Not having had a facial for at least two decades, I didn't know what to expect from the service. I was surprised to experience a body balancing massage, a hand treatment and aromatherapy in addition to heating pads on the tummy. The treatments to my face were overall gentle, barring the extraction of the blackheads (which is to be expected). My girl, of course, tried to up sell me on additional products which I did partake in. I had a lifting-collagen serum applied to my face for an additional fifteen dollars, which I thought was budget friendly considering I was at a high end, local salon.
The results of my facial are immediately noticeable. My face looks fresher and is more "plump". Although I'm sure it's not permanent, whatever was applied to my face diminished the nasty crease (wrinkle) in my forehead that my husband tells me only I notice. I was pleasantly surprised by and pleased with my facial experience and will schedule more to come in the future. When I asked my esthetician on how often I should get one, I appreciated that she acknowledged that schedules rely on budget first and foremost, and a minimum of 3-4 times a year as the seasons change would be of great benefit.
As I currently use a good facial cleanser, lotion and exfoliant (thank you Aveda), I was not much in the market for new skincare products, however I did purchase a vitamin C serum which I look forward to using. It is a highly recommended product for anti-aging, which is what I wanted to address during my appointment. The vitamin C serum should help prevent the negative effects of the sun, free radicals and wrinkles, but time will tell!
What are you doing for you today?
