Diving into the world of professional skincare can be both exhilarating and, let’s face it, a tad intimidating. With terms like “chemical peels” and “exfoliation” flying around, it’s natural to have a bouquet of questions sprouting in your mind. We totally get it! Whether you’re pondering the wonders of a rejuvenating
facial or the mystique of a transformative peel, the journey to radiant skin is filled with curiosity. As your skincare confidants, we’re here to light the path, answering those burning questions that might be keeping you from experiencing the bliss of an esthetician’s touch. So, sit back, sip your favorite herbal tea, and let’s demystify the world of facials and peels together.
Here are some commonly asked questions about facials and peels at Massage LI and their general answers:
What’s the purpose of a facial?
Basic facials cleanse, exfoliate, and nourish the skin, promoting a clear, well-hydrated complexion and can help maintain its youthfulness. Specialty treatments can target specific goals or conditions a client may be experiencing, such as sun damage or acne.
How often should I get a facial?
Generally, it’s recommended once a month because our skin regenerates roughly every 28 days. However, it varies based on individual needs, skin type, and treatment goals.
What’s the difference between a facial and a peel?
While both aim to exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin, a peel typically uses chemicals or enzymes to remove dead skin cells, allowing newer skin to surface. A facial focuses on overall skin care and can include a variety of treatments, with exfoliation being just one aspect.
Will chemical peels leave my skin red or cause any downtime?
Some redness or sensitivity can occur, depending on the peel’s strength. Milder peels might cause little to no downtime, while deeper peels can cause peeling or flaking for several days. Your esthetician will provide aftercare instructions.
Can I wear makeup after a facial or peel?
It’s recommended to give your skin a break for at least a few hours, if not the rest of the day, to let it breathe and absorb the treatment benefits.
Will a facial or peel help reduce my acne/scars/wrinkles?
They can help! Regular facials can contribute to clear skin, and certain peels can target acne scars, fine lines, and uneven pigmentation. However, results vary by individual and often multiple treatments are needed.
Is there anything I need to do to prepare for a facial or peel?
Avoid excessive sun exposure and certain products/ingredients like retinol for a few days prior. Always communicate any skincare products you’re using with your esthetician.
Do facials or peels hurt?
You might feel some tingling or warmth with certain products, especially peels, but it shouldn’t be painful. Always communicate with your esthetician if you feel discomfort.
How do I know which facial or peel is right for me?
A consultation with a licensed esthetician will help determine the best treatment for your skin type and concerns.
Can I get a facial or peel if I’m pregnant?
Some treatments and products are safe during pregnancy, while others are not. Always inform your esthetician if you’re pregnant or suspect you might be.
How long does the glow from a facial last?
Typically, the immediate glow and softness last for several days, but the benefits of the facial, when maintained with proper skincare, can last much longer.
Will I break out after a facial?
Some people experience a “purge” where impurities are brought to the surface, leading to breakouts. However, these breakouts should be temporary and result in clearer skin afterward.
Are there any side effects?
Potential side effects include redness, irritation, and allergic reactions. It’s crucial to inform the esthetician of any allergies or skin sensitivities you have.
