We all know the importance of seeking regular physical examinations and getting that much-needed trim for our tresses every few months. Compared to these, facials tend to be sidelined because these are often viewed as pampering treatments rather than essential procedures.

The truth is, facials should not be seen as a luxurious session, but rather an integral part of your self-care routine. That’s because taking care of your skin is just as important as your other usual check-ups and appointments. Here are the benefits of making facials a monthly habit.

1. Deep cleaning

Sure, you use your facial wash religiously. However, this is not enough to get rid of the deep-seated dirt that may be lodged within your pores. You may also have a stash of anti-aging creams and masks, but by regularly visiting your aesthetician, you’ll receive more potent products that do the job and more effectively at that.

The great thing about facials is that your aesthetician gets down to the root of the problem and is able to thoroughly clean your face, removing unwanted toxins and bacteria. This lets your skin breathe and you’ll leave the clinic looking and feeling fresh. Having clean skin makes for a great base for any kind of makeup, making you extra vibrant for that date or Zoom meeting. You can get that “I-woke-up-like-this” kind of glow with the ZO® Brightening Facial or that helps cleanse, exfoliate and brighten hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone. Here in Belo, we have a variety of facials that address different skin concerns, so don’t fret if you can’t choose – our doctors can recommend what’s best for you!

2. Professional assessment and care

An occasional bout with pimples are considered normal, but some patients have more serious problems affecting their face— these include acne, scarring and more. By letting the experts regularly check your face, you’ll receive a professional assessment and get the right products to treat these immediately. 

The ZO Oil Control Facial is designed for oily and acne-prone skin, and does its wonders by combining the ZO Stimulator Peel, Aloe Hydra Massage Gel and Complexion Clearing Masque. This facial is deemed a safe and effective way to treat weak and sensitive skin!

3. Relaxation

We don’t think we’ve ever heard of anyone who didn’t enjoy getting a facial. Who doesn’t like receiving that well-deserved massage and me-time after a stressful month? Most beauty clinics – ours included – even serve hot tea after a session for that extra dose of relaxation. Scientifically speaking, facial massages also help circulate the blood in your lymphatic vessels and reduce puffiness.

Speaking of relaxation, if your skin is one that’s sensitive and gets easily irritated, the ZO Redness Control Facial will be of good help in giving it the ~relief~ it needs. Helping in reducing redness and irritation (think rosacea, or an inflammatory skin condition that causes redness), this facial also prevents new skin damage and improve its overall skin appearnce and

These are just a few of the many benefits of facials not just for your skin’s appearance, but also for your overall wellness and mental health as well. With any self-care activity, we affirm just how important it is to carve time out of our busy schedule to reward ourselves.
