SKIN CARE IS WELLNESS
Nothing can match the feeling you get when you glide your fingers over your face and feel that soft and milky skin. Most of you follow a daily skin care routine at home. It might not be elaborate, but it at least helps you maintain your skin. But once in a while, it’s good to let the professionals take care of your skin. Yes, I am talking about the benefits of facials.
If you think that facials are nothing but a frivolous way to pamper your skin, you are wrong.
A facial is a multi-step way to take 360-degree care of your skin.
A facial is a skin care treatment that involves exfoliating and cleansing to eliminate dirt, dead skin, and impurities. It can be performed by an esthetician at a spa or a beauty salon or by a dermatologist at their clinic.
A facial done by a trained professional can help keep your skin healthy even if you do not have any skin issues. Moreover, a facial massage not only makes your skin glow but also de-stresses you and helps you relax.
Benefits Of Facial
1. Reduce Stress And Relieve Psychological Distress
I am not claiming this. According to a study published in the journal Biomedical Research, facial massage activates your sympathetic nervous system. This reduces your anxiety level and uplifts your mood.
There are hundreds of pressure points on your face that are connected to various systems in your body. When these pressure points are massaged, your body responds to it. A good facial massage not just to leave your skin glowing, but it also affects the functioning of the other organs. This is kind of an exercise for your face. And since it is not possible for you to know all the pressure points, you need to visit a professional to get that facial massage.
2. Cleanse Your Skin
An excellent facial will cleanse your face thoroughly, which is not possible at home. The facialist understands your skin type and knows what needs to be done to keep it in good shape. He/she uses steam to open up the pores and cleanse your skin thoroughly.
3. Prevent Aging
Admit it – you are not getting younger with each passing day. And because you have only one face, you need to take care of it properly. Regular facials and face massages boost cell regeneration and promote collagen development. This gives you younger looking skin.
4. Facial Massage Promotes Blood Circulation
A study says that massage improves the blood circulation in your body. The same applies to your face. Improved blood circulation in your face means that your cells get lots of oxygen and nutrients that are carried along with the blood. This translates to healthier and efficient cells and a glowing face.
5. Facials Help Detoxify The Skin
Your skin needs to get rid of the waste that accumulates on it on a regular basis. And if this is not done correctly, it results in breakouts. That’s why a skin detox is necessary. Apart from cleansing and washing your face every day, you need facials to detoxify it. Therapists use special ingredients specifically and personally selected for your skin type.
6. You Get Expert Care
Facials come along with expert opinions and advice. Before any facial treatment, the expert esthetician asks you about your skin type, issues you are facing, and what problems you want to address. They examine your skin and analyze the problem before offering a solution. They pick products and treatments that are beneficial for your skin.
Benefits of Seaweed Wrap For Skin
What is a Seaweed Wrap?
A seaweed wrap is a form of skin treatment that can benefit the entire body. Seaweed contains a wealth of minerals that offer a range of benefits for your skin. A paste can be made using seaweed, hot water and occasionally other ingredients, such as essential oils or flour. After the paste is spread over your body, you are wrapped in a blanket or a plastic wrap to help the skin fully absorb the benefits from this popular seaweed paste. This is a popular offering at many spas around the world.
Seaweed Wrap Benefits
Seaweed wrap benefits primarily relate to the skin, but the nutrients can also penetrate deeper for some surprising effects.
Removes Dead Skin Cells and Detoxifies the Body
Due to the warmth of the paste, and the wrapping element of the process, a seaweed wrap makes the body sweat. This loosens any dead skin on the body. Sweating also releases toxins inside the body through the skin. The toxins and dead skin are then removed with the paste during the clean-up phase.
Moisturizes
The seaweed is full of minerals, vitamins, and lipids that will enrich your skin with moisture. This enriching process is made easier after the dead skin cells have been loosened by the heat, making this one of the most effective ways to increase the moisture content of your skin.
Regenerates Elasticity
Seaweed is a great source of fatty acids, Vitamin A and antioxidants, all of which have been shown to aid the body in rebuilding the skin’s elasticity and regenerating damaged skin cells. A study recently published in Advances in Botanical Research by Dr. Gilles Bedoux suggests that the antioxidants in seaweed wraps have measurable anti-aging effects.
Reduces the appearance of Cellulite and Wrinkles
It is thought that the minerals and vitamins in the seaweed and the process of the wrap itself may help to reduce the appearance of cellulite and fine wrinkles.
