A facial cleans, exfoliates and nourishes the skin to promote clear, well-hydrated skin. It is sometimes called a "deep-cleansing facial" or a "deep-pore" cleansing facial because of the extractions.
The Basic Steps To A Facial
- A facial begins with a thorough cleansing with cotton pads or sponges and a product chosen for your skin type (normal, dry, oily, combination, sensative, mature)
- Skin Analysis, The esthetician covers your eyes and looks at your skin through a brightly lit magnifying lamp that reveals various skin conditions.
- Exfoliation using a mechanical or chemical exfoliant. Mechanical exfoliation has a gritty texture and usally happens while a steam vapor is directed at your face.
- Extraction of blackheads or whiteheads if you want and need it.
- Facial massage using classic strokes like effeurage to both relax you and stimulate your skin and facial muscles.
- A facial mask targeted to your skin type (dry, oily, combination, sensitive, mature).
- Application of toners and protective creams.
- Advice on home skin care.
