Facials

Facials are highly beneficial for the skin. They can restore radiance, clear out pores, and deliver plenty of skin-loving ingredients to the skin much more effectively than your everyday skincare routine. 

Not only that, but clients love facials because of all the relaxing and de-stressing benefits.

When you book a facial with Julia Skin Beauty, all you have to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy the experience. It’s the perfect way to give yourself a little time to rest, relax, and leave feeling completely rejuvenated.  

If this sounds good, you’ll love these facial benefits: 

• Deep cleanse 
• Stress relief 
• Anti-ageing 
• Improved blood circulation 
• Skin rejuvenation 
• Skin detoxification 
• Acne reduction 
• Blackheads/whiteheads removal
• Skin exfoliation 
• Skin tightening 
• Improved under eye circles/bags
• Softer, more glowing skin
• Better product absorption 
• Professional care + treatment 

As with any appointment you schedule with Julia Skin Beauty, we’ll do everything in our power to make you feel welcomed and invited within our space. 

During your facial, you will be lying down on one of our comfortable tables. You’ll be treated to soothing music—or silence if you prefer. 

The facial experience itself will be different depending on what facial you decide is best for you, but in general, most facials include cleansing, exfoliating, treating, and moisturizing. 

We will discuss the steps with you beforehand so you know what to expect, but most clients are comfortable sitting back, relaxing, and trusting the process. 

Regarding what you should expect to feel, a facial should never be uncomfortable or painful. Your facialist will use their hands to work products in, and in some cases, use specialized tools, but in general, all you should feel is the light, professional touch of your facialist. 

After your facial, you should expect to both see and feel a noticeable difference in your skin. You will likely first notice the post-facial glow. It is a result of the high-quality products we use, as well as the increased blood flow to your face. 

Your skin will also feel noticeably softer due to the advanced exfoliating treatments we employ. 

Keep in mind that facials do not provide a permanent solution to skincare concerns. Instead, they are an excellent “tool” to add to your skincare routine. In other words, if you want to see continued benefits from a facial, it is recommended you schedule facials regularly.

For most clients, a monthly facial works excellently. For others, simply scheduling when they have an event or vacation works nicely. 

If you have specific skincare concerns that you want to address during a facial, check out our list of offerings to see what we can do for you. 

At Julia Skin Beauty, we are passionate about quality skincare. We understand that the products you use on your skin can have a big impact on your skin's look and feel.

That’s why we are proud to say we use natural, sustainable, cruelty-free, Canadian-made professional skincare from Laboratoire Dr. Renaud. We also use the results-focused, professional line iS Clinical, the dermatologist-recommended Elta MD and the clean and local line Consonant Skincare.

We will always discuss and disclose when in some cases we use specialized tools outside of these lines. We know this is of particular importance to those clients who might be struggling with sensitive skin. 

If you’re interested in trying any of the amazing products from Laboratoire Dr. Renaud, or if we use a product that you particularly enjoy, these products are available for sale in our storefront. They help to keep your skin looking its best between your appointments. 

Facials are one of the most common spa services you can book. In the Toronto area, you have plenty of options for booking your facial; however, don’t forget, not every facial will provide you with the same results. 

To truly experience the benefits of a facial, you need a facialist who has training and experience in providing professional-level facials, as well as a facialist who uses the appropriate products for your skin type and skincare goals. 

Knowing how to make these determinations requires expertise, training, and experience. At Julia Skin Beauty, you will always have all three. We even offer 1-1 consultations before your appointment to help you book the right facial for your needs and goals. 

Also, don’t forget: Facials should always make you feel relaxed. With the friendly approach and welcoming environment at Julia Skin Beauty, relaxation is always a breeze. 

Because facials are so non-invasive, they don’t require much preparation on your end. However, there are a couple of recommendations we have that can help make your facial experience even more enjoyable and effective: 

●   Come to your appointment with a clear face (i..e. No makeup, sunscreen, or other skincare products)

●   Avoid exfoliating or using harsh ingredients (i.e. retinol, BHAs or AHAs) for at least 4 days before the appointment. 

●   Do not wax on the area to be treated for 2 weeks before or after your appointment

●   Do not arrive to facial appointment with a fresh suntan or sunburn

●   Remember that most jewelry on your face and neck will need to be removed

●  If you are currently experiencing a cold-sore, please rebook your appointment for a later date

With these pre-care instructions out of the way, you can relax and enjoy all the benefits of your facial entirely worry-free. 

Facials are for anyone and everyone who wishes to try them. At Julia Skin Beauty, creating a welcoming and inviting environment where everyone feels comfortable is extremely important to us. If you want to try a facial, you should feel absolutely comfortable booking your appointment regardless of gender, age, race, skin type, or sexual orientation.

That said, there are certain factors that may determine the type of facial you can have, or prevent you from having a facial altogether. Some of these factors include:

•  Recent use of Accutane medication
•  Current skin infection 
•  Broken or injured skin
•  Active cancer
•  Recent sunburn
•  Recent procedures including injectables, peels and waxing

If you have a medical condition and you are unsure if a facial would be appropriate for you, we are always available by chat, phone or email to discuss. 

We recommend adding facials to your skincare routine on a monthly basis. If a monthly appointment is not feasible, then once every 3 months is recommended, or with the change of the seasons.

Amazing for keeping skin clear, clean, and rejuvenated, receiving regular facials can help to improve the overall quality of your skin. Not to mention, having a monthly appointment to look forward to where you can relax, unwind, and enjoy the inviting Julia Skin Beauty space is something that most clients really appreciate. 

For most, monthly facials are a wonderful option. For others, simply booking when you have an event where you want to look and feel your best works well. 

When you make facials a part of your skincare routine, people will definitely be asking what you’ve been doing to achieve such stunning results. 

Facials are not a permanent solution for skincare concerns; however, booking in regular facial services can help maintain beautiful skin. 

For instance, if you have some ageing concerns (i.e. fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of vibrancy), while a facial won’t erase your wrinkles, it will bring vitality to your complexion, providing you with more youthful skin. 

For most, you’ll notice more vibrant and glowing skin for 5-7 days after your facial. 

To maintain your results, we highly recommend implementing a high-quality skincare routine.  However, if you need help coming up with a skincare routine suited to your skin type and goals, we would be happy to guide you. We even sell some of the products we regularly use during our facials if you want to help maintain your results. 

Facials are our most relaxing and rejuvenating service offered. They are lovely additions to a skincare routine. Clients love that they are non-invasive and appreciate the relaxing effects associated with them. 

As mentioned, facials don’t offer a permanent solution to skincare concerns like anti-ageing. 

If fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, sagging skin, or overall lack of vibrancy has you concerned, you might require a more advanced skincare service. 

First, we always recommend the HydraFacial as the next step after a classic facial. HydraFacial can take your skin to the next level with more advanced and effective treatment. 

If you’re looking for even better results that provide a longer-lasting solution, laser skin rejuvenation might be for you. 

We also highly recommend looking into ProCell Therapy. 

All of these treatments are available at Julia Skin Beauty. We can’t wait to help you achieve the skin of your dreams!
