03 Dec 8 Myths About Skincare and Facials
We are here to MYTH BUST skincare and facial concerns and why regular skincare appointments are just as important as monthly massage! Let’s talk about the the 7 most common myths about skincare and facials:
MYTH #1 Facials hurt
Skin does need exfoliation, it’s about the progressive cumulative effect of regular facials for best results versus an being overly aggressive all at once. Using a holistic approach deep peels are not on the menu. Our estheticians are careful to be gentle and check in with your comfort level throughout the process especially with extractions that might not always be pleasant.
MYTH #2 A single facial will be my miracle cure
While sometimes a massage or skincare service may feel like magic and can get great results in one service, facials are meant to be preventive and corrective and the effects are cumulative. Since our skin cycle is about 28 days the effects of a facial to show their results over time.
MYTH #3 You can do the same treatment at home for much less
“I can wash my face at home” REALLY? when was the last time you spent one hour dedicated to your face. Don’t know about you but the facial massage alone is worth the wrinkle reduction. If you’ve had a facial before you know that you won’t get the same results at home like you do professional esthetician. Through a skincare analysis our licensed skincare specialists will determine your course of facial treatments and product recommendations.
MYTH #4 Once a year is enough for a facial
MAKE THE SKIN-VESTMENT! That is if you want faster and longer-lasting results it’s through making the investment to commit to several treatments. Our Club Tao membership includes a monthly skincare benefit! When you combine a professional facial with your at home routine YOU ACTUALLY SAVE MONEY versus purchasing and using a bunch of products that don’t deliver results!
MYTH #5 I broke out from facial once and will never have one again!
OK, so this happened to us at a vacation spa. We swore no more facials. We made sure that experience would not happen at Tao. There are lots of reasons that you could break out. At Tao we ensure through a thorough skincare analysis that we are using the right product combination for your skin type, and as mentioned in MYTH #1 performing extraction properly and at the right time to limit unnecessary reactions to nearby skin.
MYTH #6 Facial massage is just fluff
OMG, NO WAY! Telling you the “11s” significantly fade after a facial. Part of our facial is facial massage which actually increases circulation and encourages product penetration & facial cupping helps product penetrate even more! The massage will help drive ingredients deep into your skin helping to correct skin concerns.
MYTH #7 I can do my own extractions
As mentioned in MYTH #5 our skincare specialists are trained to work with blemishes at just the right time. Improper “home extractions” with dirty finger or unsanitized metal extractors generally cause more damage to the skin via spreading infection where there wasn’t before.
MYTH #8 Scrubbing solves all of my skin problems
You’d be surprised which skin types need more or less exfoliation. Common commercial scrubs are too harsh for the fine facial epidermis. You will get professional recommendations for your home care exfoliation products during your facial at Tao.
