While healthy and glowing skin can be achieved at home, many people turn to facials when they need some extra help. A basic facial will work to cleanse your pores, exfoliate dead skin cells, and treat common skin problems with a custom mask. Each facial will begin with an esthetician’s consultation to determine the right types of products for your skin type. Once this has been determined, it’s time to sit back, relax and enjoy the treatment. Let’s look at the five main steps of facial therapy below.

Cleaning: 

• The first part of your facial will involve the cleansing of your skin. Your skin care specialist will gently massage your face and neck with a cleanser to remove any initial traces of makeup and dirt. They will then use a soft facial sponge, cloth, or cotton pad to gently remove the cleanser from your face with warm water. This may be a useful step in determining which facial mask to use later on.

Exfoliation: 

• Depending on the type of spa you visit, your aesthetician may work to buff dead skin cells with an exfoliating cream or scrub.

​

Extractions:

• The extraction process is performed to help clear any pores that are clogged with excess oil or dead skin cells that may come from blackheads and acne. The extraction is carried out either by hand or with a special metal tool.

​

Massage:

• One of the best parts of the facial is the final massage. Most facials have a massage of the face and parts of the upper body. This is used to improve the lymphatic drainage of your body.

Masks:

• Once you have enjoyed your facial massage, your skincare expert will apply a custom facial mask to your face. You’ll be asked to sit on a mask anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour.
