Can Eczema Suffers go for facial? Yes of course! Unlike people with normal, combination or acne skin types we have a more tacky problematic skin to handle. It is however, still essential to go for regular facials so that our skin gets the moisture and cleansing it requires.
Do be cautious about the product the salon use on your skin and do let the doctor in charge know about your skin conditions, especially if they failed to have a proper facial analysis done before your facial takes place.
So, what are the types of facials which are suitable for an Eczema Sufferer? This post sums up some of my favorite facials which I've tried and found it most suitable for eczema/sensitive skin types in recent years. However, do note that they are based on my skin type and condition and in that particular point in time, and recommended suitable for me and my skin by the various face aestheticians of the respective establishments.
These facials may be suitable for me but may not be suitable for you, even if we have the same skin conditions. They are great for reference but I would still suggest you to go for a proper skin consultation with the aesthetic clinic or facial salon before you proceed with the facial session.
Hydrating Facials (E.g- Hydra Facial)
I've done various type of hydra facials in various facial salons. The most prominent ones that I noticed over my facial session is this particular HydraFacial making use of the Vortex-Fusion Technology.
For this type of facial, there are no harsh chemicals used, no extractions and no down time. They are also rather quick and suitable as a lunch time facial. The facial is mostly done by painless suction motions and your face can also be exfoliated, cleansed and protected with the vital nutrients it requires. The machine they use are similar same goes to the nutrient bottles. You can learn more about the Hydra Facial which I've most recently done back in 2018 here.
I've also done a similar hydra facial called the Signature Oxygen Facial sometime in 2017. My review can be found here. The difference in the facials is that you'll get an add on mask after the procedure so your facial time is slightly longer.
Thalasso CellActive Facial
In Greek, Thalasso refers to the sea and therapia refers to treatment. The basic principles of Thalassotherapy is therefore to use the healing properties of seawater together with advanced massage techniques to treat ailments.
The highlight of this facial is a lymphatic massage and the mask, which is made from active plant stem cells that encourage self-repair and slow down aging. It is very good for ladies with sensitive skin; it helps to rebuild the skin barrier so it is not so easily irritated by external agents. The massages can also possibly aid in lymphatic drainage that may reduce the incidence of eczema over time.
There is also no chemical peeling, no machines and no extractions used unlike a typical facial treatment done elsewhere. In this facial, there are no extractions because the Japanese believe that cleansing and healing should take place with quality cleansing products. Extractions damage the skin more than helping it, especially more so for sensitive and eczema skin.
There are many other facials in the market which are suitable for people with sensitive skin and Eczema sufferer, the key thing to look for is the products which are being used and if possible, the ingredients that are found in the products. The reputation of the clinic and doctor credentials are as important.
Do avoid facials that have excessive skin peeling, exfoliation and deep cleansing procedures as these may be too harsh for our skin. Gentle peeling and exfoliation using oxygen and water is fine.
While there are no absolutes in life, all these involves my personal experience, trial and errors, I hope that they'll benefit you as a fellow eczema sufferer. Eczema sufferers deserves to be beautiful too!
