Why Facials Matter – Especially After 35
Let’s be honest: your skin at 40 isn’t your skin at 25. Cell turnover slows, collagen production decreases, and the Texas sun hasn’t done you any favors. But here’s the good news – professional facials can make a dramatic difference in how your skin looks and ages. Our Arlington clients see real, measurable improvements.
- Professional-Grade Results: Our treatments use products and techniques that simply aren’t available over the counter. You’ll see and feel the difference from your very first facial at Boncomb Beauty.
- Customized to Your Skin: No two faces are the same. We analyze your skin’s current condition and concerns, then tailor every product and technique accordingly. Your esthetician remembers your skin history and adjusts each visit – no need to explain yourself every time.
- Expert Extractions: Attempting extractions at home often leads to scarring and irritation. Our estheticians have the tools and training to clear congestion safely and effectively.
- Cumulative Benefits: While you’ll see immediate results, the real magic happens with consistent treatments. Regular facials help maintain clarity, slow visible aging, and keep your skin functioning at its best.
- Texas-Specific Concerns: Sun damage, dehydration from air conditioning, humidity-related congestion – we understand the unique challenges Arlington skin faces and address them head-on.
- Standing Appointments: Many of our clients schedule facials every 4-6 weeks alongside their regular hair appointments. It’s just handled – consistent care without having to remember to book.
Frequently Asked Questions About Facials
How often should I get a facial?
For optimal results, we recommend a professional facial every 4-6 weeks – this aligns with your skin’s natural cell turnover cycle. However, even quarterly facials make a noticeable difference. During your appointment, we’ll discuss a realistic schedule based on your skin goals, concerns, and lifestyle. Many of our Arlington clients set up standing appointments and pair facials with their regular hair services – one visit, complete self-care, and it’s just handled automatically.
What is dermaplaning and is it safe?
Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation technique using a sterile surgical blade to gently remove dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the surface of your skin. It’s completely safe when performed by a trained professional and suitable for most skin types. The result? Instantly smoother, brighter skin and better product absorption. And no – the hair does not grow back thicker or darker. That’s a myth. Learn more on our Dermaplaning Facial page.
Will I break out after a facial?
Some clients experience minor “purging” after their first facial – this is actually a sign that the treatment is working, bringing congestion to the surface. It typically resolves within a few days. To minimize this, avoid heavy makeup for 24 hours post-treatment and follow the aftercare instructions we provide. We’re always honest about what to expect – if you have an important event, we recommend scheduling your facial at least one week beforehand.
What’s the difference between a spa facial and what you offer?
Many spa facials focus primarily on relaxation – which is lovely, but doesn’t necessarily improve your skin. Our facials at Boncomb Beauty are results-driven. We still create a relaxing experience, but our primary goal is addressing your specific skin concerns with professional-grade products and techniques. Think of it as the difference between a basic car wash and a full detail. You deserve real results, not just a nice hour.
Can I get a facial if I use retinol or have had recent treatments?
Please let us know about your current skincare routine and any recent treatments (Botox, fillers, peels, laser) when booking. We may need to adjust our approach or recommend waiting before certain services. Generally, we ask that you pause retinol use 3-5 days before a facial and wait at least two weeks after injectables. We’ll guide you through timing during booking – transparent communication is how we ensure the best results for your skin.
How long does a facial appointment take?
Our Dermaplaning Facial takes approximately 45-60 minutes. The Steam Facial runs about 60 minutes. We schedule adequate time so you never feel rushed – this is your time to relax while we work. Many Arlington clients add a brow wax or tint to their facial appointment for a complete refresh in one visit.
Which facial is best for anti-aging?
For anti-aging concerns, we often recommend dermaplaning – the exfoliation stimulates cell turnover and allows anti-aging serums to penetrate more effectively. The immediate result is smoother, more luminous skin; the long-term benefit is improved texture and reduced appearance of fine lines. During your appointment, we’ll discuss your specific concerns and customize the treatment accordingly – your esthetician will remember your goals and track your progress over time.
Do you offer facials for men?
Absolutely. Our Men’s Steam Facial is specifically designed for men’s skin concerns – razor irritation, ingrown hairs, enlarged pores, and damage from the Texas sun and wind. It’s a professional, no-fuss experience that delivers real results. Many Arlington men add it to their regular haircut routine for consistent skin maintenance without extra appointments.
What Our Clients Say
“I’ve spent thousands on skincare products over the years, but nothing made as much difference as regular facials at Boncomb Beauty. Bonnie analyzed my skin and told me I was using the wrong products for my skin type – she was completely honest, even though it meant I’d buy less. Now my routine is simpler, my skin is clearer, and I’ve actually saved money. I wish I’d started professional facials earlier.” – Lauren P., Tierra Verde Estates
