Keep in Mind That Not All Facials Are Created Equal
Keep in Mind That Not All Facials Are Created Equal If it's a pricey facial, it's important to consider -- and inquire -- both about the protocol and the products being used. If a treatment relies on a relatively inexpensive product line and there are no extra bells and whistles, it's worth wondering whether it's really worth the steep price tag. Heather Mikesell, Executive Editor of American Spa magazine, says to ask the following questions: Does it incorporate an expensive device or piece of equipment? Does it require some special knowledge to perform it? Does it feature a pricey or rare ingredient? (FYI, there's a caveat to this, but more on that in a minute.) If not, it may just be more like a facial that you could DIY without spending so much cash.
