Putting Your Best Face Forward: Why Facials Are Here to Stay

Why have facials endured as a world known spa treatment?

You always see the cucumbers on the eyes and the white creamy cleanser on the women's faces in the "girls day out" montages. Today the king of spa treatments is still the facial. Why? I think it's because of eye contact.

One study done at UCLA showed that 93% of communication is visual. Since the face is the frame for the eyes: When it's shiny, clean, and bright (like after a cleansing facial or peel), it encourages communication. This establishes a friendly start when interacting with others.

So having a healthy skin tone from your trip to the day spa can really improve how your whole day goes!
