What is a facial?

A facial is a multi-step skin treatment that is one of the best ways to take care of your skin. A good facial cleanses, exfoliates, and nourishes the skin, promoting a clear, well-hydrated complexion, and can help your skin look younger. You can also receive personalized advice on proper skin care from a professional.

Here's a breakdown of what a facial typically involves:

  • Cleansing: The facial usually starts with a thorough cleansing of the skin to remove dirt, oil, makeup, and other impurities.
  • Exfoliation: This step removes dead skin cells, revealing brighter and smoother skin underneath. Exfoliation can be achieved through mechanical methods (scrubs) or chemical peels.
  • Extraction: If needed, this involves removing blackheads and whiteheads. This is usually done carefully to avoid damaging the skin.
  • Massage: Facial massage helps to improve circulation, relax facial muscles, and promote lymphatic drainage.
  • Mask: A facial mask is applied to address specific skin concerns, such as hydration, acne, or anti-aging.
  • Moisturizing: The facial concludes with the application of a moisturizer to hydrate and protect the skin.
  • Serum: Serums with ingredients like vitamin C or hyaluronic acid can be applied under moisturiser to target specific issues.

Different types of facials are available to suit various skin types and concerns. It's best to consult with a Skincare%20Professional to determine the best type of facial for your individual needs.
