Full facial treatment is an amazing way to treat your skin and mind, but it can also be quite expensive. This is why it's important that you go in knowing what you want and how much you're willing to spend. Here are ten tips that will help you get the most bang for your buck at our spa:
1. Exfoliate
Exfoliating is a great way to get the most out of your facial treatment. When you exfoliate, you remove dead skin cells from your face, which helps keep blackheads and acne at bay. Exfoliation also helps with other skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. And for those who are concerned about fine lines or wrinkles, exfoliation can help smooth them out by removing excess oil from pores so that they don't look as visible.
- Use an appropriate cleanser for your skin type:
You should have a cleanser that suits your specific needs before any type of facial treatment begins. This will ensure that you get the best results possible before moving forward with any sort of procedure!
2. Come prepared to talk
When you come for a facial, it's important to understand that you're more than just a body part being treated. Your skin is the largest organ in your body and is made up of various components that function as one unit. Because of this, it's important to ask questions about how each aspect of your treatment will be handled.
When thinking about what questions you should ask before getting a facial treatment, think about what excites you most about having a facial done. Is it the products they use? Or does someone with lots of experience interest you more? Maybe an in-depth conversation about their background would help put your mind at ease before getting started with your appointment! No matter what type of information floats your boat most when choosing who to go see for this service, there are some basic things any good aesthetician will be able to easily share with potential clients beforehand (and often).
3. Be honest about your budget
When it comes to full facial treatments, you get what you pay for. For example, if you want a high-end spa treatment and a low-quality facialist at an expensive spa is the best service they can offer, it's probably not worth your money. Also, if you're spending more than $300 on a facial but don't even need all of the services that come with that price tag, consider asking if they would be willing to give you their best services at a lower price point instead of charging higher rates for services that will go unused by some people who cannot afford such an extravagant experience or who don't want them in their treatment plan.
When it comes down to it: It doesn't matter how much money we have—we still want to get good value for our dollar! When looking for full facials treatments, remember these tips when deciding how much each individual procedure should cost so that everyone gets what they need without breaking their budget.
4. If a consultation is too pricey, ask for a mini version
You might be able to get what you want without paying extra money by asking for a mini facial treatment. Ask if there are any specials on that day that could apply to your situation.
5. Ask questions!
There are a few questions that you should always ask during your first full facial treatment.
- What products will be used on me? Nowadays, there are literally hundreds of different skin care products available for purchase online or at the drugstore. It's important to know which products you might want to use after your facial so that you can make an informed decision about what types of products fit your needs.
- What exactly is going to happen during my full facial treatment? There are many different types of facials out there—some focus more on exfoliation while others focus more on moisturization. Each type will require a different process and result in different results for your skin! Be sure to ask about all of this before committing yourself to any particular treatment plan.
- How long will each part take? Some facials take place over several hours; others may only take 15 minutes in total! Make sure that whatever time commitment is required fits well into your schedule before signing up for anything too detailed (or expensive). Also, consider whether the salon is open late enough after work so that it won't conflict with other obligations such as dinner dates or meetings (or family commitments).
6. Tell your esthetician if something doesn't feel right or hurt and they will adjust the treatment plan accordingly
- Tell your esthetician if something doesn't feel right or hurt and they will adjust the treatment plan accordingly. Most skin treatments are tailored to you, your skin, and what you want out of it. This means that they will ask you some questions throughout procedures that help them determine how to proceed with the services being provided. If something feels uncomfortable, say something! Your esthetician wants to make sure that you're satisfied with your service experience and will do everything possible to ensure this happens for you.
If something isn't right, let her know so she can change up her routine for next time!
7. Try not to compare yourself to other people in the room (everyone is on their own journey)!
While you're receiving a facial treatment, it can be easy to get caught up in comparing yourself to other clients. It can also be tempting to look at what others have achieved on their own skin and wonder why yours isn't looking like that yet. However, it's important not to compare yourself to others. When receiving a facial treatment every person has different needs—your body will respond differently than someone else's!
It's also worth noting that every person who receives a facial will leave the spa with different results as well; some may have more obvious changes than others after their first session, but there are many factors involved including genetics and lifestyle choices (such as diet).
8. Use this time to meditate/relax/connect with yourself- it's 100% ok and encouraged!
The last tip is to use this time to meditate. You may not be familiar with the term, but meditation is simply a way of relaxing and clearing your mind. There are many different ways to meditate, but it's often done by focusing on your breathing or repeating a mantra or word (like “om” or “one”). Meditation has been proven to help people feel more grounded, peaceful, and relaxed. It's also not just for monks and yogis — everyone can benefit from practicing it!
9. Add-ons are available for a reason– consider what you might want before, during, or after your service!
Add-ons are a great way to customize your treatment. Some add-ons include:
- Peel: A gentle chemical peel that exfoliates, unclogs pores, and lightens dark spots. This service takes about 30 minutes and costs an average of $50-$75.
- Eye Treatment: A specialized facial for the delicate skin around your eyes, which includes extractions of blackheads or whiteheads as well as a brightening treatment such as microdermabrasion or LED therapy (light emitting diodes). The eye treatment can take anywhere between 15-30 minutes depending on what type of eye treatment you get done!
10. Remember that everyone has different skin, and everyone's skin has different needs- don't assume that because something works for someone else that it will work for you!
We all have different skin, and it's important to remember that. Your skin is unique, and it doesn't necessarily respond to products in the same way as someone else's. That could mean that a product that worked amazingly well for your friend won't work at all for you. It's also possible that something completely different will work better than everything you've tried before!
It's always best to figure out what works for your own personal needs by trial and error—or just ask your aesthetician!
Going into your appointment with clear expectations is the best way to get the most out of your treatments
If your goal is to get the most out of your treatments, it is important that you be clear about what you want to achieve from them. For example, if you're getting a facial treatment for the first time and are unsure of what exactly a facial entails or how it can benefit your skin, here are some things to consider:
- Do I want my pores cleansed?
- Am I looking for reduced redness?
- How much do I want my skin tightened?
You should also be prepared to discuss your budget with your aesthetician during the consultation so they can recommend which treatments will help you meet those goals while staying within your budget.
