What is a facial ?

A facial is a great way to take care of your skin A facial cleans, and nourishes the skin in order to promote a clear and well hydrated skin. It includes deep cleansing, exfoliation, toner, steamer, massage, and a nourishing mask.

What are the steps of a facial?

A good facial includes a number of steps. It first begins with a bright magnifying lamp directed to your face, so your skin type can be identified. Then the face is thoroughly cleansed with cotton pads along with a product chosen that matches your skin type, such as dry, oily, normal, sensitive, mature, or combination. A steam vapour is then directed at your face, at this moment all blackheads and white heads are removed. A face massage will then be given, to both relax and stimulate your skin and facial muscles. After the massage, a facial mask is targeted to your skin; the mask may vary depending on skin types (dry, oily, combination, mature, sensitive). The final step of the facial is applying toners and protective creams on the face.  Exfoliation using a mechanical or chemical exfoliant. Mechanical exfoliation has a gritty texture and usually happens while a steam vapor is directed at your face. Some facials may use steam towels instead.
Extraction of blackheads or whiteheads can be done if you require. (It can cause broken capillaries and discoloration if done on sensitive skin, or done improperly.) People have different pain tolerance for extractions. They can be uncomfortable, especially on thin or ruddy skin.

•  Facial massage relaxes you and stimulates your skin and facial muscles.
•  A facial mask targeted to your skin type (dry, oily, combination, sensitive, mature.)
•  Application of toners and protective creams

Serums

definition of serums when used in facials; they are usually applied at the end of a facial. They can also be applied before going to bed. How often should you get a facial? Getting a facial varies from person to person, however an ideal amount of time would be to get a facial every four to six weeks, because that is how long it takes for the skin to regenerate. A facial may be needed more in cases of acne or other facial problems. Otherwise, once a month is plenty. You can overdo it.
