Our face is on the receiving end of everyday toxins, from flying dirt and germs, dust, particles, and sun exposure. Even though the hormonal actions of our body play a part, our skin can get affected with different conditions resulting in spots and acne. And even when you escape all these, there is still the inevitable impact of aging. All these can cumulatively make the skin unappealing.
Not anymore though! There are now lots of facial treatments and therapies that can rid your face of all these various toxins. Outside massages, facial treatments are the next best and popular ways of ridding your face from these “little bandits.”
Some of these facial treatments include;
-
Microdermabrasion
Best for wrinkles; it involves removing dead skin or layers on your skin through the use of small crystals. The procedure is quick, harmless, and almost instant. Many people also remove age spots and light acne scars with this method.

Chemical peeling (Dermaplaning)
Depending on the condition, or amount of skin to be exfoliated, a chemical solution is applied to the area. As the solution removes the old layer, the newer, softer, and smoother layer becomes visible. It is very effective for texture irregularities, fine lines, spots, and other conditions around the neck, face, and skin in general.
