“I like to compare facials to teeth cleanings. Having them cleaned twice a year is better than not at all. Imagine your teeth without a professional cleaning…now imagine your pores,” says, Carrie Richman, Aesthetician, Oscar Bond Salon.

Not a sensitive skin, but know your skin type - Not an extravagance, but estheticians knew the art of pampering your skin to bring out the serenity hidden beneath. Skin test determines the type of skin and what it needs to shower it with a glow that turns heads.

Never mix up waxing and facial –Two contrary exfoliations takes place. Waxing takes off tan by doing away with dead cells. Applying bleach after brow waxing is just like stepping into hot springs, after steam bath.  Skin being waxed afresh is too sensitive, except for mild astringent or moisturizers.

It saves time but not that sense of inferno seeping then and there. If it’s waxing the first day, the next day is for relaxing facial treatment.

Professional facials is about massage – To put it in layman’s tongue, facial massage is another portal to drive away the toxins clogging one’s immune system. Just like the magic wand that helped the fairy to turn a mere fancy vegetable into an exotic pumpkin carriage.

Fish out for a facial treatment that comes with massage, along with a cool relaxing mask. Adding to it comes smoking, sleep disorder, unhealthy food and envy. More envious you get, more gaunted you look!

Let your esthetician know your medical history – Are you prone to acne ? Are you under asthmatic medication? A victim of oxy bleach?

Let your beautician know your medical history. To know what would be one’s signature spa, the esthetician should be well-versed with your health scale.
