What does a FACIAL consist of?

Eyebrows? Just the cucs and mud? Please explain.

Usually the facialist will do a cleansing, some sort of exfoliation, they'll use some steam to open your pores, they may remove blackhead, etc., and some sort of moisturizer. You usually have a really nice face, neck and scalp massage in the process. They will do waxing of eyebrows, etc., but usually this is an extra.

Basically is seem like they paint your face with one thing, massage it in, then clean that off and paint you with something else. It's much more pleasant than I'm making it sound! I usually find it very relaxing and have been known to fall asleep!

There are many types of facials. A standard facial usually includes massaging the face, cleansing, toning, steaming, exfoliating and moisturizing. Other types of facials include: a peeling mask designed to lift dead skin and encourage new skin growth; a paraffin mask, which helps increase circulation and rehydrate the skin; and a deep cleansing facial which purifies and revitalizes the skin.

Where I go as the stuff is sitting on your face they massage your shoulders....I wish I could afford it every week but once a month is about all I can swing for facials and massages!
They put steam on your face to open the pores and then pick out your blackheads (blech) LOL....oh and they start off with rubbing some stuffon your hands and then putting your hands into these heated gloves, feels wonderful!
