Facials are one of the most popular beauty treatments that people seek to receive, mainly because they are proven to do so much good for a person’s skin, pores and overall complexion. If you are going to get a facial, you probably already have researched the benefits: clearer, softer, smoother, and less wrinkled skin that is better able to recover from sun damage and the impacts of aging. Facials can also scrub away dirt and help clear clogged pores for a more healthy look. However, if you’ve never had a facial before, you may be unsure what to expect. Here’s what you should look forward to from the best facial in Petaluma!

First, during a facial, your esthetician will do his or her best to personalize your experience to the type of skin that you have and the problems that you may be experiencing. For example, a person with oily skin will get a slightly different treatment from someone with dry skin, or aging skin. This will be a consultation between you and your esthetician as they make a plan for your treatment.

Second, although the overall experience is pleasurable, there may be some uncomfortable parts that unfortunately are necessary to make sure that the facial is as effective as possible. For example, when the esthetician deep cleans your pores, you may experience some discomfort; furthermore, you may experience some redness in the day following your facial. However, this is temporary and should disappear soon after the facial is completed!

Third, something many people are surprised to learn is that the process of receiving the facial doesn’t end once you leave your esthetician’s office – instead, you need to maintain your skin properly by using a cleanser and moisturizer, so that the effects of your facial will last. This is especially important if you are treating issues such as acne resulting from oily skin, as waiting until you receive a facial to take care of your skin won’t help these issues. Your esthetician will likely recommend a treatment plan for you.

Finally, you shouldn’t expect to see immediate and dramatic results from the facial if you are receiving one in order to treat a problem, such as damaged skin or acne. The effects take time to become noticeable, so don’t get frustrated if you don’t see a change after your first facial! Keep coming back and over the course of several facials, you will begin to see the way that your skin is changing for the better. Getting regular facials is one of the best ways to see results!
