Different types of facials and their benefits

When many people think of facials, they picture relaxing with a thick layer of a DIY face mask and cucumber slices over their eyes. In reality, there are numerous types of facial treatments available, catering to various skin types and conditions. To ensure you choose the right facial for your skin type and needs, it’s advisable to book a consultation with an aesthetician before trying any of these treatments.

Getting a treatment every 2-4 weeks can help maintain skin health. However, this is just a good skincare regimen to follow, it may not provide the dramatic results achievable with more advanced treatments. You can schedule a classic facial at the Lintons Spa.
