Choosing the Right Facial

Going to the spa is always a welcome treat after a tough week or even to use as a defense tool in the aging process but which one is right for you? Walking into the spa can be a daunting task when there are towel clad women lounging about getting scrubbed, polished, waxed or buffed. There are certain questions you should think about before making your facial appointment: How do you want your skin to look afterwards, what products do you want on your skin, and how do you want them applied? Do be aware that different spas will name facials differently so it is vital to ask questions to get exactly what you are looking for and what is best for your skin type.
Do you want an anti-aging facial or one that ends in you covered in hot rocks and essential oils as you listen to an Enya CD? Intended to improve the tone and health of your skin, facials should make you feel better about how you look and leave you feeling pampered, relaxed and refreshed Whichever facial you choose, you can expect all facials to include the basics of cleansing, toning and moisturising, achieved via massage, creams, masks, serums, tonics and oils like Olay’s ‘Complete Care’ line. Basically, the difference between facials comes down to what you want for your skin and how much you are willing to spend.
