Out-of-balance skin is one of the most common issues dermatologists and beauty experts around the world receive questions about. The complexions that celebrities showcase on the red carpet are seldom marked by sun damage and wrinkles. In fact, their skin tends to be seemingly flawless, without acne or other blemishes in sight. Nothing beats the feeling or look of having baby-soft, smooth, and clear skin, but obtaining it—despite the environmental forces that damage it every day—can be difficult, especially in the winter months. The coldest season often leaves us with sallow, dehydrated, and dull-looking skin due to freezing temperatures, dry air from indoor heating, and blustery conditions. Extreme weather might be putting your skin through the wringer, but don’t panic: A facial could be all that Philadelphia-area patients need to bring their skin woes to an end and start enjoying a radiant, healthy complexion again. Wondering exactly what it is that facials do? Here are some things to consider:
1. Gives Your Skin a Deep Cleaning
Sometimes your pores just need a more comprehensive cleaning that what would be possible at home. If this is the case, choose a professional who has a good understanding of your skin type. This allows you to get rid of the oils, dirt, toxins, bacteria, and other waste materials that get trapped in pores and on the surface, leading to cosmetic problems.
2. Psychological Benefits
Facials not only improve the appearance and health of the skin, but can also make you feel better. It’s a relaxing experience that uplifts your mood while decreasing stress and anxiety.
3. Treats Acne
Picking at pimples and blackheads can make things worse, as well as cause scarring due to increasing irritation and infection. Our team uses special tools to address these lesions without damaging the skin or spreading the problem.
4. Exfoliates More Effectively
During a facial, we use advanced tools to completely resurface and polish the skin, improving its texture by scrubbing away the cells that have died and built up on its outer surface so that healthier skin can be revealed. Also, when blockages are removed from your pores, the skin absorbs topical products more effectively and makeup slides onto the smoother surface more easily.
