A facial involves a
few basic steps:

*cleansing

*skin analysis, where the
esthetician puts eyepads
over your eyes and looks
at your skin through a
brightly lit magnifying
lamp

*exfoliation, usually while
a steam vapor is directed
at your face.

*extraction of blackheads

*facial massage to relax
you and to stimulate the
blood flow to your skin and
facial muscles

*a mask targeted to your
skin type (dry, oily,
combination, sensitive,
mature.)

*application of toners and
protective lotions
*advice on home skin care

How Often Should I
Get A Facial?

Every four to six weeks is
ideal, that's how long it
takes the skin to
regenerate. At the
minimum four times a year,
as the season changes.
You may need it more
frequently if you are trying
to clear up a case of acne,
especially at the beginning.
