And I thought that facial treatments are only for ladies. Today, I see more and more men flocking to salons to have their own dose of facials. And I cannot really blame them. With the many benefits of facial, it would really be unwise not to take care of your face every now and then. Whether you care to admit it or not, your face is what other people will naturally look at the first time they meet you. They won’t be looking at your arms, your legs, or even your chest. What people will see are your eyes, your lips, and the other features that help define who you are, albeit at first impression.

I know many of you will say not to judge a book by its cover. But, let’s be honest. If you see someone, what part of him or her do you see first? Is it not the face? If you see a “friendly” face, will you not be enticed to get to know the individual more? Now, if you see face that is oily, full of blemishes and pockmarks, would you even want to go near that person? Honestly, we are naturally drawn to a face that is clean and with very distinct features that our brain is telling us as attractive.

So how can facial treatments help?

Cleanses the Skin

There are many types of facial treatments. There are those that remove dead skin cells so that a fresher and livelier skin appears. There are also facial treatments that aim to manage common facial skin problems like dark circles, acnes, blackheads, whiteheads, brown spots, and hyperpigmentation, just to name a few. Still, there are those that enhance the overall appearance of the skin on the face.

For the most part, however, facial treatments help cleanse the skin by removing dead skin cells and opening up clogged pores. This helps reduce the incidence of acne formation. As acne is closely associated with hormonal issues especially among us, women, having a facial can help tame the production of sebum by the sebaceous glands underneath the skin. Facial treatments also help remove dirt and debris that may have accumulated in the pores especially if you walk outside and be exposed to various pollutants in the environment. Sometimes the makeup that we use contain very harsh chemicals that can also damage our skin. Facials help remove these skin surface contaminants so we look amazingly beautiful and naturally vibrant.

Improves Circulation

Some facial treatments work like a massage which can help improve blood and lymph circulation. Improving blood flow to the skin on the face can give you a natural rosy colour which, if done correctly, will make you not want to put on makeup or blush-on anymore. Nothing is more beautiful than natural rosy cheeks. Improving blood flow brings the much-needed oxygen and nutrients for our skin cells. This helps in projecting a healthier glow. This also helps hydrate the skin reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. More importantly, however, is that facial treatment also help facilitate the more efficient removal of toxins and other metabolic waste products in the skin. This helps provide a healthier-looking and more youthful-looking skin.

Makes You Look and Feel Young (Again)

If you are already in your 40s you know that time is not on your side. The effects of aging can usually be felt around mid-30s when you will now start seeing sagging skin, age spots, and even wrinkles and fine lines especially on the face. While I do not necessarily recommend having Botox treatments or any other type of neuromodulator treatments, some individuals find comfort in these treatments especially in the management of sagging facial skin and wrinkles. For others, dermal fillers seem to work. The point is that facial rejuvenation treatments can make you look young again. Facial toning, photorejuvenation, and laser resurfacing can all help improve the overall appearance of your skin. Chemical peels and microdermabrasion can also help stimulate the skin to continue producing newer and healthier skin cells. This gives you a skin that is looking fresh and very youthful.

Makes You Feel Good about Yourself

The emotional benefits of facial treatments are simply incomparable. If people will be talking with you and they simply cannot take their eyes off you, I am sure deep inside you will be flattered as well. It is like nurturing your ego, making you feel good about yourself. This also helps in increasing your level of self-confidence. Overall, you become more active, engage in social interactions and activities more often, and more productive in your work. This helps endear you more to the people around you that they will always want to be close to you. Now, is this not an excellent way to be in this world?

Of course there are other benefits of undergoing facial treatment. Depending on what you want to achieve, facial treatments are here to help us feel and look good about ourselves as well as a host of other benefits.
