The ingredients used in a Glow Facial can vary depending on the specific treatment and skin type, but here are some common ingredients that are typically included:
Vitamin C: Known for its brightening properties, Vitamin C helps to reduce dark spots, even out skin tone, and promote a radiant complexion.
Hyaluronic Acid: A powerful hydrating ingredient that plumps the skin by retaining moisture, making it appear smoother and more youthful.
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): This ingredient helps to reduce inflammation, minimize pores, and improve skin texture, contributing to a glowing appearance.
Glycolic Acid: An alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) used for exfoliation, it removes dead skin cells and promotes the growth of new, healthy skin, enhancing the skin’s glow.
Peptides: These amino acids help boost collagen production, improve skin elasticity, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Antioxidants: Ingredients like green tea extract, resveratrol, and Vitamin E protect the skin from environmental damage and free radicals, promoting a healthy, glowing complexion.
Botanical Extracts: Natural plant extracts like aloe vera, chamomile, and licorice root soothe the skin, reduce redness, and add a natural glow.
Collagen: Some facials include collagen-boosting ingredients or masks to help firm and plump the skin, giving it a youthful, glowing appearance.
Lactic Acid: Another AHA, lactic acid gently exfoliates the skin, improving its texture and brightness.
Brightening Agents: Ingredients like kojic acid or licorice extract are used to lighten hyperpigmentation and enhance overall skin radiance.
The frequency of your Glow Facial will depend on your skin type and concerns. As a general rule, it’s recommended to get a Glow Facial once every 4-6 weeks for optimal results.
It’s recommended to avoid wearing makeup for at least 12 hours after a Glow Facial to allow the skin to fully absorb the nourishing products and continue reaping the benefits of the treatment.
While a Glow Facial can benefit all skin types, it’s important to choose a treatment that is tailored to your specific concerns and skin type. The esthetician will work with you to create a customized treatment plan that addresses your unique needs.
To prepare for your Glow Facial, it’s recommended to avoid using any harsh or active skincare products for at least 24 hours before the treatment. This will help ensure that your skin is in its best possible condition for the facial.
To maintain the results of your Glow Facial, it’s important to continue practicing good skincare habits such as cleansing twice daily, using sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher, and incorporating products containing vitamin C and retinol into your routine as recommended by your esthetician.
