An excellent choice for all skin types. Cleanses, exfoliates and hydrates to maintain healthy, glowing skin. All of our facials are enhanced by massage of the hands and feet to encourage relaxation of the mind and body. A European facial includes deep cleaning, extraction, exfoliation, and massage. The first step to the facial is cleaning the face. The cleaning process helps remove makeup and dirt from the face leaving a clean “canvas.” Extraction involves removal of facial impurities. The next step is the exfoliation process. During the exfoliation, the older and dead skin cells are removed. This can be done through mechanical or chemical devices. Mechanical means that the spa professional will scrub your face with an abrasive treatment.
Chemical process uses scrubs to exfoliate the skin which contain salicylic acids, glycolic acids, fruit enzymes, citric acids, or malic acids.
A soothing mask is also placed upon the client’s face. This mask is actually picked using the client’s skin type. The client’s skin type may be dry, oily, sensitive, or a combination skin type.
The European facial usually ends with a face, neck, and shoulder massage. The massage helps relieve tension in the body allowing for a better blood flow and circulation.
Good candidates for European Facials are people who need minimal to average treatment of their skin and pores such as removal of minor blackheads and whiteheads. People who have severe acne problems would be better off seeing a dermatologist, especially because European facials may initially even cause more breakouts, making medicinal treatments a better option.
