improve your skin tone with our must-try facial treatments
Between running from home, to work, to school, and your kids soccer practice, life can get pretty hectic. Our skincare professionals believe that between all of life's responsibilities, it’s important to make time for self care. One of our favorite ways to practice self care is with our hour long facial treatment.
At Gameela Skin, we offer customized facial treatments for both men AND women. During your appointment our esthetician will use a variety of skin care products, massage techniques and equipment to give you cleaner, healthier, and more radiant-looking skin. From cleansing, to extractions, enzyme treatments, exfoliation and more - your treatment and the selected products will be 100% customized to your skin type and any skin concerns you might have. All of our facials will infuse the skin with nourishing ingredients to help strengthen and restore the skin’s barrier function to leave you feeling confident, healthy, and refreshed.
To enhance your facial, we recommend adding a dermaplaning treatment to your service to remove dead skin cells and unwanted facial hair. Dermaplaning will enhance the absorption of masks, oxygen and your skincare products, which will make them much more effective. Pairing a facial and a dermaplane together has become increasingly popular as many clients are able to see almost immediate results without any pain or downtime.

What to know before getting a facial
How Often Should You Get A Facial?
In general, our skincare specialists recommend getting a facial about every three to four weeks (or once per month). Your skin’s life cycle of moving through cell growth and exfoliation is about 30 days long. Getting a facial once a month will help move this life cycle along and help maintain that beautiful glow.
What To Expect From A Facial?
We are strong believers in the power of the facial and the improvements your skin will see by adding a facial to your monthly skincare routine. Our facials are customized for each client but the process generally is as follows:
#1
A consultation to discuss your skin concerns.
#2
We’ll cleanse the skin to start with a clean canvas.
#3
Exfoliation. This helps the skin shed dead skin cells, allowing our products to be better absorbed by the skin.
#4
Steam & Extractions! Extractions involve using a sterile tool to rid your skin of blackheads and whiteheads.
Steam helps open up your skin’s pores which makes it easier for blackheads and whiteheads to be removed.
#5
A face mask. We will apply a customized face mask to address your skin type/skin concerns.
#6
Massage and Moisturize. Almost all facial treatments end by massaging a selected moisturizer into the skin to leave your skin feeling rejuvenated!
With the right products and techniques, monthly facials with Gameela Skin will help improve skin texture, hydration, your complexion, and will reduce breakouts.
How Long After A Facial Can You Wash Your Face?
We can’t express enough how important it is to wash your face! Washing your face daily with a cleanser and water keeps your skin hydrated and clean. However, during your facial your esthetician has already performed the deep cleansing and exfoliation that you might otherwise do daily/weekly. That being said - If you can, we recommend waiting until the morning following your appointment to wash your face. It is also important to avoid any harsh scrubs or exfoliators for at least 48 hours following your appointment.
How Long Does It Take To Recover From A Facial?
Overall, there is no downtime to recover from a regular facial.
However we do have a few do’s/don’t to practice in the days following your appointment.
Avoid the following 24 hours after your facial:
Picking at your skin (well, you should always avoid this), applying makeup, exfoliators, the sauna, and heavy workouts/sweating.
Avoid the following 48-72 hours after your facial:
Heavy exfoliators, acne products or at home skin treatments, and the sun! You should always wear sunscreen, but in the days following your facial your skin is extra sensitive. Avoid the sun as much as possible. If you need to be in the sun, consult our esthetician to find a sunscreen that works for your skin type!
How Long Before An Event Should You Get A Facial?
Our skincare experts recommend against getting a facial right before an event. Depending on your skin type, facial treatments can sometimes cause your skin to look worse before it looks better. The best time to get a facial before an event is about one week prior. This will allow any irritation, or blotchiness time to fade so your skin will look its best. To schedule a facial before your wedding, graduation, vacation, etc. contact the skincare professionals at Gameela Skin!
