What is a facial?

A facial is a skin treatment that exfoliates the dead skin cells, cleanses the skin pores,  and rejuvenates and nourishes the face, making skin appear healthier and younger. Facials can be tailored to the individual skin type and skin concerns such as not performing a harsh exfoliation on someone with sensitive skin. It is an amazing and easiest way to do away with a stressful week that seriously affected your skin and you may choose many types of facials which can be suitable for you at Carisma Spa & Wellness.

Each facial starts with a consultation that helps the therapist or aesthetician determine the kind of facial or products the skin type and concern. Once that is approved, the relaxing part begins which generally has basic steps.

Facial cleansing with cotton pads

facial procedure

​Aestheticians usually start the facial by gently massaging cleanser onto the face, neck, and décolleté to remove any remains of makeup and dirt. With a facial sponge, cloth or cotton pad paired with warm water, this helps them evaluate and decide the kind of mask or product they will apply later. Depending on the skin type and Spa you are visiting, the aesthetician may remove the dead skin cells with an exfoliating cream or scrub to open up the pores. 

Next step is to clear the individual pores that are clogged with excess sebum, oil or dead skin cells which may form blackheads and acne. This process is usually done with a hand or a special metal tool. After the oil and dead skin has been removed. The next step of the facial is the custom mask or the product application such as serum, moisturiser, purifying and blemish, dark spots and radiance or anti pollution products. Facial is usually concluded with facial massage which can relax you after the treatment and also improve lymphatic drainage.

conclusion

​Facials are great not only for cleansing your pores or getting rid of the blackheads and acnes, but also will help you accelerate the cell regeneration process. It will also increase the production of collagen under your skin, especially the skin around your eyes. The under eye skin is delicate and thinner as compared to the rest of your face, so with facials you will also be able to eliminate dark circles and eye bags. It will help you get younger skin and reduce the signs of stress. With collagen production increased, your skin’s elasticity will increase and will become firm. It will help you overcome problems like wrinkles and make you look young.
