A facial is a multi-step skin treatment that aims to improve the appearance and health of your skin. It typically includes these seven steps:
- Double Cleanse: Removing makeup and impurities with an oil-based cleanser followed by a water-based cleanser ensures a clean canvas for the rest of the facial.
- Steam: Opening pores with a steam treatment allows for deeper cleansing and better product absorption.
- Exfoliate: Gently removing dead skin cells with a scrub or exfoliating mask helps to brighten the skin and enhance product penetration.
- Hydrating Face Mask: Applying a mask tailored to your skin concerns, like hydration, anti-aging, or acne treatment, delivers targeted benefits to your skin.
- Massage: Massaging your face with a facial oil promotes blood circulation and relaxes facial muscles, leaving your skin feeling refreshed and revitalized.
- Treatment: This step may include extractions to remove blackheads and whiteheads or a serum application to address specific skin concerns.
- Moisturize: Sealing in hydration with a moisturizer helps to protect your skin and maintain its healthy appearance.
