The importants of facials and products
Why get a facial? The answer for this not the same for everyone,nor is every facial the same. Some facials are just fluff and buff,some facials are extremely clinical, and some are a combination. All esthetician and all facials are not the sam
e. The so how do you decide, first what are your concerns? If you want to just relax a fluff and buff, if you care about your skin looking better,then the combination or clinical. Let me give you my opinion….a facial should be both. Stress is the number one ager, and one of the top triggers for rosacea and acne. I feel getting the relaxing part is going to add to the overall result of the facial.
Let’s talk about product, how important are they. In the facial room very. If you could use the products in the way the use in the facial room then whyb do you need the facial? Or if the products are so fabulous to the esthtician she should be recommending things to compliment the treatment at home. I like how an esthetican I know described it once, the treatment then continues to the next treatment. If you have concerns about your skin when you go in for a facial, and you and the esthetician think that doing one treatment and going home and using the same products you were is going to help, then you probably think you can excercise and diet one day amonth and that will work.
Sometimes what people are using is okay, there aren’t a lot of issues going on, and the client really doesn’t have any concerns. These people, yes I might not suggest a product I sell over something they get at the grocery store. But just like your facials and estheticians, all products are not created equal and just because they cost more doesn’t mean they do more.
Through the years I have worked with a lot of different types of products from drugstore, to department store to salon. They use to tell us drugstore were about 5% action ingredients, department store 10 to 15 and salon 15 to 20, and doctors offices 20 to 25. Not true some doctor offices are no better then salons, some salons and doctorsb office’s are no better then drug stores. How do really know, it. It’s not always easy.
But here I s some things to think about, how fancy ıs the packaging, how much marketing, ( magazine and television) and cost. Do you know a glass bottle for some products can cost $6?
Don’t think the packaging makes the product, and don’t under estimate the product because of packaging.
Make sure your esthetician attends classes regularly, and that she understands the ingredients and what they do. A facial should have results, be relaxing, and come with recommendations. The three R’s of facials.
