Facials

What is a Facial like?
If you've been a Do-It-Yourselfer when it comes to facials, you are going to be amazed at how a facial at the hands of a professional will make you feel and look! Our facials are one part therapeutic for the skin, and one part therapeutic for the senses. Some clients describe our facials as being a euphoric experience because of their relaxing, calming effects.

Facials are an hour-long treatment performed by our licensed esthetician. You will lie comfortably in a private room designed to carry you away from the outside world for a while through aromatherapy and calming visuals.  As you relax and unwind, your face will be deep-cleaned using specially designed professional products that exfoliate dead dull skin cells. Blackheads will be extracted, if any. A light facial massage is followed by a mask, toner, moisturizer and SPF application. Facials are a delightful way to bring a healthy glow to the skin and at the same time calm the senses in this very relaxing, pampering treatment. Although women have known the value of facials for eons, it is gratifying to see more and more men taking advantage of the awesome benefits of regular facials.  

How often should I have a facial?
It only takes one facial to feel like your skin has returned to life! However, we recommend a facial every 4-6 weeks to help maintain a healthy and glowing complexion. Each time you get a facial, the overall condition of your skin improves. You will notice a difference in how your skin looks, feels, and how much better it absorbs moisturizers.

For some people experiencing stress or menopause, the skin can be unpredictable and break out. Our esthetician may recommend more frequent visits until the problem is under control. To prolong the effects of your facial, be diligent with your home care program with proper cleansing, exfoliating, moisturizing and protecting. You will learn a lot about the specific needs of your skin from our esthetician who is happy to teach you how to best care for your skin.

At what age should I start receiving regular facials?
The sooner, the better, according to Linda Rhodes, our lead esthetician. "It's never too early to learn  good skin care habits," Linda says. She believes that people in their mid-20s should begin a serious skin care routine that includes regular facials, as well as microdermabrasions and peels as the skin needs them. Teenagers especially can benefit from professional skin care help during these acne-prone years. We strongly believe that educating clients early about skin care is critical to avoiding the sun-damage, wrinkles and dry skin that happens as we age. Damage control needs to start early.
