FacialsPrepare to be pampered.
Getting a facial is a wonderful, relaxing & refreshing experience! A good facial every 4-6 weeks for both men & women will help your skin look fresh & young. All of our facials are customized by your Esthetician to treat acne, rosacea, fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, and any other skin care problems you may have. Preparing for a FacialFacials are intended to Cleanse, Treat, Balance and Protect.
The esthetician will do a complete analysis of your skin before she begins. She will also ask several questions including your age & will discuss your skin care routine. Be sure to tell her if any products or ingredients have irratated your skin in the past. You will change into a gown, this allows the esthetician to massage your shoulders & to apply the creams to your face & neck without any chance of product getting on your clothes. You will lay down on a facial table covered in comfy blankets. One important note , it is best that you DO NOT wear any makeup to your facial appointment. |
What to Expect During Your Facial
Depending on the facial or customized service you have requested, the Esthetician creates their own routine that may include these steps:
- A gentle cleanser will be used to remove any dead skin cells.
- Gentle but firm pressure & smooth sweeping strokes will be used to aplly all products.
- Warm water & Facial sponges or pads will be used to remove product.
- A toner will be applied to bring your skin back to proper ph balance.
- Steaming your skin helps bring out dirt & blackheads, this also stimulates circulation. If you have sensitive skin or no blackheads you may not need steam.
- Extractions are not a client favorite, yet are necessary for proper skin care. Clogged pores appear larger, smaller extracted pores will recoil and become smaller. A magnifying lamp is used to analyze blemishes, clogged pores, etc.
- A mask is chosen for additional exfoliating, this may tingle, yet if too extreme please inform your esthetician.
- The mask is followed by a moisturizer to help rehydrate your skin.
- A facial, neck & shoulder massage is the most relaxing portion of the facial & beneficial at the same time as it gets the blood flowing.
- Finally an additional moisturizer with a sun protection factor completes your experience.
