What is a Facial?A facial cleans, exfoliates and nourishes the skin to promote clear, well-hydrated skin. It is sometimes called a "deep-cleansing facial" or "deep-pore cleansing" facial because of extractions. As well as being beneficial to the skin, a facial is deeply relaxing. The massage can ease problems such as headache, sinusitis and shoulder/neck tension.
The Basic Steps of a Facial
