Anti Acne Facial
An anti-acne facial is a specialized skincare treatment aimed at reducing acne, preventing future breakouts, and improving the overall health of the skin.
What is an Anti-Acne Facial?
An anti-acne facial is a professional treatment that targets acne-prone skin. It involves deep cleansing, exfoliation, and extraction to unclog pores, remove dead skin cells, and eliminate excess oil. The treatment also includes the application of products specifically formulated to treat and prevent acne.
Key Steps in an Anti-Acne Facial:
- Consultation: The esthetician assesses your skin type and acne severity to tailor the facial to your specific needs.
- Cleansing: A thorough cleansing to remove makeup, dirt, and oil.
- Exfoliation: Using mechanical or chemical exfoliants to remove dead skin cells and promote cell turnover.
- Steam: Steaming opens up pores, making extraction easier and more effective.
- Extraction: Manual removal of blackheads, whiteheads, and pimples.
- Mask: Application of a soothing and anti-inflammatory mask to calm the skin.
- Toning: Use of a toner to balance the skin’s pH and remove any residual impurities.
- Moisturizing: Application of a non-comedogenic moisturizer to hydrate the skin.
- Sun Protection: Application of sunscreen to protect the skin from UV damage.
Benefits of Anti-Acne Facials:
