Monthly Facials aren’t just a luxury – they’re an investment in your confidence

Imagine waking up to youthful, clear, hydrated skin! No filters or makeup is needed in your morning routine. That’s the benefit of getting monthly facials. Think of getting regular facials like going to the dentist to keep your teeth healthy. Monthly facials deep clean your skin and are your secret weapon to maintaining healthy skin.

If you’ve ever struggled with breakouts, dryness, fine lines, or dullness; monthly facials are the answer.  Let’s dive into why monthly facials should be a non-negotiable part of your skincare routine and how they can transform your skin over time. We answer all your questions about facials for all skin types, such as acne, sensitive skin, and men’s treatments. So let’s dig in!

Why Are Monthly Facials A Must For Healthy Skin?

Most people only book a facial when they develop skin problems or have an upcoming event. That’s too late! Many skin problems could have been prevented with monthly facials, followed by professional skincare tailored to your skin’s needs. Your skin cells turnover every 28 days, meaning the new cells replicate the healthier cells. If your skin is properly cared for with professional skincare between facials, each new layer will be healthy. Monthly facials increase this cycle, helping your skin absorb products better, maintain hydration, and fight aging at the cellular level.

10 Benefits of Monthly Facials

Here’s why you must schedule that facial today:

1. Facials deep clean pores on a deeper level: Blackhead removal maintains clear skin, prevents acne, and keeps pores small. If left untreated, blackheads deepen and stretch pores making it harder to shrink as we age.
2. Detoxifies your skin: Facials flush toxins from under the skin causing ruddiness, puffiness, and fluid accumulation by stimulating the lymphatic system to detoxify.
3. Increases circulation: Facials stimulate blood flow which allows for healthier cell renewal.
4. Increases cell turnover: Young skin cell turnover occurs every 28 days, after we hit our fifties, cell turnover increases to approximately 45-80 days. Monthly facials increase cell turnover so your new cells remain healthier.
5. Hydrates skin: Environmental factors like wind, heat, cold, and sun dehydrate our skin. Facials rehydrate the skin.
6. Slow aging: Facial massage stimulates collagen to help smooth fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin.
7. Give your skin a healthy glow: Regular facials maintain a healthy skin barrier, resulting in a healthy glow, brighter skin, and smoother complexion.
8. Skin brightening: Regular facials help reduce dark spots and even skin tone. We always recommend wearing sunscreen and using Vitamin C to maintain.
9. Relaxation: Facial, neck, and shoulder massage stimulate pressure points, allowing you to relax and recharge your mind, and alleviate stress. 
10. Expert skin guidance: Estheticians check in with your skin and counsel you on proper skincare to maintain results. This prevents costly trial-and-error product purchases that sit in your bathroom unused.

What to Expect During Your Facial

Each facial follows similar guidelines. At Skin Deep Esthetics, we walk you through every step of the process. 

🧖‍♀️ We start with a double cleanse to remove all dirt, oil, and buildup removed so we have a clean slate to work with.

🧖‍♀️ Enzyme exfoliation paired with steam breaks down dead skin cells and softens pores for extractions. 

🧖‍♀️ Extractions remove blackheads, whiteheads, milia, and pimples. For our acne clients, we follow extractions, with high frequency, to minimize acne bacteria on the skin.

🧖‍♀️ Customized serums deliver targeted actives into the skin. We apply after exfoliation and extractions to allow your skin to absorb the serums. 

🧖‍♀️ Masks include customized hydrating, clay, detoxifying, soothing, or jelly masks. We pair this with your facial, neck, and shoulder massage to give you total relaxation. 

🧖‍♀️ Ending with moisturizer and sunscreen to lock in moisturizer and protect the skin barrier from UV damage. 

How Long Do Facial Results Last

With proper at-home skincare, your facial will last 4-6 weeks. Consistency is key! Your esthetician adjusts your treatments and products seasonally as your skin evolves.

Do Facials Include Extractions?

Yes. All our facials include extractions to deep clean and maintain healthy pores. If left untreated, blackheads deepen and stretch pores. It is difficult to shrink large pores. Facials are a great preventative measure for maintaining smaller pores.

Monthly Facials For Every Skin Type

Acne Facials

Acne facials focus on deep cleaning pores, calming, and soothing inflammation. Many of our acne clients come in dehydrated or have a compromised skin barrier from acne skin care products that strip the skin. We also counsel you on proper skincare and dietary recommendations for a healthy gut. In our blog, we talk about gut health and acne which is the cause of many acne problems, especially in adults.

Facials for Blackheads and Clogged Pores

Similar to our acne facial, focusing on deep cleaning pores and removing blackheads. We follow up the facial with our recommended home care. Many over-the-counter products strip the skin of oil, causing an increase in oil production causing blackheads to form.

Sensitive Skin Facials

This facial focuses on clients who are sensitive to touch or certain ingredients. The main goal is calming, hydrating, and soothing the skin. We use organic skincare products to ensure your skin is calm when you leave.

Antiaging Facials

Antiaging is our specialty! We love to treat aging clients by stimulating collagen and smoothing wrinkles. We have options for you to incorporate into your monthly facials. Our best advice is to start getting monthly facials in your 20s and 30s to establish healthy skin and slow aging. 

Men’s Facials

Men deserve great skin too and this facial focuses on sensitivity, oiliness, and post-shaving irritation. Most men don’t understand proper skincare and tend to grab bar soap or oily skin products that strip their skin. This can cause skin irritation, especially in the beard area. We help educate and simplify their skincare routine.

Tween and Teen Facials

We love working with kids! This is the perfect time to schedule your son or daughter a facial because we establish a healthy skin routine. Our goal is to maintain their skin when breakouts begin. Click here to get your tween or teen started.

Are Facials Safe During Pregnancy?

Yes! We use organic skincare products and gentle exfoliation methods. Pregnant skin can be unpredictable depending on your hormones. Pregnancy is a great time to schedule monthly facials to help control acne, blackheads, increased oil, dryness, and pigmentation.
