Aggressive exfoliation is not recommended during the summer as sunlight and heat can more easily damage the skin. Also too much of good thing can be true of exfoliation. With the more aggressive treatments its usually recommended to wait 4 weeks between treatments. Your skin needs time to heal and regenerate. Even at home exfoliation can be over done. (Once to twice a week is usually sufficient)
Read New Beauty’s Article on Why to Exfoliate your Skin!
Recently I had a client say they didn’t understand the benefit of a 90 minute facial. So I thought I’d take a minute to write why I thought trying out a 90 minute facial is so beneficial.
First off you automatically get more time with Ultrasonic Cleansing. The ultrasonic cleansing part of the facial is one of the most beneficial parts of the facial. Ultrasonic does so many things and really is good for all skin types ranging from acne to anti-aging. Ultrasonic exfoliation provides a gentle exfoliation. It uses a sound frequency to gently lift dead skin and debris from the pores. It can also perform some extractions and is anti-bacterial. I have many clients tell me their skin is very clear weeks after a facial with ultrasonic. The ultrasonic can also stimulate collagen and elastin production and allows products to penetrate deeper into the skin. With my 1 hour facials you usually get just a few minutes of ultrasonic, but with 90 minutes you get between 10 and 15 minutes.
Another benefit is more pamper time! Most of this time is spent on one of my favorite parts of the facial. The facial massage. Facial massage is excellent for detoxifying the skin, moving lymph, de-puffing eyes and increasing circulation. There’s also more time spend on neck and shoulder massage.
And of course if there’s any special skin concern the client has, I get to spend more time on that problem. Such as if a client has need of extra extractions. I have more time to really clean up their pores!
So this is why I’d recommend trying out the 90 minute facial. It really is of benefit to your skin!
