The Difference Between a Facial and a Peel: What Is Right for You?

Understanding the Basics: Facials and Peels


A desirable skincare routine is an essential part of maintaining overall health and vitality. Facials and peels, two renowned skin-enhancement services, play significant roles in nurturing a healthy complexion. But how exactly do these treatments differ? How can you determine which service is optimally suited for your skin?


At Natural GLOW Rx, we're here to answer these looming questions and guide you to your very best skin.


Decoding the Facial


The facial, a luxurious cornerstone of skincare, involves a series of steps catered to replenish, cleanse, and rejuvenate your skin. At Natural GLOW Rx, we offer a range of distinct facial treatments, including the New Client GLOW Facial for first-timers, the all-inclusive Natural GLOW Custom Facial, the Gentlemen GLOW Facial tailored for men, and the Teen GLOW Facial designed explicitly for young skin.


Our Dermplane GLOW Facial, an advanced treatment, employs the gentle exfoliation technique known as dermaplaning to improve your skin's texture and appearance, while the Microderm GLOW Facial incorporates microdermabrasion for effective exfoliation.


Each facial involves a thorough skin analysis, cleansing, extractions, masks, and serums, making this routine ideal for those seeking comprehensive skincare maintenance.


Peeling Back the Layers


Unlike a facial, a skin peel, or a chemical peel, involves applying a chemical solution to the skin, which promotes the peeling of its upper layers. This process reveals rejuvenated, smoother, and less wrinkled skin beneath. Our Natural GLOW Custom Peels come in three levels, providing options that range from brightening to intensive corrective treatments.


This treatment is highly effective in combating hyperpigmentation, dark spots, melasma, freckles, and large pores. A peel might be a suitable choice for you if you're looking to target specific skin concerns and desire dramatic results.


Which is Right for You?


Identifying the right treatment depends primarily on your skin type, concerns, and objectives. If you're on a quest for routine upkeep and want to maintain your skin's vitality over time, a facial can be an excellent choice. Our customized facial treatments at Natural GLOW Rx address an array of skin needs, offering solutions for every skin type.


However, if you're aiming to resolve particular skin issues like hyperpigmentation, acne scars, or wrinkles, a peel might be your best bet. Peels provide a deeper level of treatment, addressing skin concerns more intensively. Moreover, our custom peel plans cater to different skin types and concerns, allowing us to provide the most effective solutions.


Considerations and Consultation


Both facials and peels provide numerous benefits, but it's essential to remember that everyone's skin reacts differently. While some may experience immediate results, others might require regular treatments. Furthermore, certain skin types may be more sensitive to specific treatments.


At Natural GLOW Rx, our qualified estheticians will conduct a thorough skin analysis before administering any treatment to ensure the optimal outcome for your skin.


In essence, whether you opt for a facial or a peel, the ultimate goal is to nurture a glowing complexion and healthier skin. By understanding the difference between these two treatments and considering your individual skin needs, you'll be well on your way to achieving your skincare goals.


Unearth the true potential of your skin; let us guide you on this transformative journey, one treatment at a time.
