Why Professional Facials are a MUST!

11th Jul 2016

Regular facials are a must, if you want to maintain healthy skin that looks like a million dollars. It’s like a workout for your skin. You need to do something about it, if you want to keep it in shape.

But, facials are so much more than homemade peels and cucumbers on eyes, meaning, we need a little bit of professional help and knowledge when it comes to taking care of the delicate skin on our face.

Our skin is exposed daily to outside pollutants such as makeup, wind, sun and cold, which leave it filled with dirt, dust and in some cases chemicals. Clogged pores and acne are just some of the symptoms indicating that your skin needs help.

In order to keep your skin looking young and wrinkle-free, you need to take your skin care to the next level. This particular ritual allows your beauty to rise to the surface of the skin by cleaning, feeding and calming your skin until it reaches the perfect balance.

Importance of AHA Facial Treatments

AHA facial treatments are popular because of the effects they have on the skin which can’t be compared to the results achieved by any over-the-counter products. The alpha hydroxy acids or AHAs, are natural substances found in plant extracts as well as products such cheese, yogurt and meat. Sounds peculiar, doesn’t it? But they are used for peels that can completely regenerate your skin.

Glycolic acid is a fruit acid that’s most commonly used for facials, but is frequently replaced by a lactic or citric acid. These peels work by encouraging removal and shedding of old, damaged skin and promoting natural skin rejuvenation, improving circulation and boosting the immune system of the skin. If it’s done frequently, it has the power to retexture the skin over a certain time period and make your skin healthier.

This peel is also known as the lunch time peel, because busy people can easily do it in their lunch break from work. A glycolic acid peel takes about 20 minutes, after which your skin is basically renewed. It’s recommended to individuals whose skin is dry, dull and shows signs of aging. If you notice fine lines appearing, dry spots or brown marks, getting an AHA peel can improve the appearance of all those pesky spots and lines. You’ll see an immediate change, in only 20 minutes.  

No other ingredients in cosmetics are as powerful as AHA’s when it comes to peeling away dead, rough and/or uneven layers of old skin – no matter how advanced the bead or enzyme technology. That is because AHA’s work by dissolving the glue-like lipids holding cells together and can penetrate deep into the skin to loosen these clingy bonds. When dead cells are decreased, there are fewer cracks and fissures that can lead to irritation.

Treating the facial skin with the right products can mean the difference between a dull and dry looking face and a radiant and glowing one. This is why you have to go professional all the way. DIY and home remedies aren’t enough to change the skins elasticity and texture. 

Not to mention the injection of confidence you get when you’re feeling healthy and beautiful. And let’s be honest, you can recreate beauty with high-quality makeup, but beautiful skin comes from an aesthetician!
