A facial is the most popular type of non-surgical skin enhancement and is designed to make you look and feel more radiant, rejuvenated and youthful. Your skin gets exposed to the elements and pollution on a daily basis, and the sun slightly less often. With busy lives it can be tricky to give your skin as much attention as ideal. Classic facials involve a series of beauty treatments which aim to restore a healthy, clear complexion and balance to your skin, leaving it soft and fresh looking and you feeling pampered and relaxed. Treatments vary by skin type and what you want to achieve. Using steam to open up the pores to allow extraction, a scrub or peel to remove dead skin cells, massages to relax, drain toxins and stimulate circulation, and the application of a mask to firm, rehydrate or brighten, are typical. If you’re a serious glow-getter your facial might use high tech as well as hands-on treatments to give your skin a boost.
