An aesthetician is a skin-care specialist who does facial skin analysis and treatment. Natural skin care not only includes having facials and doing appropriate skin care maintenance, but also using the most beneficial products for your specific skin type and condition. Of course, adequate sleep, exercise, and nutrition are also essential ingredients for good skin care.
Skin is the largest organ in the body. Among its many other duties, it is responsible for our temperature control, physical protection, moisture regulation, metabolism, detoxification, and storage of fat. It also converts ultraviolet rays into vitamin D which helps calcium get absorbed, and so maintains strong bones. The appearance of your skin reflects your internal state of health.
Skin is a living organ that absorbs whatever products are used on it. Any products on the skin can be absorbed into the bloodstream. Because of that, it is best to use products that are free of toxins such as solvents, petroleum-based ingredients, artificial fragrances and artificial dyes.
During a skin care consultation, a skin analysis will be performed to determine your skin type. Then, there will be a discussion of your current skin care regime, and what you hope to accomplish with this session. The aesthetician will do a deep cleansing of your face. This may include exfoliation, the use of steam to soften the skin, the application of creams, lotions, cleansers, masks, peels, and massage. Also, you will be advised about skin care at home and products for home use.
