Facial
Also known as: classic facial, deep cleansing facial
A facial is a multi-step skin treatment that usually includes cleansing, exfoliation, steam, massage and a mask, tailored to your skin type.
What it is
The therapist analyses your skin, cleanses it, exfoliates, may do extractions, and finishes with a mask, serum and moisturiser. Products are chosen for skin types such as dry, oily or sensitive.
What to expect
Facials typically last 45 to 90 minutes. Skin may look slightly red afterwards. Results are cosmetic and temporary.
What to ask before booking
Tell the therapist about allergies, skin conditions, medication and recent treatments. Ask what is included and which products are used.
