Cleansing and Massage
Before starting on the actual facial and extractions, your facialist should thoroughly yet gently remove any traces of makeup from your face. This is followed by a gentle exfoliation using a mild scrub (for combination to oily skin) or lotion (for normal or dry skin), massaged in for up to 10 minutes. Exfoliation shouldn't cause stinging - if so the scrub may be too harsh or your skin may be sensitive to the ingredients.The massage works to relax your facial muscles as well as increase circulation for a radiant complexion. The scrub exfoliates dead skin, revealing new cells underneath the topmost dull layer so skincare ingredients can penetrate more easily in the later steps.
