Facial Benefits - Start the Year Off Right!

Facial

Posted by Jennifer Ngo at January 13th, 2021

Here we are, a brand new year! 2021 has arrived, and it seems like we could all use some self-care, self-love, and health & lifestyle tips to start this new year off on the right foot! All of the Chic Lash Boutique locations are renowned for eyelash and eyebrow services. However, we wanted to remind clients that CLB is also THE destination for premium facial services in the Greater Houston Area! Yes, facials, that splendid service you probably don’t treat yourself to as much as you should, and we want to remedy that! In this article, we will discuss some of the most desirable facial benefits and how a lovely professional facial experience can make up for tireless hours at home trying out different creams, moisturizers, and magic serums in the hope of attaining beautiful skin.

Save Time and Money

If you take a moment and think about the time you spend daily using serums, toners, face rollers, moisturizers, face masks, oils, and other at-home skincare products, the time adds up! It’s hard to get the perfect looking you desire at home, especially with so many at-home products claiming to work better than the last. Also, think about how much money you have spent over the years on ALL of these skincare products for your face! Gulp! A facial service will replace hours spent on daily routines and cut your skincare maintenance requirements way, way down.

Get a Professional’s Understanding of Your Skin

We live in the age of everyone trying to ‘DIY’ every aspect of their lives. While that is respectable in many ways, in other ways, we’re neglecting helpful treatments and advice that would be impossible to do/learn on our own! When receiving a facial treatment by an artist/professional, it’s not just about the service’s immediate and longer-term benefits. It’s also about the information and advice a skincare professional can provide someone and better help them adjust their skincare routines for better at-home results!

Reduce Stress/Self-Care

For anyone who has had a facial before, they know it’s a soothing and relaxing experience. But, facials have been proven to reduce stress! Studies have shown that facial massages actually activate your sympathetic nervous system, the nervous system that controls the body’s rapid and involuntary responses to stressful/dangerous situations. The problem with humans’ sympathetic nervous system is that we don’t use it as nature intended for fight or flight situations. The system gets activated when we’re stuck in traffic or spill a cup of coffee! This is not great for our skin and our overall health. When someone sits down for a facial, the massaging that happens during the treatments act to calm the sympathetic nervous system, reducing stress and anxiety, thus putting them in a better mood.

Promote Blood Circulation and Reduce the Effects of Aging

One of the best facial benefits is that the service promotes better blood circulation to the face. More blood circulation means more cellular regeneration, in this case, skin cells. Facials also encourage collagen development; collagen is the protein in your body that binds connective tissues, like your skin. The healthier and more abundant collagen is within your skin, the more youthful it looks!

Exfoliation

Exfoliating your skin is one of the top facial benefits. Many products sold for at-home skincare use claim to do this. Still, nothing you can perform at home by yourself can compare to the exfoliating effectiveness of a professional facial. Exfoliation is the process of removing dead skin cells from your face that have piled up over time. Exfoliation can be accomplished in different ways, but most spas/salons/boutiques use chemical peels that deep-cleanse the skin, getting the hard-to-remove dead skin cells from the top and sublayers. Your skin feels so fresh and new after a deep exfoliation! It’s critical only to let trained professionals apply chemicals to your skin to exfoliate it properly. Many at-home exfoliation products can damage your skin, regardless of how easy the box exclaims the process is. Don’t compromise your skin with risky DIY kits/chemicals; leave it to the professionals to observe how your skin reacts to the treatment.
