The Basic Steps of a Facial

-Cleansing

A facial begins with a cleansing with cotton pads or sponges and a product

chosen for your skin type (normal, dry, oily, combination, sensitive, mature.)



-Skin Analysis

The esthetician covers your eyes and looks at your skin through a magnifying lamp

that reveal various skin conditions.


-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.
 
There are many benefits of facial steamers on the skin
  • Helps to soften plugs in pores for easy removal of dirt and dead skin debris.
  • Stimulates skin blood circulation allowing the skin to look refreshed.
  • Allows for deep cleansing, hence, soften, re-hydrates, and rejuvenating outer layer of skin.
  • Aid to open up clogged nasal and sinus passages.

A chemical peel can be a stand-alone treatment or part of the facial.

It is generally an "upgrade" and done in a series.


-Extraction

extraction of blackheads or whiteheads if you want it and need it.

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

using classic strokes like effleurage to both relax you and stimulate your skin

and facial muscles.


-A facial mask

targeted to your skin type (dry, oily, combination, sensitive, mature) and condition.


-Application of toners

and protective creams.


-Advice

on home skin care.


Who Gives A Facial?

A professional facial should be given by a licensed esthetician

with special training in skin care.
