A facial is a cosmetic treatment of the face, commonly involving a variety of skin treatments, including: steam, exfoliation, extraction, creams, lotions, masks, peels, and massage. Normally performed in a beauty salon but it is also a common spa treatment. A facial cleans, exfoliates and nourishes the skin so that the skin is clear and hydrated. Facials are one of the most popular treatments at a beauty salon or spa retreat because the treatment is also very relaxing.
There are a number of different types of facials that you can ask or look for. The traditional facial involves cleaning the skin’s deep pores. Additionally:

• Aromatherapy facials use essential oils selected to address your facial skin’s needs.
• Acne facial treatments prevent acne outbreaks by using ingredients that cleanse, normalize and equalize the skin.
• Hydrating facial treatments address your skin’s tone if it is extremely dry.
• Anti-aging facials use vitamin C and alpha- or beta-hydroxy acids to plump up skin, smooth out wrinkes and fine lines and encourage collagen production for strength.
• Galvanic facials use a gadget to apply a direct current to the skin and introduce water-soluble substances through the skin. Galvanic facials increase the skin’s ability to absorb products.
• Biolift facials use a biomask that target the dark circles under the eye by tightening and toning the skin.

A facial is ultimately an indulgence that is also very relaxing. Furthermore, a facial allows you maintain a healthy and youthful looking skin. This is because a facial:
- removes dirt particles embedded in the skin which cannot be removed by washing alone. Instead a facial removes particles by opening the pores and extracting the particles.
- improves blood circulation in the face with a facial massage and supplying oxygen and nutrients to skin’s epidermis and dermis.
