We have started on the last mile towards the new year, and we all know what’s waiting for us. Sure, it’s all fun and joy, but 62 percent of people also agree that the holidays are very stressful. Unfortunately, that stress shows up on your skin in the form of dullness, fine lines, and an overall tired look that keeps you from looking your best.
Luckily, some things can help us obtain a rejuvenated look almost immediately, and the most convenient option is the facial. There are multiple facial options that you can go for, all of which give different results. In this blog, you will learn more about some of the best types of facials to end the year.
Why End the Year with a Facial?
The skin is the body’s largest organ, and when you are feeling stressed, it increases the secretion of a hormone called cortisol. This hormone can cause multiple reactions, among which is a higher sebum production. This makes you more prone to develop acne. Ironically, high cortisol levels can also cause the skin to feel dry, so it overcompensates with oil. This can lead to your skin feeling irritated and sensitive.
Left unattended, your complexion might get worse and worse by the time the New Year party turns a corner. A good facial can help nourish the skin and keep your oil glands from overproducing sebum, extracting dirt, and moisturizing dry skin. A massage, even if it’s done on your skin through a facial, can lower cortisol levels, so you also have that going for you.
Top Facial Treatments to Consider
When it comes to facials, there are plenty of effective options that can leave you with clear skin. The most notable are the following:
1. Detox Facial
A detox facial is a great end-of-the-year treatment for those who have acne-prone skin. This treatment cleanses and exfoliates the skin deeply, unclogging your pores while reducing excess oil. The treatment is usually followed by a sulfur mask, whose antifungal and antibacterial properties have proven effective in treating acne vulgaris. This not only helps reduce current breakouts but also keeps future ones from appearing.
2. Teen Facial
Teenagers are known for having smooth and wrinkle-free skin that everyone in their 30s and beyond wishes they had again. However, many teens, especially women, have hormonal issues, which can lead to breakouts. A teen facial will include a thorough skin analysis to determine one’s needs, and it can also cleanse and nourish the skin. This facial is great to soothe skin with mild acne, teen or not.
3. Chemical Peel
Chemical peels have long been a great ally for facial imperfections, from pigmentation to acne scars and wrinkles. Packed with different active agents, this treatment involves applying an acid solution to the skin, which triggers a peeling process of the uppermost layer. These peels can be customized based on your skin’s needs, going from superficial to deep peels that stimulate skin renewal.
4. Dermaplaning
When peach fuzz and dull skin bother you, dermaplaning can be an effective procedure to exfoliate the skin. The method uses a special blade to remove dead skin and fine hairs, reducing potential dullness while restoring the skin’s glow. Plus, without the dead skin covering the surface, this procedure can easily enhance the absorption of skincare.
5. Microneedling
For those dealing with sagging and wrinkling, causing your skin to look duller than it is, microneedling can be an effective solution. This treatment uses fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, triggering your body’s healing response. This results in a higher production of collagen and elastin, which can reduce various aging signs.
