LA Massage & Spa Health Why Facial Treatments Are Beneficial By Tristin Taylor

ur skin is our largest organ and it is the most noticeable thing that we observe when we encounter different people, especially our faces. So it is Oimportant that we take care of our face and maintain it so that we always look vibrant and have healthy skin. One of the best ways to have beautiful glowing skin is by getting a facial.

What is a Facial? Facials are therapeutic massages that help leave your skin looking and feeling clearer, softer and younger. Facials also help to remove dead cells and shrink clogged pores. A masseuse that is working on your face may also massage it to help the blood circulate and to relieve the stresses and tensions in your face. There are different types of facials to choose from. How do you know which facial is the best for you? Below is a list of facials to help you choose the best ones for your needs.

1.Acne Facial Unfortunately, acne isn’t only for adolescents anymore, there are adults that suffer from it as well. For people who struggle with acne, this facial is designed to focus pr imarily on extr actions for blocked pores. This process removes excess build-up of oil and cleans the dirt that clogs up your pores. The treatments per - formed by the esthetician will help reduce acne development for the future .

14 LA Massage & Spa 2. Oxygen Facial The Oxygen Facial doesn’t require an esthetician to use their hands on your face at all. Instead this facial uses a machine that applies the oxy - gen into the skin. It helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles and it helps pro - duce collagen, the protein in your body that helps your skin look younger. The oxygen treatment ben - efits include younger looking skin, reduced wrinkles, clean pores, and helps combat acne marks and scars.

3. Anti-Aging Facial This facial is probably the most popular one because everybody wants to look younger, right! What an anti-aging facial does is that it focuses on improving the elasticity of the skin to help reduce the signs of aging. This particular facial requires an esthetician to examine the skin under a magnify - ing glass.

4. Microcurrent Facial The Microcurrent Facial is a special - ized facial where mild pulses of elec - tric energy are sent to your facial muscles with a specialized device. The benefits of a Microcurrent Facial are similar to the benefits of a facelift with benefits including tight pores, reduced wrinkles and a replenished skin. Not only does it give you a great facial, but it also tightens and firms the contour of your face.

LA Massage & Spa 15 5. Mini Facial A Mini Facial is exactly what it sounds like - a mini facial. This is a cosmetic treat - ment that gives you the benefits of a full facial in lesser time. Not only is the time cut in half, but also the procedure is much more cheaper too. Mini facials can give you tighter, healthier, and smoother skin and can help fight off acne scars.

6. Chemical Peel Chemical peels are facials that deeply exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin with a chemical solution. Before the chemical solution is applied onto your face, your skin is cleansed thoroughly and then the acidic chemical solution is applied to your face, concentrating on the top layer of your skin and removing the dead cells. The bene - fits of this treatment include a deeper exfoliation with skin looking refreshed and feeling smooth. It also reduces the effects of sun damage and skin discoloration. Facials are very essential for younge r, bea utiful looking skin. Cease the season with beautiful glowing skin and consider some of these amazing facials that will rejuvenate your youthful appearance and help boost your confidence. n

Another source of inspiration and motivation is wanting to show off that swimsuit body when out on the pool. Using your friends for inspiration can be good because they can help give you moral support and encouragement plus could you guys could be workout buddies. Somebody that is helping you stay on top of your game and will give you more incentive to follow through with your goals so that you get the results you want.

Workout Many Parts of Your Body Whether its cardio or strength workouts, it is important that you work out as many parts of your body as you can.
