by Richard Cox
In general, as meant by the name itself, facial relates to skin treatments for the face. It involves deep cleaning and unclogging of the pores to draw out buried dirt, impurities and excess sebum, skin analysis, exfoliation, blackheads/whiteheads extraction optionally, facial massage, mask application, and application of toner and moisturising cream.
All forms of facials include these standard steps and they just deviate mostly on the length, the skin care products used, the name, special add-ons like maybe a neck or scalp massage to go with the facial treatment, and other methods infused to make the facial treatments more customised and personalised.
Take a look at the different facials currently available at different spas and salons:
Bio-Lift Facials
Normally used for people aged 40 and beyond, a Bio-Lift Facial increases lymphatic drainage and blood circulation. This type of facial has a face-lift effect creating a tighter appearance of the skin. This is a non-invasive and non-surgical facial that assists create a nice facial form. This facial particularly tones the skin and trims dark circles and puffiness.
AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) Facials

Alpha hydroxy acids or AHAs are derived from fruits and flowers and will rejuvenate the skin allowing dead and sun-damaged surface skin to peel off to bring out a fresher-looking skin. This facial also helps stabilise oily or acne-prone skin and improves skin tone.
Paraffin Facials
Paraffin is notable to have a soothing effect on the skin. It incorporates many nutrients well absorbed by the skin and so is a favorite for facial use. During the facial, warm paraffin is put on your skin to restore and hydrate the skin. Although this mostly works well on various skin types, paraffin facial isn't for those with sensitive, blemished, or oily skin as it is likely to clog your pores. But for other skin types, the paraffin facial will wipe out toxins and get rid of wrinkles and lines.
