Facials for a radiant you!

February 8, 2010


For maintaining a fresh and beautiful appearance, facials help a lot. Through facials you can radiate a fresh and vibrant look throughout the day. You can go in for electrotherapy or hands on treatment procedures when it comes to facial treatments. Both of these have its own advantages and merits.Removal of make up and cleansing is the initial part of a facial. Cleansing comprises of exfoliation which helps to impart a smooth skin tone by getting rid of dead cells on the skin surface. This is followed up with skin massage of the face and neck. Then a facial mask is applied which depends on the skin type of each and every individual. Then comes the toning process followed by the application of face and eye creams.

In the hands on treatments, only the hands and fingers of the beautician are used while giving you a facial. No machines are used. However, a beautician can make use of a steam machine for clearing the skin pores before giving you the facial. In the hands on facial type, special face masks such as clay masks and essential oils may be used. According to your skin type, peel off masks can also be used.

In the case of electrotherapy facials, machines are predominantly used. This treatment involves direct frequency treatments, galvanic treatments or micro current treatments. Different procedures are used in each of these treatment types which can lead to varying results. A tingling feeling on skin may be felt or experienced in this kind of electrotherapy treatments.

You must undertake this treatment only after a thorough consultation with a dermatologist regarding its effects and results on your particular skin type. You should also get the facial done by an expert and not some one who would not be able to deal with complications if at all they arise.

You can also make use of home made facials which are harmless and effective and can be easily prepared at home. Lemon juice, egg yolk and honey are some useful ingredients for getting a soft and supple skin. You can make use of hydrating gel or skin creams in case you have dry skin.
