For skin treatments, various Facials are available according to different skin issues. Consider getting a Facial if you want to pamper yourself or add something new to your skincare routine.

What is a Facial?

A Facial is a popular skincare and wellness treatment that deeply cleans, exfoliates, and moisturizes the skin using specific tools and products. Facials are either non-penetrating or minimally invasive, meaning they don’t deeply penetrate the skin.

Broadly, the four types of Facials discussed below, use needles, lasers, and chemicals (like chemical peels) to rejuvenate the skin. Nevertheless, they are gentle enough to be done in the office without requiring breathing space. You can get one in the morning and still meet friends for lunch, though your skin might be a bit red, depending on the Facial.

Which type of Facial is the best?

The best facial for you depends on your skin type and any precise skin concerns you have. If you need help deciding which to select from a long list of options, consult a skincare specialist for advice on the best Facial for your needs.

4 of the most popular Types of Facials and their Benefits

If you’re passionate about trying a Facial, here are 4 primary types to consider. Remember to have Facials done by beauty specialists to guarantee the best experience and avoid skin damage. At Play Salon, our beauty experts can guide you and answer questions about the types of Facials that are available and their benefits.

1. The Express Facial

An Express Facial is a fast therapy to improve skin health. It’s perfect for those who are short of time. The key feature is its speed, which doesn’t include extensive procedures. At Play Salon, an Express Facial takes 30 minutes and includes:

• Double cleanse: Extract makeup and dirt with O Cosmedics Nourishing Cleansing Balm, followed by O Cosmedics Gentle Antioxidant Cleanser.
• Manual exfoliation: Cleans dead skin using O Cosmedics Exfoliating Cleanser and 3-in-1 Fruit Peel Mask, revealing fresh skin.
• Hydrating mask: This mask adds moisture and incorporates a hand and arm rubbing using either O Cosmedics Hydra Plus Sleep-in Mask or Aspect Probiotic Mask.
• Finishing creams: O Cosmedics Immortal Cream or Comfort Cream, together with Mineral Pro SPF 30+, gives protection and moisture.

Express Facials are usually easy, pleasant, and painless. They are great for maintaining healthy skin during busy schedules and provide immediate benefits, including hydration and a fresh appearance.

Hydrated skin is younger-looking, more resilient, and more capable to cope with stress. Express Facials can improve results by combining additional treatments like microdermabrasion or LED therapy. However, speak with a dermatologist beforehand if you have skin issues.

2. The Radiance Facial

Everyone dreams of having soft, radiant skin to flaunt. While everyone must work hard on their skincare routine, sometimes it’s best to get the help of beauty experts. Play Salon presents the Advanced Radiance Facial, a solution for radiant, healthy skin without time off or taking any extensive aftercare. Dermatologists suggest this therapy to help moisturize and revitalize dry, parched skin. It treats typical ailments like dullness, redness, fine wrinkles, uneven tone, pigmentation, and sun damage. The five painless phases of the Advanced Radiance Facial are as follows:

• Deep cleaning: Removes dirt, oil, and debris.
• Skin rejuvenation: Uses Harmony AFT, a gentle, modern light technology.
  Personalized Peeling Serum: Aims to specific skin issues.
• Cool mask: Includes collagen and vital vitamins to revive skin.
  Hydrating Agent and Sunscreen: Moisturizes and protects the skin.

Once the Radiance Facial is done, prevent the skin from being directly sunken for a few days, and use sunscreen regularly to protect the treated skin from pigmentation. Our beauty specialists will advise treatments every two weeks to allow your skin to rejuvenate. Try the Advanced Radiance Facial at Play Salon for glowing, healthy skin with no downtime.

How Often is a Facial necessary?

Schedule your Facials according to your chosen type, as each has a unique revival time and session suggestion specific to your skin type. Therapies for conditions such as dry skin, wrinkles, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation include microneedling, brightening, IPL, and microdermabrasion; the best results often require multiple sessions. We suggest a Facial scheduled every three to four weeks, depending on how your skin reacts to each treatment.

Plan a Facial when you observe skin issues that regular skincare can’t manage or as a precaution. If your skin senses dryness or looks dull, consider a Facial. For non-penetrating anti-aging options like fine lines and wrinkles or a boost after a stressful day, a Facial can help refresh your skin. While there’s no set rule for when to get a Facial, a monthly treatment can provide ongoing skincare benefits and a rejuvenating boost.
