Ask a primary-grade child and he or she will tell you that the skin is the largest organ of the human body and not only does the skin provide a “cover” for the skeletal system, but it is also the first layer of defense for our internal organs. However, the skin on your face is often a lot more delicate than the skin on the other parts of the body. This is one of the reasons why, you need to consider a more concentrated skincare treatment procedure for your face, as opposed to the rest of your body. So, while a good quality moisturizer being slathered all over your body is a reasonable way to protect the skin of your body, you will need to do a little extra for your facial skin.

There is a reason why more and more skin specialists are now suggesting that you indulge your skin in a facial every once in a while, and that is because there are genuine benefits of the same. Let’s take a look at some of the most common benefits that your facial skin can enjoy from a facial:

  1. A facial is skin treatment at the most basic level because it not only deep cleans the pores, but also removed dead skin cells and exfoliates the skin, giving you a cleaner, healthier-feeling skin. The process of a facial involves several steps, each of which is meant to clean your skin and nourish and hydrate it from within. The face will first be thoroughly cleansed, then exfoliated, and finally toned and moisturized to leave you with skin that looks and feels better.
  2. Did you know that you can get a facial for skin rejuvenation? Clinical trials have proven that when a facial is done properly, it can help rejuvenate the skin in a natural way. When the skin is gently agitated, it helps awaken the collagen that sits just underneath the skin and this helps improve your skin condition and overall texture. And when you indulge in regular facials, you will see that your skin tone and texture is constantly improving.
  3. The actual movement during a facial is meant to stimulate the nerve endings that sit just underneath the skin – when these nerve endings are stimulated, it leads to an improvement of blood circulation and that also helps the skin recuperate. Improved blood circulation can also ensure that your skin looks youthful and healthy.
  4. Another reason why facials work as an effective skin care treatment is because when the blood circulation is improved and collagen production is naturally boosted. This means that your skin will start to look naturally younger; fine lines and wrinkles will start to reduce and you will notice a natural glow as well.
  5. One of the steps during a facial is exfoliation – when dead skin cells are removed from the top layer of the skin, it reveals healthier skin underneath. Moreover, when the skin is exfoliated, it agitates the skin, pushing it towards self-healing, and this too helps reveal skin that looks and feels better.
  6. On a day-to-day basis, our skin is subjected to much – there is pollution, there is the usage of chemical-based skin products and makeup and when you use all these, it is natural for your skin to become clogged. With a facial, you can rest assured that the pores will be cleansed deeply, allowing your skin to breathe and repair itself.
  7. Did you know that you can actually get a customized facial; because these days, facials can be for specific skin problems. So, if you have acne problems or if you have very dry skin, your skin specialist will actually be able to suggest a facial that will specifically target these problems and give you better-looking skin.
  8. Finally, while facial for skin rejuvenation is a proven fact, it is also a mental rejuvenation – when you lie down comfortably in the chair or bed, your skin will gently be massaged and soothing gels or creams will be applied. Moreover, several pressure points are brought into action and that helps relax the body and mind.

While no specialist will suggest that you get a facial every week, getting one every once a month or once in about 45 days will give you a glow that will become the envy of all!
