Great facials are a small gem

A great facial can make all the difference in how you move through life. Have a beautiful face, abandon poor skin care. Things to know are that the first 3 facial goals are a flawlessly clean skin, to be water hydrated and to keep your skin cool and protected. The answer is always in what you use, how you use it and when you use it. The most important cleanings are the Pm washing and after exercising. Double cleansing is the answer, which means two consecutive washings between 6-8 pm, no later and immediately after exercising, do not wait. The reason has to do with accumulative grime. A good visual is when a dish goes unwashed overnight, the food dries and it takes much longer to clean than a dish that is washed immediately, the same is true in cleansing the face. The compounded grime left behind each night coats and clogs one’s skin. Your first cleanser should be a dissolver, one that melts make up, grime, sunblock and sweat while your second cleanser should be a targeted cleanser designed for your skin’s needs, including exfoliation to get that glass skin look.

The most important step for a balanced skin after being clean is to be water hydrated. A hydrated skin functions naturally, is flexible, plump and radiant.  Water hydration in the skin prevents lines, stressed capillaries, red reactions, uneven skin tone and cures dry, dull skin. Use skin drink products and get the water into your body. The key now is to keep your skin cool, environment and sun protected. What helps is fresh air, lots of water and to breathe fully. Have good posture. Wear effective UVA/UVB sun protection , double block with a physical concealer sunblock on red areas of face to prevent radiating heat build up. Reapply your sun protection; especially for hyperpigmentation conditions, keep your skin and capillaries sun protected. Do make sure that your sunscreen expiration date has not expired. Welcome to the beautiful ritual of caring for your face and onward to the next goals…refine the pores and tone up your skin, reverse sun damage and discoloration, care for your eyes and neck, maintain progressive results. Be faithful to your facial appointment timing.
