What can I expect during a facial?
A typical facial will involve several steps, including:
- Consultation: Discussing your skin concerns and goals with the esthetician.
- Cleansing & Makeup Removal: Removing any makeup and cleansing your face with products suited to your skin type.
- Exfoliation: Buffing away dead skin cells to reveal a brighter, smoother surface layer. This can be done with various methods, from gentle scrubs to enzymatic masks.
- Extractions (optional): Steaming can help open pores, making extractions of blackheads and whiteheads easier and less irritating. However, not all facials include extractions.
- Mask: A targeted mask will be applied to address your specific concerns.
- Moisturizer & Sunscreen: The esthetician will apply moisturizer and sunscreen to protect your skin.
