Every day our skin fights dust, pollution, dark spots and apparent approaching age and with each passing day, we move a little closer to significant aging signs. We know it’s hard to keep up with all these external forces while struggling to maintain the peace within. However, there are minor things that will not only rejuvenate your skin, but, will also slow the aging signs, returning your skin to its youthful glory.

This is the least you can do; however, there are times when your skin will need more, like a skin spa or facial.
In this post, we will share how to choose a facial depending on your skin and its needs, along with different types of facials.
How To Choose Facial Best Suited To Your Skin?
Choosing the right facial is very important, or it will do nothing to your skin, or worse, it will lead to adverse effects. Generally, you can choose a facial depending on your skin type; normal, dry, oily, sensitive or combination.
For Dry Skin
Choose a facial that focuses on moisturizing effects. Make sure that the facial you choose includes deep cleansing, moisturizing and steam treatment. For most benefits, you can opt for a moisturizing mask or serum to finish off and lock away all the moisture in your skin.
Note: Avoid too much and too regular exfoliation and guarantee no extracts are used for the facial, lest your skin becomes further dry.
For Oily Skin
Oily skin is known for its excess sebum production and is prone to pimples and acne. While choosing a skin spa or facial for oily skin, remember your basic requirements. Do you suffer from acne and want to address the same or simply want to control the sebum production of your skin? Focus on the facials that have natural extracts, targets pores and focuses on deep cleansing. Face masks are a great way to shrink the pores, resulting in low sebum production. Your dermatologist or facial provider will let you know the best facial for your skin.
For Sensitive Skin
People with sensitive skin should pay utmost care to what they are using on their skin. A facial is no different and needs thorough research. You should avoid facials with Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) and exfoliates, as they can irritate the skin. Go for gentle massage facials that have ingredients like chamomile and green tea. Some other facials, like oxygen and hydrating facials can be an excellent option for you.
Note: Since your skin is highly sensitive, make sure to do a patch test before going all out, and also tell your dermatologist or facial provider about any kind of chemical your skin is allergic to.
For Normal Skin
Normal skin types are blessed with no particular skin issue or condition. Your skin may need different things at different times of the year. Generally, dullness caused by stress and pollution is the most concerning issue. So, you can opt for a hydrating face massage, enjoy the face therapy and let your skin soak all the moisture.
