A facial is a step-by-step skincare routine that targets specific skin concerns. A basic facial cleanses pores, exfoliates dead skin cells and moisturizes the skin. This is usually recommended for beginners or as an entry level treatment. There are however different types of facial treatments that are more intricate and expansive. These treatments include chemical peels, microdermabrasion, acne or ageless facials and dermaplaning. What to expect during facial treatments? Unlike a facial spa treatment, facials are designed to target common skin concerns. The techniques are the same, the level of detail is just different. Facial treatments all include cleansing, steaming, exfoliation and extraction of any impurities like blackheads or whiteheads. After this is done, the therapist will then focus on your specific skincare concern and apply a mask, peel, or any needling that it required. All products used will be specific to your skin type, based on the examination the therapist did on your skin after cleansing it.  How to get the best facials?
