Having a consistent daily skin care routine is essential for maintaining fresh skin, but every now and then, its best to leave it to the professionals and get a facial treatment at a spa. More precisely, you should get one every six weeks or once a month.A facial is a multi-step, multi-purpose skin treatment including steam, face masks, exfoliation, cleansing, a massage and a variety of creams and serums. There are many types of facial treatments, and choosing the one you need depends on your skin type and condition. Some focus on moisturizing, others are firming and restoring, while some focus on problem areas. No matter the type, all facials have some amazing benefits for your skin:

Every step in the facial treatment leads to skin rejuvenation, or in other words — a fresh, renewed face. This improves the appearance, giving it a healthy, radiant glow and smoother complexion. It may not be noticed instantly, but over time, your skin will become beyond preserved and restored! So keep in mind that staying loyal and consistent with your facials aside from a good self care routine will pay off in the long run. We all know massages are top choice for relaxing, relieving stress and resetting the mind. Just like your body, your face muscles need a massage and decent facial treatments should include one. Proper massage techniques boost circulation, stimulating the lymphatic vessels and detoxifying the skin, giving it the well rested glow it deserves. (Falling asleep during this portion of the facial is a sign that your esthetician knows and loves what they do.) I always say its never too early to take care of your skin, the anti aging benefits of facials are delivered through not only the steam & massage portion, but adding in different anti age serums and moisturizers oxygenate the pores and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Whats not to love about looking younger for longer? Removing your own blackheads seems like a struggle because its something you should let your skin therapist handle. Lay back and enjoy a better, deeper cleanse than the 20 minute sloppy routine you do at home — a cleansing facial will help you get rid of oil buildup, toxins and dirt from daily environmental factors, . A good exfoliation like microdermabrasion will remove layers of dead skin cells from the surface of your skin and unclog whiteheads , allowing the absorption of power products. This will also make your skin super supple while also making your makeup blend easier and look better.

Ultimately, a monthly face treatment is something you need and deserve. You take care of so many things around you, why not make it a habit take the time to slow down and put your best face forward?
