Re: Facials
Everyone should get a facial at least once a month. Professional salons (high class), offer products that you cannot buy at home, and estheticians know facial manipulations and cleansing manipulations that will tone and tighten your skin, reduce wrinkles and lines, and help your skin accept the products that they use. Whenever I give a facial I mix my products according the specific clients needs. Sorry girls, you will never find the products I use in any store. They must be handled by professionals who know how these products work.
If you have super sensitive skin, go to an Aveda salon. Their sensitive line is 100% hypoallergenic and you will NOT have a reaction to it.
You can't do the same thing at home that you would get in a spa. Estheticians spend a lot of time learning and researching skin care, that's why they are certified. Unless you're a dermatologist, you won't know half the stuff we do about skin, and thus how to treat it accordingly.
As for the exfoliant advice, yes, you definitely need to exfoliate your face. However, most exfoliants are abrasive-- contain salt or sugar, and thus produce microscopic tears and cuts in your skin, which in the long run harm it. You need to know which products are best for your skin, and an esthetician can tell you that in your facial.
