Facial Treatments: Which Is Which?

By Micheal Burrows

Whether you're in a high-end facial salon or an economical one, the primary question is still there: with the large array of facial treatments offered by salons, which is the good one for you?

A facial treatment, which comes second to massage as the most widely sought spa services, is a deep-cleansing treatment of the face and neck to help tone, exfoliate, and nourish the skin to make it healthy and glowing.

Picking out a proper facial treatment can be a little frustrating particularly for first-timers. The moment you come into a facial salon, you will be wowed with a spa menu that's filled with various facial treatments available. And sure, they all look nice, which makes it still more tough to determine which one is which. Facial treatments may go with special names depending on the salon, but oftentimes, several of them mean the same thing and follow the basics - cleansing, skin analysis, exfoliation, extraction of blackhead and/or whiteheads (although this step is optional), facial massage, mask application, and toner/moisturizer application. Facial treatments vary on their prices, the products used, and the various add-ons that each salon offers to make the facial treatment more personalized and unique.

Then, how to select the right facial treatment?

Although all facial treatments look so promising, no single treatment guarantees the identical results to everybody. What may work for many do not necessarily mean would work for you.

SKIN TYPE. Right before you plunge into that facial bed and surrender your skin's fortune to the hands of the therapist, make sure that you get your skin examined. Prior to any facial treatment, it is extremely important that you take a consultation with a registered and professional aesthetician or facial therapist to talk over your present skin problems, condition, and your daily skin care regimen. You will also learn the type of skin you have - dry, oily, sensitive, normal, and combination. In this way, you can keep yourself from avoidable damage of skin treatment not suited for your skin type. Bear in mind that various skin types need unique care or facial treatment like for instance, an acne-prone skin should not go for facial scrub as it will only cause adverse responses to the skin and tear skin tissue making your skin more bacteria-prone.

SKIN CARE PRODUCTS. Alright, it's never simple to choose what works best when everything is potentially good. A couple of things to consider - your skin demands and skin type.

When going for a facial treatment, make sure that you know what products they're using. For whatever it takes, make time to study the products before they even touch your skin. Do you want to lessen the appearance of fine lines or wrinkle on your face? Do you desire to take years off on your looks? Is your skin dry and requires special hydrating? Are you highly sensitive to particular ingredients? Whatever you pick out, only make sure that they cover what your skin needs and not just for the sake of utilizing a certain product because Hollywood stars use it.

It's always better to apply skin care products that are prepared from natural, pure ingredients than those that are chemically-manufactured. Have some time to research and pick out products that are gentle to the skin.

TREATMENT PRICE. Usually this is the major make-or-break component that aids people determine what facial treatment to pick out. You could always go for a facial treatment that costs you a pretty penny, but, of course, depends on your budget. For one thing, while many facial treatments follow the similar procedures but go by various names, they may deviate in costs subject to the type of products use, the variety of cream or essential oils, the salon/spa itself, and the special add-ons like paraffin eye treatment, facial steam or maybe an extra mask application.
