There are many types of spa treatments, but there is no such thing as a European Facial. This spa activity is just an American marketing term used to describe a standard facial, but makes it sound more appealing. Here is a look at what a normal facial involves and the benefits that it provides.
The first part of a facial involves cleansing the skin. This step removes extra makeup and dirt from the skin. The appropriate cleanser will be used according to individual skin type to avoid possible irritation. A professional understands exactly how to properly clean the area. It is vital to make sure that nothing remains on the skin so that treatment will be most effective.
Extractions are another part of a facial where a technician gets rid of blackheads and other pimples. Many times the skin will be steamed ahead of time to soften the hard oil that creates the blackheads. This is the safest way to remove this kind of skin imperfection. A professional has the right tools to get the job done leaving the least amount of damage behind. A person must never try to pop a pimple at home because it can lead to infection or other complications. Extraction may cause some level of discomfort, but should not be done for longer than a ten minute period. People with many blackheads on the face will not have them removed all at once since it may be too hard on the skin. They may have to return for further treatment at a later time.
The next step of a facial is exfoliation. This part eliminates dead skin and excess oil that can block pores. The top layer of skin is delicately removed. This takes away the risk of developing blackheads, whiteheads, or other pimples. It is especially important when a person is exposed to high levels of air pollution or has problematic skin. Exfoliation improves the complexion and heightens blood circulation which prevents breakouts and other signs of aging. Temporary redness will disappear in a short amount of time.
Finally, a person receives a neck and shoulder massage. This is the last step which will help to relieve stress. Massage is known to get a person to relax. When a person is relaxed, they will feel refreshed and reenergized. After a long day at work, this will feel extremely good.
Facials are a regular part of spa activity. No matter what terms are used to describe them, they can take years off of the face and make the complexion much more clear. They take stress away, properly clean the skin, and leave a person feeling vibrant and refreshed.
