Anti-Aging Facials and what they do for your Skin

From redness to dry skin, many people struggle ahead to keep their skin looking and feeling great. The good news is that professional facials can help to improve your skin.

But finding the right facial that works for you and your skin type can be a challenging endeavor. To help, here are types of facials and what they can do for your skin

Anti-Aging

Very similar to a standard facial, an anti-aging facial utilizes active ingredients and procedures to attack the signs of aging which are present on mature skin – think ages 30 and up. Typically, these facials consist of cleansing, exfoliation or skin resurfacing (often as microdermabrasion treatments), masks, deep-pore cleansing with extractions, and hydration elements. They may also incorporate antioxidant-heavy serums and ingredients like collagen to help revitalize the skin. But be sure to give your skin time to heal after this one as it can lead to flaking and peeling depending on the strength of the various elements.

 

Brightening

If you have ashy, sun damaged, or dull skin a brightening facial can help. Specifically targeting hyperpigmentation, and evens out your complexion using powerful antioxidants such as Vitamin C. The process typically involves a combination of masks, enzyme peels, and acid treatments to remove the build-up of dead skin cells. The result is radiant and glowing skin.

 

 LED

Also known as Color Light Therapy, a LED (light-emitting diode) facial harnesses specific wavelengths of light to address breakouts and inflammation making it the perfect facial for acne. In addition, the pain-free technique has been shown to help stimulate cell growth, improve overall complexion, reduce redness, minimize the appearance of sunspots or fine lines, and smooth wrinkles [2]. According to Kelly, “they are noninvasive, have no harmful side effects, and no downtime.”
