Healthy Reasons to Get a Monthly Facial

Unfortunately, many people do not fully realize the extensive benefits that professional quality facial treatments can offer. Our team is here to help you understand how regular skin care can transform your complexion. Some of the main reasons to get a regular facial at our Ottawa beauty bar include smoothing fine lines and promoting collagen production while slowing the aging process.

These treatments also improve blood circulation under the skin and provide a deep exfoliation and cleaning that you simply cannot achieve at home. You will receive expert counseling on products from our certified aestheticians to help even your skin tone and lighten dark spots. Ultimately, you will leave with a healthier and more balanced complexion that glows.

Check out our blog post for more information on how to care for your skin before and after swimming to keep your results lasting even longer.

What more could you possibly want? Our unique and relaxing facial treatments use natural products that are sure to leave your skin glowing and radiant. Get ready to put your best face on display!

Facial FAQs

A facial is designed to exfoliate, cleanse, and nourish your skin to promote a healthier, clearer, and more hydrated skin complexion. Some of the main benefits of getting a regular facial include:

  • Improve Blood Flow
  • Unclog Pores
  • Reduce Wrinkles
  • Prevent Sun Damage
  • Promote Cell Renewal
  • And more!

It’s totally up to you and your personal preference – there’s no right or wrong answer for how often you should get a facial. However, we typically recommend getting a facial at least once a month as part of your skincare regimen for optimal results.

You should see noticeable results immediately following your first facial! After your facial, you’ll see smaller pores, smoother and even skin tones, and more radiant looking skin. If you incorporate a regular facial into your skin care routine, you should notice the results lasting longer each time.

Depending on which facial treatment you book here at Smudge, the appointments can range from 30 minutes to 75 minutes. Whether you want a quick pick-me-up or a longer more relaxing appointment, we’ve got options perfect for everyone. Contact us today to help decide on a facial treatment that is perfect for your skin type.

Yes! There are a variety of different facials and skin treatments we offer here at Smudge Beauty Bar that can be beneficial for acne. Our Pro Skin 60 + Extractions facial is deeply cleansing, detoxifying, and will have you feeling amazing once you leave the salon.

This is a common question in the world of skincare, and the answer is “ideally no”. It’s strongly recommended to at least wait until the day after your treatment before applying makeup – it’s the best way to prevent skin irritation and potential breakouts.

There’s nothing that you really need to do to prepare for a facial treatment. We can remove your makeup for you! Although, if you can remove your makeup prior to your appointment, we can spend more focused time on the results driven elements of your facial.

There is no “one size fits all” solution to getting youthful, radiant, and clear skin. However, our team of skincare professionals can recommend products based on your specific skin complexion to help you maintain your glowing skin for longer. We’re here to help you maintain healthier skin!

With so many different skin types, It can be difficult to decide which facial or skin treatment might be best for you. If none of the facials on our page resonate with you, give us a call anytime at (613) 680-2309! We’d be happy to ask a few questions about your skin type and provide you with a recommendation.

After a facial, it’s extremely important to follow a few guidelines to make sure your skin is protected and looking the best it can! After your facial, our Dermalogica Certified Skin Therapists will give you a few suggestions to follow, but here are a few things you can expect to do once your facial is complete:

  • Avoid major sun exposure and use sunblock
  • Avoid harsh skincare products
  • Drink plenty of water and stay hydrated
  • Avoid sweating a few hours after your facial treatment
