Facials

A facial cleans, exfoliates, and nourishes the face to promote clear skin and a youthful, radiant complexion. A facial is the second most popular spa service after a massage.

Facials involve a cleansing procedure, a massage and steam, and the application of a face mask. Facials help remove the dull outer layer of dead cells that make up the skin’s surface or epidermis along with pollutants. An important part of a facial is the massage which improves blood circulation and aids lymphatic drainage – that is the removal of toxins and waste from the body. A facial massage relaxes the facial muscles and is proven to delay the onset of wrinkles.

The face is steamed during a facial for two reasons. Steam helps the skin absorb cream better and also softens blackheads and whiteheads so that they can be removed easily. The application of a face mask in the end helps to tone and clarifies the skin. Face masks are used to treat dry and acne-ridden skin.
