Even though I’m an Esthetician I still love facials!
Do I take care of my own skin? Of course I do! I do some peels, extractions, occasional Microcurrent, Diamond Abrasion On myself and of course use great home are products. But I can’t do everything on myself and it’s still awesome to have a facial from someone else!
What do I or would I look for when having a facial and picking an Esthetician to do my facial?
First of all I might want to know an Estheticians educational background and experience.
Is she pursuing more education? Is she taking classes and learning new ways to do things? So important, because things in this industry change a lot. Almost 3 years ago, I went back to school to learn and be licensed to teach student Estheticians. And, I take advanced classes also.
Is she looking for new treatments and products for her clients? I’m at an age where I am looking for the best in anti-aging products for myself and my clients, also for acne and for normal skin maintenance.
Does she try the products and treatments on herself before using them on you? Every treatment that I perform in my business is thoroughly researched for effectiveness and is customized for you. I do try them on myself because I want to know what you can expect and the results you will get.
Does she she want to see positive changes in your skin? Besides finding out what your skin is like, what products you use, medications you take, during a consultation or skin analysis, it’s in the Estheticians best interest to consult with you to find the realistic changes you and she want to see in your skin.
Does she use quality equipment? I believe in investing in the best equipment I can find and wouldn’t use anything less than that on myself or my clients because I want them to have the best results possible, with high quality and the latest technology.
Does she care about your results? Is she following up with you after a treatment?
So, let’s talk about the facial part. My personal reason for having a facial would be for de-aging and cleansing. I’m interested in anything I can do (short of surgery) that will deter the signs of aging. I want to know that my facial is customized for my skin, That the Esthetician will suggest different treatments we can try to achieve my skincare goals. That the products used will have a transforming effect on my skin. And, that eventually will have positive changes in the clarity, look and texture of my skin. I want to keep my skin youthful looking for as long as possible!
