Forbici Facial Benefits 101

To learn about skin care, you can read the endless product packaging, or you can simply get professional insights from our Forbici estheticians who specialize in the skin beautification of real people just like you! They are knowledgeable and admittedly love tailoring treatments, lotions, and experiences for their clients. We hope this blog post educates, inspires, and empowers you to look beyond the store shelves to ramp up your skincare routine.

What To Expect When Receiving A Signature Forbici Facial

Facials are incredibly relaxing and can even feel a bit feel indulgent, but the fact is that they are a preventive measure for good skin care regimen. Over time, facials are recommended every four weeks (depending upon your skin's particular needs) to really get your complexion glowing. 1) Every Forbici Facial lasts one hour and begins with customized skin cleansing steam to remove toxins, make up and debris. The level of cleanse and exfoliation will be based on your personal skin analysis.

2) If a deeper cleanse is required, added exfoliation utilizing a circular brush head will aid in removal of dead skin cells on the surface. The results leave your skin feeling and looking healthier and more radiant.

3) People who experience compromised skin, including acne, redness, and rosacea, will especially benefit from our Sorella botanical line with fruit enzymes to rebuild your skin barrier.

4) Forbici blended conditioning masques are personalized for your skin. Whether it's soothing plant extracts, clarifying clay or vitamin C, our relaxing custom blended serums, deep hydrating gels and rich moisturizers will melt the years away.

5) One of the best parts of getting a professional facial is the soothing face, neck and scalp massage. It is an intentional process that can provide many benefits beyond relaxation.

6) To ensure the safety of our valued guests and our Forbici staff, we have installed plexiglass shields and dividers for your facial experience. Masks are worn by staff during your entire visit.

We hope this introduction to one of our most popular services has provided insights on why a facial given by a professional is more than just a luxury...it is an essential, tailored skin care experience you don't want to miss. View all of our Facial offerings and schedule your appointment today!

Winter Waxing and Why you need it…

Winter is a great time do do body waxing because you can grow hair out to the length of a grain of rice without anyone noticing! And then, by the time Spring/Summer arrives you have super smooth skin that you really don't need to shave!

At Forbici Salon and Spa, we offer the following waxing services:

HANDS ARMS

BACK BIKINI

LEGS

SHOULDERS

STOMACH

TOES

UNDERARMS

Backs need special attention!

We really need to give our back the same attention we give our face and neck. The skin (back there) can be just as sensitive and prone to dryness and irritation. A back facial is a painless treatment that consists of deep cleansing, exfoliation, extractions and purifying masks. The esthetician will use creams and possibly steam to exfoliate and clean your skin before extracting oil and debris. The treatment ends with a detoxifying mask for hydration. Over 50% of the population have breakouts on their back and every 28 days our skin cells turnover, so making this part of an overall skin regimen is a healthy choice for 2021!

Ward Off Winter Hand Woes

Just like changing your wardrobe for the Winter season, it is also essential to change your beauty routine, including your winter nail care! Increased dry winds and changing temperatures can harm the nails. Here are a few reminders for the months ahead: 1) Your nails will benefit greatly by moisturizing your hands regularly. We are all using hand sanitizers like crazy so make sure you utilize those creams after washing. 2) Adding an additional topcoat a few days after a Forbici manicure will go a long way in colder months. Check out the Artistic Winter Collection features contrasting finishes that will allow you to be as dazzling as you want during this festive season. 3) We recommend turning your classic Forbici manicure into a luxurious hand and nail treatment! Begin with an Asian herb exfoliating treatment to remove dry surface skin. Your nails and cuticles will then be groomed, followed by a nourishing creamy masque to smooth and soften your hands and arms. Enjoy a soothing hand and arm massage. Hands are then dipped into a heated paraffin bath and placed into warm mitts.

4 ) Another option is our fabulous paraffin treatment. Not only is this great for dry skin, it can be enormously helpful for relieving the joint pain and stiffness. Immersing your hands into warm paraffin wax that has essential oils to help smooth your skin. A great addition to any service.

Whichever service you choose, remember if it’s cold enough to wear a hat, it’s also cold enough to slip on a pair of gloves!
