A facial may increase your face value in the workplace, but if done improperly, this popular de-stressing option can also expose you to unnecessary risk, warns dermatologists.
It was not so long ago when facials were done only in the sterile confines of a dermatologist clinic or, for those who know, in the musty halls of the red light district. Not anymore.
Today, so-called skin clinics peddling all manner of skin treatments have sprouted up at almost every corner with hardly any dermatologists in sight. Even beauty salons have branched out to include facial treatments among their services, thanks to the white-hot competition in the workplace where clear and baby-smooth skin has become an edge.
A facial basically involves cleaning the face, extracting pesky blackheads and whiteheads, treating pimples, and closing the pores with a laser treatment. The cost can range depending on the brand of skin care products used as well as the extract frills that are offered, from a facial massage, a skin tightening mask, and antioxidants.
Just like a body massage, a foot spa, and body scrub, facials have become popular de-stressing options for most people who look forward to some pampering at the end of a hard days work.
The trend bodes well for skin and face clinics where facials are the most requested treatment, usually combined with an exfoliation session. A regular facial can go a long way in maintaining your face value in this highly competitive world. While frequency treatment defends on person’s skin type and particular needs, a monthly facial is usually good enough.
