Here is a description of each step of the facial:
Professional Cleansing
A luxurious start, using a cleanser appropriate for your skin condition and treatment plan.
Exfoliation
1-3 types of exfoliants will be used on you, both physical and chemical, depending on your skin condition and treatment plan. Your Esthetician will choose from the Strawberry Rhubarb Dermafoliant, the Mangosteen Daily Resurfacing Cleanser, the Firm Skin Exfoliating Peel, an AHA Fruit Pulp, a Pineapple Enzyme Exfoliant, or the Lactic Pro Peel. A stimulant (like the Blueberry Detox Peel or Lime Stimulating Mask) might also be layered for increased circulation and detoxification.
Extractions
Extractions are the removal of blackheads and comedones. Extractions can be done for people with just a few blackheads around the nose (very common), people with a lot of blackheads and a few comedones or people with severe acne. Proper extraction methods are essential for anyone with problem skin. Only comedones that are “ready” will be extracted and cysts will never be attempted. For people suffering with acne, regular facials including extractions have proved to reduce the severity of outbreaks. The Soothing Chamomile Tonique is applied before extractions to lower the pH of the skin and prepare it for extractions. The Calm Skin Arnica Serum is applied after extractions to calm redness.
Facial Massage
The purpose of facial massage is to increase the circulation in the skin, tone muscles, soften facial lines, hydrate the skin, and promote relaxation. Pressure point massage is utilized, relieving pressure around the jaw, sinuses, forehead and eye area. Many people who suffer from headaches and eye fatigue find much relief from facial massage. A serum and an organic massage cream is applied prior to facial massage for greater efficacy.
Mask
A mask provides the skin with concentrated ingredients to induce the most noticeable effects on the skin. Your Esthetician will choose from the Strawberry Rhubarb Masque with hyaluronic acid from marshmallow root for hydration, the Clear Skin Probiotic Masque with tea tree oil and probiotics to soothe and clear oily and acne prone skin, the Calm Skin Arnica Masque to calm Rosacea, or the Bright Skin Mask with stone crop and African potatoe to lighten hyper pigmented skin, just to name a few.
Eye and Lip Mask
An eye treatment is applied, as well as a lip plumping Hungarian Paprika and Shea Butter lip mask.
Serum, Cream and Eye Cream
To conclude the facial, the skin must be treated, nourished and protected. A serum provides concentrated, active ingredients with a small molecular size to penetrate deep into the skin. Serums are used to promote change in the skin. A cream is then applied to protect the skin against moisture loss and against environmental aggressors. An eye cream protects the delicate eye area and addresses lines, puffiness or dark circles.
Scalp Massage
The facial concludes with an invigorating scalp massage.
