Facials That Glow: How to Pick the Perfect Treatment for Your Skin Type

Social Share :

Do you know which facial treatment is best for your skin type? Before you can answer that, you’ll need to define your skin type (dry, oily, combination, and so on). When it’s time to treat yourself to a facial, these details form the basis for the perfect outcome, the radiant results you want to see. It’s important to get them right.

At The Wax House, we take the time to fully understand your skin type, goals, preferences, and the issues you’d like to address. This helps us guide you toward the best selection for your goals. We believe there’s more to a luxurious facial than a list of treatments, and we’re here to ensure you experience industry-leading services and the finest products, under the direction of some of Nashville’s most highly qualified aestheticians.

As part of that experience, The Wax House also offers its own exclusive name-brand line of products, giving clients access to some of the best skincare products available. Whether you’re searching for “facials near me” or exploring your skincare options in Nashville, our curated in-house collection helps you enhance your current routines with confidence.

Learn about three of our most popular facial treatments and see which one aligns best with your skin concerns. Whether you’re considering the Lactic Lightening Peel, microdermabrasion, or a glycolic peel, you can look forward to a meticulously tailored procedure that cleanses and nourishes your complexion and leaves you looking and feeling like you can take on the world.

A Lactic Lightening Peel for the First Signs of Aging

Intended for normal to dry skin, flaky skin, skin that’s sun-damaged, or skin with hyperpigmentation, our lactic acid peel exfoliates and hydrates your skin in a delicate yet thorough manner.

Ideal for sensitive skin, our treatment uses a mild chemical alpha-hydroxy acid derived from milk to refresh, brighten, and moisturize your complexion. This formulation gently dissolves dead skin cells, which are sloughed away to reveal a smoother, more radiant surface. As a humectant, it draws moisture into the skin to plump and hydrate. It also gently stimulates collagen production, helping to improve your skin’s firmness over time.

As a treatment for hyperpigmentation, our Lactic Lightening Peel helps even skin tone and texture. It also fades age spots and reduces the appearance of fine lines without stinging or irritating the newly revealed layer. Instead, this soothing treatment minimizes pores and leaves your skin feeling soft, fresh, and hydrated.

For the very best results, we recommend four to six treatments over a personalized timeframe.

Microdermabrasion: Healthier Looking Skin & New Cell Growth

No question about it, microdermabrasion is a mighty powerful tool in your skin health tool belt. Ideal for most skin types, this minimally invasive treatment buffs and exfoliates the skin using a specialized wand. The process improves skin tone, minimizes fine lines and age spots, and even encourages new cell growth by stimulating circulation and collagen.

Our specialized approach includes a cleanser, extractions, toner, moisturizer, therapeutic steam, gentle massage, and a rejuvenating facial mask.

There is no better way to relax and decompress for an hour and fifteen minutes than with a perfectly tailored treatment designed to reveal a fresher, softer complexion and promote new cell growth.

While this is an effective choice for reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, it is not recommended for those with active rosacea, eczema, or deep scars. We have other facials suited to these conditions that can help you achieve your goals without triggering underlying sensitivities or vulnerabilities.

Glycolic Peel: A Treatment for All Skin Types

If you struggle with oily, acne-prone, or sun-damaged skin, a glycolic peel (customized to suit your skin concerns) can put your frustrations to rest. And here’s great news: it’s equally as effective for normal, dry, sensitive, and combination skin.

By formulating the appropriate concentration targeting your individual needs, our glycolic facials help clear clogged pores, reduce excess oil production, treat breakouts, and fade acne scars. This is the ideal choice for fine lines or skin that’s beginning to look dull due to Nashville’s cold and cloudy fall and winter seasons.

A key benefit the glycolic peel offers is its capacity to accelerate your skin’s natural shedding cycle, which slows down with age. It also stimulates collagen production to improve your skin’s firmness and reduce the signs of aging.

Known as the “lunchtime peel,” you can book your glycolic peel over your lunch break and return to work looking absolutely amazing. 

While results can be seen after just one treatment, we recommend a series of treatments for more significant and compounding results.

A Day Spa That Celebrates You

The moment you step into The Wax House, your world transforms into a serene and sophisticated oasis. This is where you and your needs are the sole focus of our front desk staff, aestheticians, and the entire client services team.

Whether you’re looking for just the right facial to resolve issues your own home routines can’t tackle, or you’re looking for a more holistic day spa experience that includes waxing, massage, brow and body treatments or lash extensions, you can expect a soothing escape from the demands of the day in a tranquil spa haven where friends meet up with friends and life slows down for a while.Learn more about our services, and book now!
