If you’re wondering which facial is best for glowing skin, look no further. A Vitamin C facial is a professional skincare treatment. It treats your skin with a potent blend of Vitamin C, antioxidants, and hydrating ingredients. This helps to brighten, smooth, and rejuvenate your skin. During the treatment, an esthetician gradually applies a range of professional-grade Vitamin C-rich products to your skin. You’ll leave looking and feeling visibly refreshed and radiant. Vitamin C is known for its firming and protective properties. This can help reduce the appearance of acne scars, dark spots, sun damage, wrinkles, and fine lines. Think of it as a de-stress session for your skin — repairing damage while giving you that fresh, dewy glow. What to Expect in a Vitamin C Facial This 60-minute treatment goes beyond a standard spa facial. At Balance Spa, we know how to get glowy skin and use Hylunia professional-grade skincare products to maximize results. The combination of high-quality products, expert application, and complementary techniques sets this brightening facial apart. We begin by prepping the skin for optimal Vitamin C absorption. Then, a powerful (yet gentle) exfoliation follows to further soften your skin.  Your Vitamin C Facial Includes: To enhance effectiveness, we incorporate a facial massage before applying the mask to boost circulation. If your skin isn’t too sensitive, we use steam to activate the exfoliating enzymes during the enzyme application. The creamy Antioxidant Mask blends potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory ingredients to hydrate, soothe, and calm the skin. While the mask works its magic, you’ll enjoy a relaxing arm and hand massage. Benefits of Vitamin C Facials: Does Vitamin C Help Acne? Just like Vitamin C is essential for overall health, it provides incredible rejuvenating benefits for your skin. Smooths and Tones Skin Vitamin C adds smoothness and tone to even the most problematic skin. Clinical trials have shown it can help fade dark spots and hyperpigmentation for a smooth, even look. Brightening Facial Vitamin C is a natural anti-inflammatory. Because of this, it brightens the skin by removing redness and irritation. So, does Vitamin C help acne? Research shows this effect can also help control the skin’s oil, which can potentially help with acne. Anti-Aging Properties Multiple clinical studies confirm Vitamin C’s anti-aging benefits. One study found that applying Vitamin C daily for three months significantly improved skin texture and reduced wrinkles. It also stimulates collagen production, helping maintain firm, youthful skin. Protects Against Environmental Damage Vitamin C fights free radicals triggered by sun exposure, pollution, and smoking. This oxidative stress accelerates aging and weakens the skin. Because of this, Vitamin C may prevent premature aging and skin damage. BOOK A BRIGHTENING FACIAL IN BOCA How Does a Vitamin C Facial Work? Potency and pH Matter The Vitamin C Peel (L-Ascorbic Acid) in the Balance Spa facial has a 20% concentration. This is key because studies show that Vitamin C must be between 10-20% strength with a pH lower than 3.5 to penetrate the skin effectively. Our Vitamin C facial meets these criteria, with 20% potency and a pH of 3.0, so the nutrients can actually get in. Vitamin C as an Antioxidant Environmental factors like sun exposure, pollution, and smoking accelerate skin aging through oxidative stress. Vitamin C helps by: ●        Neutralizing free radicals●        Strengthening capillaries●        Supporting collagen formation The Most Effective Form: L-Ascorbic Acid Among different Vitamin C derivatives, L-Ascorbic Acid is the most biologically active. Since our bodies don’t produce Vitamin C, we must get it externally through food, supplements, or skincare. Even with high oral doses, only a small amount reaches the skin. This makes topical application crucial for visible results. Exfoliation for Better Absorption Before applying Vitamin C, we use a Papaya Bromelain Enzyme to gently remove dead skin cells. This allows active ingredients to penetrate deeper. They work more effectively on live skin cells. Supporting Ingredients for Enhanced Results How to Get Glowy Skin & Maintain Results at Home We recommend using a Vitamin C serum every morning as part of your skincare routine.
