So
you want to look beautiful? Then take care of your face especially if you live
in an African country like Nigeria where you have repeated exposure to the sun.
Studies show that when we
recognize a face as "beautiful" we are actually making a judgment
about the health and vitality of that individual. We interpret facial symmetry
(the similarity of left and right halves of a face) and the smoothness of the
skin to mean that a person has good genes and has been free from diseases. In
those days of ignorance, it was the body size that Nigerians use to interpret
who is healthy or not. So people on the big side were regarded healthy and
skinny were considered sick. Thank God for the enlightenment of science. Now
most Nigerians know the skin (especially the face region) tells a lot about our
emotional, physical and psychological well being- so pamper it.
A professional facial is way more than a luxury – it is hygiene &
exercise for the skin. A facial treatment does for your skin what a month
of exercise and good nutrition does for your body – noticeably improve its look
and feel. Facial
treatment offers you the opportunity to work with a skincare specialist who
will analyze your skin, help you improve your complexion and show you how to
have proper home care for your skin. Through exfoliation,
deep-cleaning of the pores, stimulating improved circulation, and use of
professional-strength products, your aesthetician can make a lot of progress
towards improving your skin in a single session. Like the personal trainer, she
has experience, techniques, products and equipment that cannot be replicated at
home.
