Facial Care Treatments - How to Choose the Best Facial Treatment for YOU

Every high street boasts a host of facial care treatments promising younger, fresher, problem free skin. But which is right for you and where should you have it done? This is obviously a very individual choice.

Where is the easiest to address. Whether the treatment is to be given at a salon or spa or by a mobile therapist you should be able to discuss what a treatment involves, its effects and benefits. Consider, is the venue inviting? Is the therapist well qualified and professional? Would you feel happy to spend time and money with this person? If not, go elsewhere.

Next, does treatment address your concerns? If you are worried about blackheads, an anti-ageing facial is unlikely to help. Below I have given a guide to some of the most common treatments available and whom they might benefit.

The first treatment to discuss is obviously the facial. The facial should cleanse the skin, remove dead skin cells and prepare the skin for further products. This, however, is where they begin to differ. The prices will vary hugely, depending not only on the venue but on the cost of the products used. They usually start at around £30 and can go into the hundreds. I know of one facial which incorporates a mask of gold leaf.

Facials have varying aims such as deep cleansing or anti-aging and are often tailored to the client. Some of them might be express treatments concentrating on one area, such as the eyes. They can differ in treatment and product. The therapist will usually advise your choice of treatment and product selection based on a consultation and examination of the skin. Commonly, they will also recommend products to purchase for home facial care treatments on which they will probably receive a commission. It is in their professional interest for you to get good results, and will be well-informed, so it is worth asking their advice if you have enjoyed the treatment.
