5 Facial Benefits That Help You Look and Feel Amazing in Your Own Skin

Facial, Skin Care

Posted by Jennifer Ngo at August 21st, 2020

Facials are more than just a layer of cream on your face and slices of cucumbers over your eyes. Many people feel that facials are less of a skin treatment and more of a way to relax. While facials are indeed relaxing and amazing for your mental health (ever heard of the benefits of self care? Treat yo’ self!), there are so many other facial benefits that can help your skin look and feel amazing. What are those benefits? Let’s look at some of our favorite facial benefits to learn why facials are so great for your skin, your mind, and your soul.

1. Clear Away Clogs and Blemishes

The pores on our face can easily become clogged with dirt, bacteria, and our natural oils. This can lead to whiteheads, blackheads, acne, oily skin, and other skin imperfections. Facials can treat all of these things! Many facials include exfoliation, cleansing, and extractions to open up your pores, remove blackheads & blemishes, and wash away excess oil, dirt, and other particles on the surface of your skin before they form acne or other blemishes. Houston’s near-constant heat & humidity often means that our oil & sweat glands are constantly active. This is especially true in the summertime when temperatures and humidity levels spike. Summer facials, especially specialized acne facials, are a great way to clear away that excess oil & sweat, leaving your skin feeling cleansed and refreshed.

2. Smoother & More Even Skin

Because facials often include cleansing, extractions, and exfoliation, many people find that their skin looks and feels smoother after a facial service. This is especially true if the facial includes microdermabrasion and/or microcurrent NuFace services. These two services can help tighten skin, reduce fine lines & wrinkles, and reduce hyperpigmentation, age spots, & scarring.

3. Non-Invasive Skin Treatment

Many treatments designed to smooth and tighten skin require injections, surgery, or other invasive treatments. Not facials, though! All you have to do is sit back and relax and your skin is on its way to looking fresh, youthful, tight, and smooth. Certain facial treatments can even mimic the look of fillers & facelifts. We offer state-of-the-art NuFace technology to give your skin plumper and a more lifted appearance without any of the pain or invasiveness of a traditional facelift. The best part? You see results almost instantly.

NuFace & Microdermabrasion sound great… but what is microdermabrasion? What is NuFace, actually?

4. Acne Facials

Almost 60 million people in the United States alone struggle with acne. Not only can acne make skin look red, inflamed, and oily, but it can also be painful physically as well as mentally. One study revealed that people who struggle with acne are more prone to depression. Acne leaves physical scars as well as emotional ones for many. Enter: acne facials! These facials often go beyond the standard cleanse and extractions of a traditional facial service. The Chic Lash acne facial utilizes enzyme activating cleansers with a heavier focus on exfoliation & extractions. We also use an acne masque and give you an upper back and neck massage to promote blood circulation and fluid drainage. Many other facial services can aid with the reduction of acne scarring as well including microdermabrasion and light therapy.

5. Relaxation and Mindfulness

One of the best parts about a facial is the relaxation and mindfulness you feel during the treatment. Self care is so important, so treating yourself to a facial can benefit much more than the appearance of your skin! Allow yourself to be completely in the moment and enjoy the feeling of massage, face masks, calming hot stones, and sink completely into facial bliss. Because facials also help improve the look and feel of your skin, expect to feel a confidence boost as well! If you’re really looking to feel mindful and grounded, consider a reiki facial session. Reiki facials include our signature facial service along with a reiki session. Reiki is an ancient energy practice that works to help the world’s universal energy (called “rei”) flow properly through the mind and body. Reiki benefits range from relaxation to faster healing times to stress relief and more!
