Professional Facial vs. At-Home Routine: Why You Need Both

One of the biggest questions we get at Remedy is: “If I have a good skincare routine at home, do I really need professional facials?” The truth is yes, and vice versa. Professional facials and at-home routines aren’t meant to replace each other. They work hand in hand to give you glowing, healthy skin. Here’s why both matter.

✨ Why Professional Facials Matter

1. Deeper Cleansing
At home, your cleanser does a lot, but professional facials use steam, exfoliation, and tools (like scrubbers or extractions) to clear buildup you can’t reach yourself.

2. Customized Treatments
Your skin changes with seasons, stress, and lifestyle. A professional esthetician can analyze your skin in real time and adjust products or techniques to what you actually need.

3. Advanced Tools & Products
From scrubbers to masques, and professional-grade serums, facials go deeper than anything over-the-counter. They’re designed for results you can’t replicate at home.

4. Relaxation + Reset
A facial isn’t just skincare, it’s a nervous system reset. At Remedy, our facials include massage and hot towels, helping your whole body relax while your skin renews.

✨ Why At-Home Routines Matter

1. Consistency Is Everything
What you do daily matters more than what you do once a month. A simple routine (cleanse, treat, hydrate, protect) keeps your results going.

2. Barrier Support
Daily moisturizers, serums, and SPF maintain the skin’s protective barrier so treatments last longer.

3. Prevention
Facials correct, at-home routines prevent. Daily care helps minimize issues like breakouts, dullness, or dryness before they start.

✨ Why You Need Both

Think of it like the gym:

• Facials = personal training sessions → targeted, corrective, results-driven.

• At-home care = your daily workouts → maintain progress and prevent setbacks.

Without facials, your routine only goes surface-deep. Without at-home care, your facial results fade quickly. Together, they give you long-term, glowing skin.
