Why is it important to have facials?

Our skin is the largest organ of the body. It helps to regulate our body temperature. It protects us from the elements and harmful environment. And everyday we abuse it! Let’s face it; our climate in Chicago is less than perfect. In winter we are bombarded with wind and cold that causes our skin to become dry and flaky. In summer we expose our skin to the harmful effects of sun damage and free radical damage. It is important to keep our skin nourished and in good health in order for it to maintain it’s beauty over our lifetime. It’s the only skin we’ve got!

How often do you need facials?

It’s important to start taking care of your skin at an early age. In our teens, we often experience acne, breakouts, and clogged pores. Learning proper skin care regimens helps us create habits for the rest of our lives. As we age, our skin needs extra care to keep it from becoming dull and lifeless. Exfoliation is a key step in maintaining healthy skin. When we are in our teens and early 20’s, our cell turnover occurs every 21 days or so. By the time we are in our 40’s that regeneration process occurs every 6-8 weeks and in our 60’s it’s down to every 3 months. This leaves our skin feeling dry, flaky, and dull and having a build up of dead cells. Therefore, we recommend facials ideally every 4-6 weeks, but at minimum, every 3 months.
