There are various types of facials that our estheticians can offer, and each has its own benefits. To ensure that you choose the right type of facial for yourself, it is essential to ask your esthetician about the different options and what their benefits might be. We all have different types of skin and skin problems. But it’s good to know that there is probably a facial that can help. Facials are designed around targeting problem areas from oily skin to dry, and they even help reduce the look of aging. With so many options out there, it’s no wonder people are always asking, “What types of facials do you offer, and what would benefit me?”   Let’s look at some general options, what they are, what symptoms or problems could find some relief in facials, and why more people are opting to get a facial today.

The Main Reasons for Getting a Facial

People get a facial for many reasons, from getting help with troubled skin to just relaxing. Having a facial provides many benefits. However, some people simply like the relaxation they provide. Either way, we will look at a general overview of the different types of facials and what they have to offer. Here are some of the main types. Keep in mind some facials will cover more than one of these categories.

Acne Facials: These facials aim to calm and heal the skin, reducing inflammation and redness and clearing up breakouts. They are effective at de-puffing skin, making it appear smoother.

Anti-Aging Facials: Anti-aging facials use ingredients like antioxidants and peptides to mitigate signs of aging. These facials suit people with oily or combination skin. Furthermore, anti-aging facials help improve the appearance of wrinkles and age spots by reducing their visibility.

Brightening Facial: These facials use ingredients to lighten and brighten the skin. They are recommended for people with darker skin or darker skin spots. This is because they are more effective than other types of facials for this skin tone. Results of a brightening facial will appear in about four weeks, which makes them a very popular option.

Before deciding on exactly what type of facial you’d like to get, you should first consider your skin type and what results you are looking for. Again, some facials will cover more than one of these categories. However, if you have questions or concerns, you can always ask your esthetician about recommendations.
