Why Facials Are Great for Your Skin

Maintaining thebeauty and health of your skin requires good lifelong habits, including a basicdaily care routine. Want help with developing the ideal regimen for your skintype and goals? The best way to have your skin properly assessed and understandyour unique needs is by seeing a reputable, board-certified-dermatologist-ledteam. At Albuquerque’sWestern Dermatology Consultants, the Spa @ WDC involves dermatologists, nurses,licensed aestheticians, and more working together to recommend treatments andproducts in plans custom designed to promote skin health and beauty.

Because it canbe difficult to fully remove dirt, dead skin, and bacteria from your skin on yourown with at-home treatments, facials are one of the most popular skinrejuvenation approaches available at the Spa @ WDC. Our team believes that facials can be an important element of any self-care plan, since they’rebeneficial for both women and men who want to go beyond mild, drugstore cleansersand exfoliation for more complete skin rejuvenation. Facials are especiallyideal for people who want results, but who are not ready for microdermabrasionor injectables.

A standardfacial consists of a series of steps performed by a skin expert. These stepsmay include steam, exfoliation, creams, masks, massages, and other techniquesto open pores, remove debris, and nourish and clean the skin. In addition tocreating a more even tone and complexion, facials can also make your skin lookrefreshed and younger without the need for more dramatic cosmetic therapies. Facialsaddress a variety of concerns, including everything from pimples, blemishes,and blackheads, to dullness and flaky skin.

Another majorbenefit to facials is that they can help you to understand more about your skintype. Your aesthetician will first perform a skin analysis on you to identifyyour skin type, which may be dry, oily, combination, sensitive, or normal. Theanalysis can also reveal any conditions that should be addressed.

Youraesthetician will give you expert advice, recommend products to use at home,and explain how to care for your skin after a facial. Some people prefer tohave a facial on a monthly basis, while others choose it less often. Thetreatments can be customized depending on your specific needs and wants. Forexample, someone in their 20s may want a general “freshening up,” while a  person in their 40s or 50s may want more of arejuvenating effect.
