Do facials work?
Ah. Gotcha. Most of them sound pretty good aside from the perfume. I’ll never understand why companies do that. Why the heck do they think everything has to have a strong smelly good smell? Well, as someone who makes organic bath and body products, I can tell you it’s because unscented products don’t sell worth a damn. 🙂 I make a soap, a lotion bar and a scrub that are all unscented, and I’ve never sold one. Not one. I’ve just recently donated the entire stock of unscented product to the local women’s shelter so it wouldn’t go rancid before it got used. There’s no call for it, I’m not going to keep it in stock, although I’ll make it if someone requests it.

It depends on what kind of facial you’re talking about. If it’s just a soothing one where the aesthetician or facialist cleans your skin, applies nice smelling products, and pampers you for a few hours, then not really. Those kinds of facials are more relaxing and luxurious than effective. They might give you a glow for the day, but that’s about it.

These procedures can help improve some skin conditions, but more than one treatment is usually necessary to see results. They don’t perform any short-term miracles. Be aware that you don’t come out looking pretty from any of these procedures either. Most likely you’ll be red and blotchy for a few hours or even a few days. If you are getting more intensive facials, you must make sure whoever is giving you the treatments (dermatologist, plastic surgeon, or aesthetician) is a reputable one
