European Facial
A facial can be a great way to improve skin health and appearance, and can also improve an individual's overall feelings of well being and beauty.
The facial process actually includes multiple steps, all of which must be completed for the best possible results. The first step is the cleansing of the skin. Usually, the technician uses sponges or cotton swabs with a cleansing product, preferably one that is best suited to the client's skin. The product might be best suited for dry or oily skin, or for more mature skin. To determine what type of cleansing product is best for a client's face, the technician might perform a simple analysis of the skin. Any experienced technician should be able to choose a cleanser that is best suited to an individual skin type. The cleansing is typically meant to remove all surface material like dirt or makeup. This prepares the skin for the more intensive steps in the facial treatment.
The next step in a facial is the extraction. This step may be done for a variety of reasons and some individuals opt out of it. Typically, an extraction is meant to remove blackheads, whiteheads and similar impurities. Extraction can be painful, depending on the individual's skin type and sensitivity. It can also cause broken capillaries in the skin and even discoloration. For this reason, it is important that an extraction is performed only by an experienced and licensed technician. When performed correctly, an extraction can improve complexion and overall skin health while giving the appearance of more beautiful skin.
Exfoliation is also a necessary step in a proper facial. The exfoliation process might include either 'mechanical' or 'chemical' means, depending on what type of facial is being performed. In a mechanical exfoliation, a rougher material is applied to the face, often while steam is applied. A chemical exfoliation might include a skin peel and is frequently considered a more harsh treatment. In both types of exfoliation, dead skin cells are removed, giving the skin an overall more healthy appearance and feel. In a 'harsh' chemical facial, layers of skin are removed, which can cause some pain and irritation. In a 'gentle' mechanical facial, only the dead skin cells are sloughed away. The first type produces more immediate results, but the second is more comfortable for the skin.
Often, a facial also includes a neck and shoulder massage. This is meant to relieve tension in these areas of the body, and to relax the client. This can also improve overall feelings of well being.
A facial can truly improve the skin's outward appearance and can also improve overall skin health. A facial session can also be a truly relaxing and invigorating experience.
