Based on Our Experience with Clients, Who Come for Facial Treatment

When a client visits us for the first time for a facial treatment, the first thing that we do is ask a lot of questions. We need to ask those questions, to have a more holistic view upon what we should do coming up with a facial treatment proposal for the client.

We ask questions about age, work, habits, lifestyle, like food, workout, addictions, water intake, because this all has a direct and indirect effect on our skin quality, level of hydration and defines the aging process.

After having the questions answered, we look at the skin and study the skin from many different points of view, we assess the skin. Our clients usually come with an exact purpose , what they want to do with their skin.

Sometimes we can do what they want, sometimes we come up with a different proposal, either because there are other urgent matters we should address to, or because we need to heal the skin first as there is some irritation.

Asking those questions and seeing the skin quality of our clients we see a lot of things we should address in this post. A lot of people lack a proper facial routine and they expect a miracle from a single treatment.

You need to understand that a proper facial routine can slow down the aging process and yes, next to that you can go and have your regular facial with a beautician.

So, let me share with you some of the basic skin care routines that every man and woman should do on a weekly, daily basis:

1. Morning and evening cleansing with cleansing milk- you gently apply and even the milk on your face, neck and decollete, then wipe it off with a warm wet towel. You don’t need to use soap. This will remove dirt and greasiness from the skin’s surface.
2. After the cleansing milk you can apply a toner, that will hydrate and regulate the pH of the skin.
3. Use day cream in the morning- you can switch them
4. Use night cream in the evening- same applies
5. Gently massage your face daily, that will massively reduce the aging process
6. Serum on demand
7. Primer on demand below the make-up
8. Exfoliate once a week
9. Mask once a week after exfoliation

There are very important things to consider:

1. Always consider your skin type
2. Always consider the actual state of the skin
3. Always consider the main active ingredients and don’t just follow the marketing trends
4. Do your research, as you do it for yourself
5. Try out different things, follow your intuition and observe how your skin reacts to different products and creams

It can be challenging to apply a proper facial routine, so we advise that you introduce them step-by-step and try to stay consistent. Fortunately or unfortunately, as we age and see our face get older, we are more and more driven and motivated to take care of our facial skin.

Even after this you are still more than welcome for a facial treatment, facial massage and care in our lovely salon. If you feel stuck, or it is too much information, you need further advise, you are more than welcome in our salon!
