It used to be that when someone would mention getting a facial, it was just cleaning the skin and maybe a massage over the face. Maybe even a make up application afterward. But now, there are so many types of facials, it can get very confusing when trying to decide on the best one for the time of year it is or for looking your best at an event.

Some facials can leave you immediately looking bright and glowing and others can leave your skin irritated and red. Knowing what each involves and what the end result will be is of the utmost importance when choosing your facial.

There are three main components to facials; there is exfoliation, extraction, and massage. Many different methods might be used to achieve the desired results, but all are adequate for doing the job.

Exfoliation is the removal of the dead skin cells that are still clinging to the outer most layer of skin. When done correctly, this process can rejuvenate tired looking skin and leave it looking almost younger or healthier. However, the delicate skin on the face can be over exfoliated and damaged if one is not careful.

There are two ways to exfoliate: manually with a strong scrubbing agent and chemically thanks to peel procedures. The manual method is to use some sort of abrasive material, such as oatmeal or sugar to scuff of the dead skin cells. This can irritate the skin if done too long or too rough. Microdermabrasion is another technique used in mechanical exfoliation, but is consider harsher and needed less often.

The chemical method of exfoliation is to spread an enzyme or type of mild acid on the skin and let it loosen the dead skin cells. Although there isn’t rubbing or scrubbing with this technique, some solutions used in chemical exfoliation can irritate sensitive or thin skin. Consulting a professional before getting your peel will help you know which kind to choose.

Extraction during a facial is the removal of blackheads and whitehead from the skin. People with extreme problems with large pores and chronic acne can benefit from this type of facial. However, it can be painful and leave the skin irritated. Sometimes, it will depend on the person doing the extraction as to how much damage is done, if any.

Massages done during facials are more for relaxation and well-being. They may be combined with the other types of facials or done alone. This is probably the most popular facial, since it feels good and has essentially no potential risk to the skin of the face.

Whichever facial you choose, be sure to talk to an experienced skin care specialist. They will be your best source of information and help you make an informed decision about the health of your skin.

It’s the single most popular reason to stop by any salon – a new hairstyle that you’ll love. Yet in many cases, individuals leave wholly unsatisfied with their new style. The reason typically doesn’t hinge on poor service or an unqualified stylist, either. More often than not, the reason behind your dissatisfaction with your new style is your own communication and demeanor. These tips, though, will help you get the salon haircut you’ll love every time.

1. Be Respectful and Make an Appointment: Sure, some salons have a walk-in policy, but your stylist is likely to feel rushed throughout the session. If you make an appointment, he or she will have time to better focus on your needs instead of the next individual coming through the door. That said, however, you have to treat your stylist well. He or she is literally holding your appearance hostage, so be respectful at all times.

2. Listen to Your Stylist’s Suggestions: You’re paying this individual to help you look great, and ignoring the suggestions he or she has to offer is a bad idea. Trained to understand what does and doesn’t look good on particular individuals, your stylist may have some surprising suggestions that could change your appearance for the better.

3. Bring a Photo: If you have a hairstyle in mind that you really like, a photo is the best way to describe what you like about a particular cut. If you bring a photo by, though, don’t forget to be realistic as well. For example, if your hair is a bit thinner than you’d like, some styles just aren’t going to work out well with your hair. If you’re not sure what you want, but you think a photo might help, feel free to browse picture galleries online to track down what you’re after.

4. Tip Well: If your stylist does a nice job with your hair, don’t forget to leave him or her a generous tip. Not only do you virtually guarantee you’ll get great service the next time you walk in the door, but you’re also showing your appreciation for the individual’s hard work. Fifteen to twenty percent is expected, so if they’ve done a great job, don’t forget to add a bit more to that number.

Getting a hairstyle you’ll truly appreciate certainly depends on finding the right stylist, but it’s often more than that. Good communication on your part can go a long way toward the style you’re looking for, and good behavior (like extra tips) can only add to that process.
