An aesthetician at a day spa can provide an assortment of treatments for your facial and body skin. Some of these day spa services include:   · Exfoliation – removal of dry skin cells · Facials – cleansing or anti-aging · Extractions – eliminating blackheads or pimples 

Apply the Right Variety of Moisturizer

Moisturizing skin treatments are also popular, especially in the autumn and winter as the temperature begins to drop. There are four types of moisturizers available at local drugstores or online retailers, including: · Occlusives – formulated to seal in your skin's natural moisture · Ceramides – helps to prevent aging on your face and body · Emollients – smoothing your skin's texture  · Humectants – improves your skin's hydration  Moisturizing skin daily is important for everyone, but you must understand your skin's type in order to choose the best serums, creams or lotions. /

Understand Your Skin's Type 

The best way to understand your skin's type is by visiting a day spa for an evaluation. An aesthetician can analyze your skin's type while performing a facial. There are several types of skin that include: · Dry – you will have patchy and flaky skin · Oily – your skin feels oily several times a day · Sensitive – you can't use products with dyes or fragrances · Combination – some areas of your skin are dry while others are oilier  · Normal – your skin is perfect without dryness or oiliness 

Apply Moisturizer After Showering or Bathing 

Helping you choose the appropriate products for moisturizing your skin is part of an aesthetician's day spa services. It is important to apply moisturizing products each day before your skin has any signs of dryness. Experts recommend applying lotions, creams or serums to your skin after bathing or showering before you have patted yourself dry with a towel.
