I’ve thought about getting a facial but never have. Why should I stop thinking about it and get it done?

Well first I have to ask… Do you know your skin type?  Do you buy products based on what the bottle says rather then what it can really do for you?  Do you keep purchasing different products because you didn’t receive any results from the others.  Well if yes to any of these you should just go and seeing your esthetician.
Keeping with the basics for this post.  Visiting an esthetician can help you know what your skin type is, what products & ingredients could work best for you.  Commonly many people think they are oily and will use products for oily skin and end up stripping their skin.  Others think they have Rosacea or acne and actually just have redness from stimulation that goes away and causes no issue or just breakouts here and there that do not equate to acne.
Extractions…Black and Whitheads are not that great to look at in the mirror everyday.  They are both bacteria one dead and one thriving and ready to spread to other parts of the face.  If you keep this clean it can change your texture, the appearance of pore size, allow your skin to have a more healthy and hydrated look.  Men tend to have larger pores so this if very important for them. I also find some peoples skin like different types of ingredients.  Maybe their skin absorbs or thrives off of more natural ingredients due to their individual biological makeup or how they feed their bodies.  Skin and nutrition go hand in hand, finding out if what you are or are not eating or supplementing with can also change the health and appearance of your skin.

Ask Your Esthetician/Aesthetician Questions:

Interview your Esthetician:  How to avoid paying for fluff service when you want to see results.

1) What ingredients does your esthetician like or agree with?  Why? Because some estheticians purchase products/brand names and not ingredients all products do not have performance ingredients if you are looking to receive results.  Plus the science in skin care is ever changing.  New developments allow treatments to be more progressive and results driven.  A product line doesn't guarantee results but the ingredients and the formulation may.

2) Receive a tour of the room & or facility.  They don’t need every piece of equipment available on the market, BUT if they tell you, you are receiving a microderm make sure they have a microderm machine.  Just for example.

3)  Year or Hrs of training and/or years as an esthetician.  I feel this may need to be a case by case.  WHY?  So if you have an esthetician with 3years experience but have not had any extra training.  What are their skills & how important is this career to them?  If you have an esthetician with less years experience but more training.  They invested in their skill and knowledge.  If you have an esthetician with many years experience and training well you know this is definitely their passion and they SHOULD do what is necessary to make you look & feel better.

Bottom Line.  Is this a business to them or just a J-O-B!

4) Are they speaking to you & asking questions before your appointment?  Why?  This is important b/c many of the products used are enhanced to provide corrective results.  So we must know how you will react.  If these questions are not asked then either nothing serious is being used or you may find a reaction you didn’t expect.

5) And Not least, but listed last ;).   How comfortable are you with your esthetician.  Not how relaxed, not how convinced, but comfortable & trusting.

**Results can be anti-aging, exfoliation, acne or rosacea soothing, with regular use & treatments can lead to long term effects.  Results do not mean your acne, rosacea, fine lines, texture, etc. will clear up in one treatment.

Hope this information helps you to successed in your quest to find good, quality care.
