Despite the trends on TikTok or what is making the rounds in the realm of beauty influencers, the secret to getting the most benefit out of your beauty products is really simple. And you want to get the most out of those products because on average, we spend more on skin care than any other area of personal care!
Exfoliation.
That’s it. One word.
Why you should include exfoliation in your beauty routine
You’re not getting the most out of your home care routine if you are not regularly exfoliating. If you never exfoliate, you are essentially applying expensive serums and moisturizers to dead skin. No matter how good a serum is, it can’t bring skin cells back from the dead! To make sure those treatments reach the skin they are intended for, you have to exfoliate.
Effective exfoliation depends on where the skin is located on your body and your age. Location matters because our skin varies in thickness. The skin on your back is some of your thickest skin (which is why Lykke Spa offers back facials) and can be exfoliated daily. Thinner skin, such as your face and neck, only requires exfoliation once or twice a week..
Younger skin regenerates faster. As we grow older, this process slows which makes it harder for those fancy products to do their job.
Regular facials are perfect for exfoliation
All facial appointments include some kind of exfoliation for a reason, and sometimes the best exfoliation method for your skin is best determined by a professional esthetician (like Sheree here at Lykke Spa!). There are appropriate methods for all types of skin, no matter how sensitive, that will save you money in the long run because you won’t be wasting products on dead skin.
Lykke Spa recommends monthly facials for any skin type. That’s why we now offer Spa Memberships for a 60-minute service every month plus a discount on organic hair, body, and skin care during the membership period.
