A good facial can be a very relaxing and refreshing experience if done the right way. However, a treatment at an unhygienic or unsanitary parlour could leave you with an infection. Here are a few things you should look out for during your facial sessions:  Make sure they have changed the sheets and the dressing gown you’ve been handed is a fresh one. Don’t hesitate to point these things out. Make sure the towels used to wipe your face are fresh and clean. Old towels might contain an older client’s skin cells and dirt. Disinfection of towels is a must.  Cotton used to clean the face or neck should be fresh and taken out of a fresh bale of cotton or a fresh bag of cotton balls. Don’t be fooled by product containers. Just because the bottle carries the name of a renowned cosmetic giant doesn’t mean that they actually have those products. Sometimes parlours, in order to cut corners, simply fill these good looking bottles with cheap products that may be very bad for your skin.
