While the focus of most skincare routines is squarely on the face and maybe even the neck.
While most people are familiar with the benefits of a regular facial, it’s likely they don’t think about their back in the same way. But the truth is a back facial can help clean, tone, and exfoliate a part of your body that’s often forgotten or taken for granted.
And as we approach the height of the summer, you’ll also find that a revitalizing back treatment could help you pull off a backless top, a sexy dress, and of course, that swimsuit you’ve been waiting to debut.
What Is A Back Facial?
Performed by a licensed esthetician, a back facial, like the one offered by us typically begins with gentle cleansing and exfoliation, which is then followed by extractions, a masque, and oil-free hydration.
Why Should You Consider A Back Facial?
It should come as no surprise that your back is susceptible to some of the same issues you may see on your face, such as acne, clogged pores, and dry skin. And if that weren’t plenty, if you’re feeling stressed or working too hard, your back will likely be one of the first places that tension tends to show itself.
Ahead we’ll take a closer look at some of the reasons you may want to consider a back facial treatment.
Backne
if backne is an ongoing issue for you, a back facial can do a lot of the heavy lifting to deep clean and exfoliate your skin; plus, it effectively clears out clogged pores in those hard to reach trouble spots. With regular back treatments, you’ll likely see a reduction in acne and blemish-free skin over time.
Dry Skin
Whether your skin is naturally dry or you’re dealing with it as a result of overexposure to the sun or even dry winter air, back facials can work wonders to restore your skin’s delicate balance. The procedure includes gentle exfoliation that sweeps away dull, flaky skin, and it’s quickly followed by moisturizing a masque and deep hydration.
Stress And Tension Relief
Back facials typically include a light massage of your neck, shoulder, and back; this, of course, deepens relaxation as it eases muscle tension and melts away stress.
When incorporated into your normal wellness routine, a back facial can certainly help you look and feel your best. Back treatments are ideal for treating backne and dry skin in hard-to-reach spots that are otherwise neglected. What’s more, they can help you relax, unwind, and recharge your batteries.

From there, back facials involve a process of cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturizing the skin on the back, in addition to applying a mask. Most back facials also include an extraction process to clear out blocked pores and reduce the severity of any present back acne
Time To Change Your Skin Care Routine
We refresh our wardrobes with the changing seasons, so why do so many of us stick with the same old skin care products month after month? Your skin is your largest living organ, constantly in flux while adapting to environmental fluctuations like humidity, UV intensity, and pollution. To keep up with your skin’s ever-changing needs, here are some expert tips to change up your skin care routine.
NEW SUNSCREEN IS A MUST.
Sunscreen contains active ingredients which lose their potency and effectiveness over time. To ensure your skin is protected, updating your sunscreen formulations at least once a season is essential. Environ RAD Sunscreen SPF 30 is formulated with effective ingredients to protect both the face and body from the effects of damaging UV rays and harsh environmental influences. RAD Sunscreen is packed with a combination of physical sunscreens and antioxidants which work in synergy to help protect and enhance your skin’s beauty before, during, and after sun exposure for radiant-looking skin around the clock.
LIGHTEN UP!
Heavy-duty moisturizers might need to take a back seat to lighter formulations in the warmer months. Even if your skin is chronically dry, lighter hydrating products can work as effectively as more intense formulas during the spring and summer because your skin is helped by the increasing humidity. To improve the overall look of your skin and fight against the signs of sun damage, we love our Environ Vita-Antioxidant AVST Moisturiser. This lightweight formula packs heavy-duty results, featuring the scientifically researched skin-revitalizing vitamins A and C, in addition to protective antioxidants and nourishing botanicals to reveal the look of healthy, hydrated and luminous skin.
SHED YOUR SKIN!
Out with the old, in the with new. Did you know you can apply this handy saying to your skin? If your skin is prone to breakouts and dullness, or suffers from persistent signs of sun damage, we recommend a gentle exfoliating formulation like Environ Alpha Hydroxy Night Cream. Applied before bed, this efficacious formula helps to reveal the look of brighter, smoother, clearer skin with its potent yet gentle combination of exfoliating fruit acids.
