If you’ve never gotten a facial before, now is the perfect time. A facial is the perfect way to give your skin a little bit of a pick me up. A little bit of TLC will go a long way to ensuring that your skin looks good for a really long time. Why is winter the perfect time to get a facial? You may think that summer is the ideal time for your skin to get that bit of extra pampering, because of the sunscreen and sweat that are clogging up your pores. Honestly, it’s always a perfect time to cleanse your skin and give it a fresh start. But your skin needs a facial during the harsh winter months.

Moisture, moisture, moisture

 

The truth of it is that during the winter months, your skin gets dry. It gets so, so dry. This may seem surprising, because winter is usually accompanied by a lot of moisture in the form of snow fallen on the ground. But it’s the intense cold that comes with that snow that dries out your skin. You have to counteract that dryness with a lot of moisture, and a facial is the best way to do this. By applying products for maximum moisture, and massaging them into the skin, you’re able to increase blood flow and promote optimum absorption of the products. That additional moisture is essential to ensuring that your skin survives until spring.

 

Dead skin build up

 

Dry skin turns into dead skin really quickly. Dead skin sitting on your face means that the everyday products you’re putting onto your skin aren’t being absorbed as well as they could be or should be. It also means that none of your skincare products, or makeup, will go on very smoothly. If you’ve ever tried to put makeup on over dry, flaky skin, you’ll know exactly what we’re talking about. You don’t want to see that the makeup is sitting on top of your skin, you want it to look like they are one. Dry skin makes that task entirely impossible. A facial will give you the ultimate exfoliation, and when coupled with that hydration, will leave you with the perfect palette for better skincare and makeup application.
