New In Anti-Aging Skin Care: Anti-Aging Facial
Anti-aging facial has all the steps of basic facial. The only difference is that it uses ingredients directed to the slowing down of skin aging. It is a procedure most befitting people aged 40 and up but anyone with visible aging symptoms can subject themselves to the treatment as well.
Why is it important?
As we continue to age, our skin becomes much thinner, also much dryer. Collagen, which is responsible for the skin's thick and plump appearance, is gradually lost. The same goes for elastin, which is what snaps skin back quickly. In addition, our cell regeneration slows down and our faces get more exposed to environmental elements, causing the appearance of creases and fine lines.
While others are content with using over-the-counter products that come with a special anti-aging formula, there are just people who'd prefer getting the most out of their beauty attempt by trying out professional treatments and procedures.
Anti-aging facials include chemical peeling and the use of collagen masks. Some focus on the application of special anti-aging serum that comes with vitamin C and hyaluronic acid which nourishes and exfoliates to promote a clear and well-hydrated skin. The procedure is also sometimes referred to as deep-pore cleansing or deep-cleansing facial because of its extraction procedures.
What to Expect from an Anti-Aging Facial
Cleansing. All facials being with cleansing. This may be directed with the use of sponges or cotton pads with swabs of creamy cleansers.
Skin Analysis. Estheticians will start by covering the eyes and then use a brightly-lit magnifying lamp to check the patient's skin condition. Older skin may be less prone to breakouts but large blackheads may be visible. More common issues that are likely to unfold though include broken capillaries, fine lines, age spots, wrinkles, and dry skin.
Exfoliation. Estheticians either use mechanical or chemical exfoliants for this. Mechanical exfoliants come with gritty texture and are used with steam vapor directed at the patient's face. Chemical exfoliants are those used in chemical peeling.
Extraction. This is the phase where whiteheads and blackheads are removed from the face.
Facial Massage. This is to relax and further stimulate the facial muscles and the skin.
Application of facial mask, toners, protective creams and serums
Cost
This type of facial can range anywhere around $85. Such price is subject to change depending on the place it is administered - hotel spa, medical spa or day spa, the price of the line and the duration of its effect.
Effect
Anti-aging facials are mostly very effective although the duration of results still depend on the quality of products used, level of skill and experience of the performing esthetician and whether patients carry through good skin care routine. Those performed in conjunction with LED light treatments also tend to come more effective as these help boost collagen.
Prior to getting the treatment though, it is important to first seek advices from expert dermatologists. There are some anti-aging products that come too harsh for those with sensitive skin. Plus, it is highly discouraged to have an anti-aging facial done and then expose the targeted skin under direct sunlight.
