Face it -- taking time to take care of you needs to be first on your "to do" list. No better place to start than with our esthetician. After all, you’re going to want radiant skin for the duration.
Why go the facial route?
If you’ve ever had a good one, you know it’s not just for your skin’s benefit. A good facial gives your facial muscles relaxation they don’t often get. You may spend the day with your “parent face” on, which may involve crinkly forehead lines, or your beach squint, which definitely involves crow’s feet. We tense our facial muscles much of the day, and a facial escape gives those stressed out muscles a time to chill and rejuvenate.
This is especially important as you age because of the increasing cell turnover after 30. At that point, skin stops producing collagen and we can start to look droopy. Nobody wants droopy. High end products and facial massage helps lift that droop by bringing the hyaluronic acid back to the surface. We want that. That’s the juice that gives you that natural, youthful plump look.
On board?
Of course you are.
Be your own advocate and tell our esthetician what you want. If you like quiet, tell them before and after talking only. If your skin is sensitive, discuss this before your facial starts, as it may dictate the products our esthetician chooses. If extractions bother you, tell them to focus on massage. You will enjoy their good touch and relaxing environment. Go monthly and work your way up to more advanced treatments once you’ve developed a trust with the process.
Your skin will thank you and show its appreciation by holding on to that youthful glow. And once you take care of beautiful you, you will have so much more energy to take care of all those other items on your list.
