What is facial all about?
Facials are a great way to heal your skin. Usually, facials are performed by an experienced esthetician who knows much about skin, especially facial skin. Facials cleanse the skin and exfoliate, allowing the skin to absorb the nutrients from the oils and moisturizers after opening and clearing the pores. After facial treatment, your facial skin is well moisturized and looks better. It is a popular treatment option in spas, the second most popular choice after massage.

Steps involved for facial treatments:
- Cleanse your face – your head will be wrapped in a towel to protect your hair. Your hair will then be thoroughly cleaned with a mild shampoo, sponge, or cotton pad. A skin analysis will analyze the skin for common and uncommon skin conditions such as acne, oily skin, aging skin, etc.
- Steaming is often used on the face to open pores and soften blackheads and whiteheads, so they can be removed after steaming. This step should be avoided by people having sensitive skin.
- Extraction can be done by the beautician removing blackheads and whiteheads by hand.
- Facial massage will massage the face to be young and pleasant.
- Masks are of different types and depend on your skin type. People with oily skin will have a different way of applying masks than people with dry skin. You will then relax until the mask fits properly. The mask is then removed, usually with clean water.
- Extraction should only be performed on non-inflammatory acne. Deep, painful pimples such as nodules and cysts should not be squeezed as this can often cause infection and permanent scarring.
- Extraction is usually done with a small, round instrument that applies even pressure to your pimples. Some beauticians like to use their fingers, but make sure they’re wearing rubber gloves if they do. Otherwise, infection or scarring may occur.
Conclusion:
Remember, the best way to maintain glowing skin is to incorporate regular facials into your facial routine. Your esthetician should know about the topical and oral medications you are taking. Strong acne medications like Accutane and Retin A rarely work well when combined with facials.
