Facials are for many people a luxurious indulgence often held for special occasions. Birthday treats. Some festive skin prep. A pre-wedding pamper session. A facial can indeed give you time out for self-care and an instant healthy glow. But when it comes to caring for your skin the benefits of regular facials go way beyond relaxation and aesthetics. Skin conditions such as acne or rosacea, fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, or simply dull tired-looking skin, can all significantly improve by choosing the right regular facial. Here, Phoebe Johnson, spa manager at Mercure Sheffield Kenwood Hall Hotel & Spa takes a look beneath the surface at the benefit of regular facials and why they’re worth considering as part of your regular skincare regime.
GOING BEYOND THE SURFACE
A spa facial provides next-level deep cleansing for your skin. Removing impurities and any build-up of dirt and oil in the pores and going beyond the skin’s surface. Even the most scrupulous of home skin care routines can miss some of the deeper impurities in the skin.
The skin care professionals at our Sheffield spa will use techniques and products that can thoroughly cleanse while being tailored to your skin type. Leaving your skin refreshed and rejuvenated and never irritated. Regularly cleansing through facials can also address common skin issues like blackheads, acne, and spots.
For oily acne-prone skin and those with a build-up of dirt and oil in the pores, Kenwood Hall’s ACTIVE PURENESS FACIAL is the perfect choice. A mattifying peel-off Spirulina Algae mask aids deep this purifying facial. Mandelic Acid, Green, and White Clay rebalance and reduce enlarged pores and blackheads.
THAT ‘JUST EXFOLIATED’ GLOW
Exfoliation is a key part of any facial. It aims to remove dead skin cells and encourage skin turnover, revealing brighter more youthful skin. Often exfoliation will give you a ‘healthy glow’ to the skin. Especially when it is done repeatedly as this can boost collagen production. A little-known fact about exfoliation is that it improves how moisturisers and serums are absorbed and can penetrate the skin’s layers. The result? Better hydrated, glowing skin.
Going one step further. A peel is a type of chemical exfoliation that dissolves dead skin cells rather than using something slightly abrasive to rub them off.
Within the Kenwood Hall spa treatment list is the SUBLIME SKIN SUPER PEEL. It has a double peel process to reduce expression lines and wrinkles and provide exceptional skin smoothness. it is suitable for the most delicate to the most resistant of skins.
HOLDING BACK THE YEARS
As we age, the skin often becomes drier and loses its elasticity, leading to premature aging. Hydration is key to addressing these issues. Many facial treatments focus on replenishing moisture levels in the skin and provide an intense moisture boost. Leaving your skin soft, energised, and glowing.
Many of the guests at our spa in Sheffield have also come to realise that the benefit of regular facials includes improved blood circulation to the face and improved collagen production. Both of these are essential for firmer, plumper, more youthful skin and for maintaining skin elasticity.
We’ve already mentioned peels and exfoliation but there are many more high-tech, scientifically proven techniques for rolling back the clock when it comes to our skin.
Micro-needling, microdermabrasion, and LED therapy are just some of the ways to reduce lines, wrinkles, and age spots for a more youthful complexion. These treatments often have cumulative effects. So, where there are benefits to just one treatment, booking a course of at least three, or scheduling regular monthly appointments will certainly give you the best results.
We also recommend the use of Advanced massage techniques and including Cryo spoons to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and decongest the face. Like we do in our ever-popular Hydromemory Facial.
OVERALL WELLBEING
- The benefit of regular facials isn’t restricted to just about looking after your skin. Having regular facials can lead to a whole range of wellness benefits. Here are just some:
- Confidence – there’s no denying the confidence that comes with glowing, healthy skin. Facials improve the texture and tone of your skin, making you look and feel your best and resulting in an extra boost of self-assurance.
- Better circulation – Facial massages improve blood flow and lymphatic drainage, promoting a natural detoxification process. Enhanced circulation delivers oxygen and nutrients to your skin cells, which helps maintain a healthy complexion.
- Stress relief and relaxation -The soothing nature of a facial isn’t just for your skin. It can benefit your mind as well. Facials often include massage, aromatherapy, and calming music. All of which help reduce stress and promote relaxation.
CONCLUSION
Facials are much more than a pampering experience. The benefits of regular facials are extensive. They’re a commitment to your skin’s health and longevity and an investment in yourself. Whether your goal is to address specific concerns, maintain a radiant complexion, or simply enjoy a moment of self-care, a professional facial at our friendly Sheffield spa offers benefits that are hard to achieve at home.
