Summer is a great time to relax and have fun, but it can also be tough on your skin.
The heat, humidity and sun can all take a toll on your complexion, leaving it looking dull, dry, and stressed. Too much sun exposure can lead to premature aging, sunspots. Protecting the skin with a good sunscreen is essential, but SPF can also trigger breakouts or irritation (no reason to skip it though!).
Summer facial
If you’re looking for a way to give your skin a break and improve its appearance, a summer facial is a great option.
A facial is a professional treatment that cleanses, exfoliates and hydrates your skin. It can help to remove dirt, oil, and dead skin cells that can build up on your skin during the summer. Deep cleansing and exfoliation is a great way to remove these impurities, leaving you with a fresh, clear complexion. It can also help to improve your skin’s moisture levels.
In addition to the physical benefits, a facial can also be a great way to relax and de-stress. It’s a chance to take some time for yourself and pamper your skin. A wonderful treat if you have some time at home with the family or on a staycation.
So if you’re looking for a way to improve your skin’s health and appearance in the summer, a facial is a great option.
Here are some of the benefits of getting a facial in summer:
- Deep cleanse your skin: A facial can help to remove dirt and oil that can build up on your skin during the summer. This can help to improve your skin’s appearance and reduce the risk of breakouts.
- Exfoliate your skin: Sloughing away the outer layer of grime and skin cells exposes a layer of fresh, new skin; which tends to look much softer and more radiant. It also stimulates skin cell renewal.
- Hydrate your skin: The summer heat can cause your skin to become dehydrated. A facial can help to replenish your skin’s moisture levels and keep it looking plump and healthy.
- Reduce stress: A facial can be a great way to relax and de-stress. This can be especially helpful during the busy summer months.
If you’re looking for a way to improve your skin’s health and appearance in the summer, a facial is a great option. There are many different types of facials available, so you can find one that’s right for your skin type and concerns.
Medical-grade exfoliation vs salon facial
If you’re looking to ‘freshen up’ the way your skin looks and feels, then it’s worth considering professional ‘medical-grade’ exfoliation treatments, as these are a more intensive option compared to the average salon facial.
Medical grade exfoliation and salon facials are both skin care treatments that can help to improve the appearance of your skin. However, there are some key differences between the two.
- Medical grade exfoliation is a more intense treatment that uses medical-grade products and devices to remove dead skin cells and other impurities from the skin. This type of exfoliation can be more effective at treating specific skin concerns, such as acne, hyperpigmentation, and wrinkles. However, it can also be more expensive and more likely to cause side effects, such as redness, irritation, and dryness.
- Salon facials are typically less intense than medical grade exfoliation. They use a variety of techniques, such as cleansing, exfoliation, extractions, and masking, to improve the appearance of the skin. This type of facial is a good option for people who want to improve their overall skin health and appearance. However, it is not as effective at treating specific skin concerns as medical grade exfoliation.
Here is a table that summarises the key differences between medical grade exfoliation and salon facials:
| Feature | Medical grade exfoliation | Salon facial |
|---|---|---|
| Intensity | More intense | Less intense |
| Products and devices | Medical-grade products and devices | Non-medical-grade products and devices |
| Effectiveness | More effective at treating specific skin concerns | Less effective at treating specific skin concerns |
| Cost | More expensive | Less expensive |
| Side effects | More likely to cause redness, irritation, and dryness | Less likely to cause side effects |
