Dealing with acne can be a frustrating and often distressing experience, affecting not only our physical appearance but also our self-confidence.
Facials are an effective treatment option that can go beyond just providing temporary relief. They address both the underlying causes of acne and work towards long-term improvement.
In this article, we’ll examine five specific ways facials contribute to improving acne, ranging from deep skin cleansing to exfoliation, targeted treatments, and beyond.
Join us as we uncover the benefits of facials in helping people of varying skin needs achieve a clearer, healthier complexion.
What is an Acne Facial?
An acne facial treatment works by targeting the symptoms of acne. Using formulated ingredients and techniques specific for acne-prone skin, it targets both current acne breakouts as well as protects the skin from future problems.
The following are five aspects of facials that may help treat acne. While every type of facial may incorporate the following techniques, acne facials hone in on these areas to help clear and protect the skin.
#1 Pore Cleansing
With deep cleansing and extraction, excess dirt and debris are cleared from the skin. The bacteria that can cause acne are eradicated, leaving the skin clean and primed to take in nutrients and serums.
#2 Exfoliation
Exfoliation works to remove dead skin cells that may further clog the pores and cause acne. Whether it is done through physical or chemical exfoliation, the old skin is removed leaving behind fresh skin that is clear of blemishes.
#3 Even Texture
Many suffer from the after-effects of acne in the form of uneven texture, acne scarring, and hyperpigmentation. In utilizing different techniques and products, facials can help to even the texture and leave the skin with a clear, radiant glow.
#4 Hydration
While it may seem counterintuitive for those with oily skin, the truth is one way to combat acne is by keeping the skin hydrated. Facials that utilize hydration without the use of heavy oils and pore-clogging ingredients provide the skin with nourishment and avoid causing further acne damage.
#5 Customized Serums
Finally, facials utilize customized serums to treat your specific needs. The combination of serums will depend on your skin, including type (dry, oily, combo), tone, and areas of concern. Customized treatments are arguably the most important part – no two people’s skin is alike, so why would their treatment be?
