The Best Facial for Your Skin Type

Today is a great day to take care of your skin!

Spa appointments for facials were once seen as a luxury reserved for a special occasion. While facials are still a great way to reward yourself, take off some stress, or celebrate, facials are also a considerable part of an impactful skincare routine. Routine facials can help with specific skin concerns such as texture, unevenness, and acne.

With so much information out there about skincare and facials, we know it can be hard to keep up. Plus, there are many options, so we understand that finding the right facial can sometimes be challenging. But don’t worry – the estheticians here at Refresh-ology Aesthetics and Massage Therapy will share their years of experience and knowledge and provide you with everything you need to know before, during, and after your appointment.

If you want some guidance, this blog will walk you through the types of facials we recommend for common skin types and concerns. Some people have multiple skin types, so we may even mix and match treatments for the best results. Our team here at Refresh-ology prides itself on providing custom treatments to meet all your needs. 


1. Dry Skin

Do you feel like your face can never get enough moisturizer? If so, you may benefit from a facial that focuses on hydration. Our signature facial will deep cleanse without pulling out any essential oils that your skin needs when it is dry. Our estheticians will exfoliate to rid your skin of any flakiness or dry patches. Masks and serums will be applied with ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, which is proven to hydrate the deep layers of the skin. The facial finishes off with moisturizer and skin protection to leave you with plump, glowing skin when you walk out the door. If you are looking for an extra boost, try our microdermabrasion treatment. It is known to help minimize the appearance of fine lines which are prominent in dry skin. 

2. Sensitive Skin

Sometimes it feels as if nothing can calm sensitive skin. This is where our talented and knowledgeable team comes in. Estheticians have tried and true products, ingredients, and techniques to soothe, hydrate, and tackle the most challenging concerns of sensitive skin. Since our Signature facial is curated for each client, that is a perfect starting point for sensitive skin. It can tackle environmental damage, rosacea, acne, natural disposition, or a combination of multiple sensitivity factors. If you are looking for a slightly stronger treatment, our estheticians suggest adding on an enzyme. It is safe for sensitive skin with ingredients such as alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) for light exfoliation and Manuka honey for anti-inflammatory effects. 

3. Congested or Oily Skin

Many of us suffer from constant breakouts, blackheads, and oily skin. Our Signature Organic Facial can help. We start with cleansers that deep clean both oil and buildup. Then exfoliation takes place that helps to clean out pores. This is a power player when it comes to congestion. Our estheticians will perform extractions to help clear skin and minimize the risk of acne scarring. A relaxing mask and facial massage will follow to calm the skin. Lastly, we’ll add a layer of hydration and protection. We also recommend trying our Epicuren Pumpkin Peel. It is the perfect treatment to address acne. Pumpkin is one of the highest natural sources of Vitamin A and phytonutrients crucial for cell turnover. When your skin cells turn over quickly, you’ll notice a decrease in skin congestion.

4. Teen Skin

The teenage years are already tough enough; we don’t need skin concerns making it any more stressful. Our estheticians have come up with a specialized treatment that’s ideal for teens. This treatment is for everyone, whether focusing on basic skincare needs or acne control. It takes about 45 minutes and is helpful for all genders. This treatment starts with a deep cleaning, followed by a light exfoliation, a facial massage to get the lymphatic drainage moving, and a personalized mask. It finishes with moisturizer and skin protection. Along the way, we will educate the client on how to take care of their skin and why it is important. 

5. Discolored Skin

Many of us deal with discoloration such as sun damage, melasma, or redness. No matter the source of discoloration, we find that skin can be treated with exfoliation. Our unique exfoliation treatments are designed to remove dead skin cells and speed cell turnover. With this process, your skin will start to even in skin tone and restore a healthy glow. Refresh-ology estheticians exfoliate in two ways, physically and chemically. If you prefer physical, try a microdermabrasion treatment series. If you prefer chemical exfoliation, try out a peel series. One of our favorites for uneven skin tone is the Body Deli Palm Springs Peel. 


Facials are the perfect way to pamper yourself while helping you put your best face forward. We look forward to helping you find the best skincare routine for your skin types and concerns.

Top 5 Reasons to Try Ashiatsu Massage

By Alida Lee • 03 May, 2021
Ashiatsu massage is a unique technique where our specially educated massage therapists use their feet to apply deep pressure to your body. It’s often called a barefoot massage. Our therapists’ methods allow the deep tissues, joints, and muscles to be massaged while easing the nervous system. This technique feels like a mesmerizing massage with deep, broad, pressured strokes and no pain.
