Skin health is important and the best way to properly evaluate and treat skin is by getting a professional facial service.
Here’s what happens during a facial:
✔️ the skin is cleansed with a basic cleanser
✔️ I look closely with a magnifying lens at all the surfaces of the skin, looking for any areas of concern, such as redness, flaky skin, pustules or acne, clogged, pores, or congestion, signs of skin stress, or compromised barrier.
✔️ I developed a plan for the facial which consists of treating any areas of concern that I see. I have many products and modalities available during a regular facial that I can use to address this.
✔️ if needed, a second cleanse is done and a swipe with toner to prepare the skin for the treatment.
✔️ I make a choice of which exfoliation the skin wants on that day based on the condition of the skin. Exfoliation is the removal of excess dead skin. This also gives me a chance to see how the skin responds to exfoliation and how sensitive it is.
✔️ a second form of exfoliation might be used if the skin requires it.
✔️ I go through an extract any clogged pores or pustules that I see that needs to be extracted.
✔️ a relaxing and soothing facial massages is then done. I usually use my CBD blue tansy oil as this calms soothes and moisturizes the skin as I massage. I may use other tools such as gua sha or cold globes, or cold mushroom stones to complete the massage.
✔️ an appropriate mask is chosen for the skin based on the condition of the skin when we started. I can treat many different things with different kinds of masks, including dryness, redness, irritation. I also have a mask for tightening and dressing, skin tone.
✔️ while the mask sits on, I perform a luxurious hand and arm massage
✔️ the mask is removed and I finish with finishing products based on what the skin desires.
✔️ after the client is dressed we talk about my findings and I’ll make suggestions to continue treating the skin at home.
