Facial Before and After
Hydra Facial Before and After. A HydraFacial is a facial treatment that involves using a handheld device to remove dead skin and extract pore-clogging debris. It’s a safe and effective way to revitalize your skin.[1]
This treatment can be done on any skin tone or type and is appropriate for anyone looking to improve their complexion. It’s especially good for people with aging skin or those who have acne.
Tell-Tale Signs Of A Thirsty Skin
Feeling thirsty is one of the tell-tale signs of a dehydrated skin. But it isn’t the only symptom that your skin might show you – and it could be even more pronounced than you realize.[2]
When you’re not hydrated, your body loses water faster than it can replace it. That can cause a range of symptoms, from brain fog to dizziness and even fainting, which is why it’s so important to drink enough water.
Your skin is also made up of 64% water, so it’s particularly susceptible to dehydration. So if your skin is feeling thirsty, it’s important to do something about it before it becomes a bigger problem.
The tell-tale signs of dehydrated skin include dullness, tightness, increased sensitivity and rough texture. It can also leave you with dark undereye circles and fine lines.[3]
But don’t worry – it’s not as difficult to cure your skin’s thirst as it might sound. Here are some tips to help you get started:
1. Change your diet
A well-balanced diet that is rich in fruits and veggies will help your skin hydrate better from the inside out. It’s also best to cut out alcohol, salty foods and caffeine, which can contribute to dehydration.[4]
2. Use nourishing skincare products that are gentle on your skin and won’t strip it of its natural moisture.
3. Don’t be afraid to try new things.
Taking risks can be fun, but it’s always worth it in the end. Trying new skincare products that aren’t too harsh or drying can give your skin that healthy glow you’re craving.[5]
If you’re looking for a treatment that will help quench your thirsty skin, we recommend a Hydrafacial. This non-invasive facial uses patented technology to cleanse, extract and hydrate skin, leaving it smoother and more radiant than ever before.
Your Skin Is Made Of Water
Your skin is the largest organ in your body, made up of water, protein, fats and minerals. It protects your body from germs and helps regulate body temperature. It also allows you to feel sensations like warmth, cold, pressure, itching and pain.[6]
Your skin’s outer layer, called the epidermis (eh-pih-DUR-mis), consists of cells that produce keratin (ker-ah-tin), a substance that protects your skin from harmful factors like dirt and pollution. As you age, the epidermis sheds a lot of cells to make way for new ones.
In the dermis, the fatty layer below the epidermis, oil glands produce sebum (se-BAY-shus), which helps keep your skin moist and prevents it from getting dry and flaky. It also makes your skin waterproof, as long as it has a healthy supply of sebum.[7]
But if you don’t have enough sebum, your skin will feel dry and itchy. You need to balance your skin’s needs with what your skin produces on its own, so you can look and feel your best.
To do that, you can use a hydrating cream or serum. But before you do, make sure you’re drinking enough water to hydrate your skin properly.
The ideal kind of water to drink is lukewarm and has a pH level that ranges from 6.5-8.5. You should also avoid consuming too much alcohol and caffeine as they will dehydrate your skin even more.[8]
You should also reach for a face spray that is infused with ingredients that instantly re-energize and replenish lost moisture, like our Mineralize Charged Water Charcoal Spray. It’s loaded with ingredients that will immediately re-energize and replenish lethargic skin, while leaving a perfect canvas for makeup application.
The Water Charged Facial
A galvanic facial (also known as a “galvanic therapy” or “galvanic skin treatment”) is an advanced beauty treatment that uses electricity to boost your skin’s radiance. It also reduces signs of aging and improves hydration levels.[9]
The treatment includes a variety of steps, starting with an ion-rich cleanser and ending with an oxygen-infused moisturizer. It’s a good idea to start with a gentle cleanser, as the galvanic current can leave your skin feeling dry and tight.
After a thorough wash and towel-drying, you’ll apply the treatment gel. This is a special gel that contains anti-aging and other ingredients that penetrate deeper into your skin than traditional cleansers do.[10]
Next, you’ll use a tool with an electric current that pushes the product into your skin. While this can be a bit rough on your skin, it’s a great way to get some extra nutrients into your system and make sure the rest of your skincare products are working their best for you.
Once you’ve applied the treatment gel, set your timer (if your machine has one) and let it do its magic. It will likely take about 15 minutes, and you’ll feel like you just hit the spa without stepping foot inside.
The best part about this experience is that you can do it at home, so you don’t have to worry about a costly trip to the salon. Whether you have sensitive skin or want to treat yourself on a budget, this is the perfect solution![11]
How Does Hydra Facial Work?
A hydrafacial is a skin treatment that’s used to cleanse, exfoliate, and extract the skin. It’s a cult favorite for its ability to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, acne, and dark spots.[12]
This treatment works by removing dead skin cells, excess sebum and dirt from your pores with gentle extractions using a unique dual-chamber device. It also pumps soothing, hydrating serums into the newly-cleaned pores to further hydrate and soothe your skin.
It’s a great option for those who have sensitive or dry skin, and it can be used on any part of the body. This can include the face, neck, hands, and feet.[13]
First, a serum called Activ-4 is applied to your skin that generates a fluid vortex to gently remove dead skin cells and impurities from the skin’s surface. This is followed by the application of a glycolic and salicylic acid combination to break up the dirt, oil and debris that may be clogging your pores and causing blackheads.
Unlike other methods of facial extraction, which can leave your skin red and blotchy, the hydrafacial has no pain and is a very relaxing procedure that’s not as invasive as extractions. It’s also a good option for those who aren’t sure about undergoing facials but want to get their skin cleaned without any discomfort.[14]
After the cleansing and exfoliation steps, the esthetician will apply a series of boosters and serums that will be customized for your specific skin concerns. This can include products like salicylic acid, antioxidants, vitamin C, and more.
After the serum infusion step, your skin is primed to receive the maximum benefit from any skincare that follows. You’ll then be sent on your way with a fresh layer of skin, minus any blackheads or acne-prone pores.
Why Swap Your Salon Facial With HydraFacial
If you’re looking for an effective facial treatment that’s gentle and non-invasive, a hydrafacial might be the right option for you. It’s designed to improve the appearance of your skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and brighten the overall complexion.
The first step in the HydraFacial process is a deep-cleansing procedure that removes dead skin cells, dirt, and oil from your face. Next, a painless suction technique is used to extract clogged pores. This procedure also removes any impurities that have been left behind from makeup or environmental toxins.[15]
After the cleaning and extraction steps, a painless exfoliation method called dermabrasion is applied. This removes the top layer of dead skin to reveal fresh, new skin from underneath.
Once this is done, the skin is hydrated with an Anti-Ox solution that’s infused with powerful antioxidants and peptides to protect and rejuvenate your skin. This is then followed by a final treatment that includes steam, neck massage, and LED light therapy.[16]
This hydrating treatment is perfect for those with normal to dry skin who want to boost their glow before an important event like Christmas or New Year’s Eve. It can also be used as a monthly maintenance treatment to keep your skin soft and smooth.
The HydraFacial MD is a clinically proven, effective treatment that delivers visible results and long-lasting hydration. It has a powerful formula that reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and acne.[17]
If you’re looking to see real results from a HydraFacial, you should book one or more treatments at a licensed aesthetician or dermatologist’s office. They’ll be able to customize a specific treatment plan that will meet your unique needs and goals.
