moisturizing: Facial masks, creams, and moisturizers can help hydrate the skin and support a softer, refreshed appearance. The products used should be appropriate for your skin type.

5. Relaxing: Just lie back and relax in dim light and a soft robe. Ahhhh. For the next hour you’re going to be pampered with a facial massage, hand massage, moisturizers, and more as soothing music plays in the background. In the land of chimps and apes, the best you can get is some nit picking and grooming on a tree branch. As spa-going humans, we’ve got it sooooo much better.
