When most people think of getting a facial, or a facial massage, they think that such a treatment can/should only be done as part of a spa day. Let's be honest here; most people, if they are lucky, get to visit a spa once a year. Do you think a facial needs to be that irregular?
There is more to getting a facial than simply relaxing, although that is a big part of it. At Utopia Boutique, we think that if more people invested in facials more regularly, there would be an abundance of glowing skin, happy people, and less stress. What's not to like about that?
So, here, we have compiled a list of 5 signs that you need a facial massage.
1. You Are Stressed
In 2024, stress is a common occurrence, so much so that most people associate it with being successful which is, frankly, not true and is a worrying mindset.
Untreated and unmanaged, stress can lead to mental health issues and poor immune system function. If you have been feeling the physical signs of stress, such as headaches, tummy upset, or sleep issues, then call our beauty salon Oxford to book a facial massage. It will help you to feel better.
2. Your Skin is Tight
The muscles in your face are always working, even if you maintain a neutral facial expression for most of the day. One of the reasons why washing your face and moisturizing it is so important is because it helps to relax the skin and the muscles, via a mini massage.
If you feel that the skin on your face is tight, then it's time to book a facial. Our expert team can do a deep tissue massage on your face, to relax muscles and to help the skin become looser and more relaxed.
3. You Are Breaking Out
Break outs, acne, and other spot-related issues are not only stressful, but they can also cost a fortune in make up to cover them up for work.
If you have been having excess break outs in recent times, call our team at Utopia Boutique. We will be able to put together a massage session for your face, which will reduce the redness of the spots, unclog the pores and help your skin to calm a bit.
4. You Have Fluid Retention
Yes, you can get fluid retention on your face, and it is usually around the eyes.
If your upper lids are puffy, or you have bags or dark circles that won't quit, our team can help by applying pressure to these areas to gently release the fluid, and create a smoother look.
5. Your Skin is Excessively Dry
Dry skin on the face is a common complaint, and, if you have spent a small fortune on moisturisers and oils to no avail, then it may be time for a facial.
A facial can help to reintroduce moisture to the skin via massage, and can also open blocked pores, which can cause dry skin. A blocked pore cannot release the skin oil sebum, which can lead to patches of dry skin, as well as blackheads and spots.
