Do you get facials?

beachie · ‎10-12-2010

I love facials. Just went yesterday after a very long time and my skin is glowing. I used to go regularly when I was working, but now retired and have to watch those luxuries! But not sure if I should consider it a total luxury. I think my skin has been suffering and I did not realize it. It just looks so refreshed now. It was just a regular facial, not any peels ect. I think I need to try to budget this at least every other month. What is your opinion?

I used to get a facial once a month; my pores get congested very easily and quickly and I felt that it was the way to stay on top of it. I loved my esthetician and truly felt it was worth the money. This was about 4 or 5 years ago (about age 50). Then I read about the Clarisonic and decided to try that to see if it would be a way to save money in the long run. I reasoned I was spending about $100 per month with the spa specials on facials so if the Clarisonic worked I would pay for it quickly. I was not willing to give up my good skin so if it didn't work I planned to return it and stay with the facials.

I must say after only a month I realized the Clarisonic was fantastic for me. I truly feel that between using the Clarisonic daily with Purity cleanser, plus the Hope in a Jar, my skin is clear and bright, pores smaller and I feel as good as I did with the facials. I'm sure this wouldn't work for everyone, but it has been almost 5 years since I've had a facial and I feel like I don't miss it at all (except the pampering!!)

If you can afford the facial, of course, stay with what works for you. But, if you are looking for a way to cut expenses, maybe try the Clarisonic. I love it!

I would highly recommend the Clarisonic Mia; it has made a really noticeable improvement in my skin....if you prefer the luxury of someone else giving you a facial and can work it into your budget then by all means do that....you can get the Clarisonic Mia for about $100 now so it would definitely save you money in the long run over facials but it would also be good to use between trips to the spa.

I tried the clarisonic and it was too strong even with the sensitive head. She asked me if I had one yesterday. My face broke out and took two days for the red to go away. I don't know if I should try it again. Sure would save in the long run.

I've never had one in my life, which is weird considering I've loved all things Beauty and skin care for just about forever. Considering one in the new year.

Well, I don't think that sounds like it would be a good choice for you, then. I didn't have any issues at all right from the beginning so perhaps your skin is just too sensitive for the Clarisonic. I don't think I would keep trying it.

Never had one, but wouldn't mind trying one sometime.

I would love one monthly if it wasn't so expensive and was available at a nice place in town. Now I do it at home mostly, once a year at a spa if I'm lucky.
