Do you know the power your face hold? I didn't either until I started Aesthetics school a couple months back.. Considering that I am a Massage Therapist, I knew the body in general has its value, especially pertaining to the skin, but your face is something not to recon with! It tells a story, conceals your soul, and tells you a lot about a person.

Though, the history of where facials come from are unknown, I'm sure they go back to ancient times. It's part of self-care, and different techniques can derive from many different places. Most commonly, learning in school most techniques come from Europe. Essentially because in that area they are attracted to the Aesthetics aspect. What does Aesthetics mean?
*aes·thet·icesˈTHedik/adjective1 .concerned with beauty or the appreciation of beauty."the pictures give great aesthetic pleasure"noun1. a set of principles underlying and guiding the work of a particular artist or artistic movement."the Cubist aesthetic"

Facials consist of: Cleansing, exfoliating, extractions masking, peeling, massaging, and moisturizing. There are advance techniques such as steaming, light therapy, mirco-current, and other facial therapies to treat different skin conditions..
It is important to get facials regularly because they are therapeutic. They are much more relaxing than doing it at home. From steam gently penetrating your skin, to warm towels to open your pores and all you have to do is lay there. Pampering yourself for the betterment of your health is always good.You are also able to treat any skin conditions or concerns you may have. From dry/oil skin, pigmentation, and acne, the sky is the limit.
Finding the right Aesthetician for you will feel very rewarding in the long run; Establishing a connection with an Aesthetician that is able to increase your confidence, and enlighten you on self care will change your perspective.
