A facial cleans, exfoliates and
nourishes the skin to promote clear,
well-hydrated skin. A facial is the second most
popular spa service.
The Basic Steps
of a Facial
A facial involves a few basic
steps:
- cleansing
- skin analysis, where the
esthetician puts eyepads over your eyes and
looks at your skin through a brightly lit
magnifying lamp
- exfoliation, usually
while a steam vapor is directed at your
face.
- extraction of blackheads
if you want it and it's suitable for your
skin type. (It can cause broken
capillaries.)
- facial massage to relax
you and stimulate your skin and facial
muscles
- a mask targeted to your
skin type (dry, oily, combination,
sensitive, mature.)
- application of toners and
protective creams
- advice on home skin care
- our specialty
multi-wave light treatment
can also be added for skin healing,
tightening and lightening of brown spots.
How Often Should
I Get A Facial?
- Ideally, get a facial
every four to six weeks because that's how
long it takes the skin to regenerate. Try to
have a facial at least four times a year, as
the season changes. You may need it more
frequently if you are trying to clear up a
case of acne, especially at the beginning.
