What Is A Professional Facial? And why do we need to get them?

A facial is a multi-step treatment completed by a professionally trained therapist, that boosts your at-home skin care.

We asked dermal clinician and head founder of Sole Revival why we should be making regular professional facials a priority. She says:

“A good facial delivered by a professional who understands the skin and how it operates can identify where your problem areas are and how best to rectify those. You need to be looking at the skin tone, it’s elasticity, pores, and it’s barrier strength. Using professional products to rectify any damage can be done in a non invasive and controlled manner. It’s all about creating the ideal programme for your unique skin concerns. It can be an anti-aging treatment, a skin problem, such as pigmentation, rosacea or acne. The aim in your session is to address the individual concerns, and create a treatment that will use the correct professional products that are designed to treat them. The skill is in knowing what the issue is, what is causing it and how best to correct it.

Here at Sole Revival you can have the option of booking in a time, rather than a specific treatment and In that time you will receive the treatments that are suited to your skin goals. 

Why Do I Need A Facial?

A facial is the best way to ensure you see the long term results you want in your skin. Jules says: “ facials covers a variety of different techniques and treatments which includes caring for the overall health of the skin.”  Think of facials like visits with your dentist. Sure, you brush and floss daily, but you still get your teeth professionally cleaned. In the same way, regular professional facial treatments are an essential complement to your daily skin care routine. Professional facials take your complexion to the next level. Many skin conditions need regular maintenance and it is this professional skin treatment alongside the home care that will successfully deliver results quicker, better and safer.  Prevention is a lot easier and less expensive than repairing damage. If you put yourself in the hands of a good therapist they will guide you and advise you on the best treatments, the correct products and how to use them. They can see what is happening with your skin and they know when you need to be changing things and addressing issues, before they become problems.

Get An Expert Opinion

it’s reassuring to get professional advice on a regular basis. For example, is your skin really dry - or is it actually a build up of dead skin or is it dehydrated? It can be tricky to sort out what you are dealing with, but this is exactly what a good skin therapist has been trained to deal with. During consultation, your therapist will be able to diagnose your skin and develop treatments specifically catered to you.

Relax And Unwind

Let’s be honest. One of the best reasons for getting a facial is also the relaxation you get to experience. And since stress always plays a factor on the condition of your skin, by creating a relaxing environment for you, your treatment will leave you glowing from the inside out.

What Is The Difference Between A Professional And A Diy Facial?

Why can’t I Diy this experience? Light some candles, take extra time applying my favorite Sole Revival products, how is it really that different? Actually, there are many techniques in a facial that go far beyond cleansing. Incorporating facial massage, with specialised treatments and products are just some of the benefits of a professional facial.
