What is a European Facial?

A European facial is a comprehensive treatment that provides a thorough, deep cleansing of the face and neck. First, a cleansing is performed to remove makeup and impurities from the face. We then begin the exfoliation process to remove dead skin cells. From there, we perform an extraction process to deep clean the skin, and then apply disinfection to further clean the skin. A mask is then applied to condition and moisturize. The European facial can sometimes include a massage for further relaxation.

A European Facial is also known as a Classic Facial in Europe. It’s a deep cleansing treatment, very basic but thorough. European Facials improves skin quality and overall appearance. It should be done on a regular basis, every three to four weeks.
The life cycle of the skin layer is 28 days, so be sure to book your appointment right after the treatment to keep your skin well hydrated and healthy-looking. It’s quick and not complicated skin treatment.

Symptoms necessitating a European facial often include clogged pores, fine lines, age spots, blemishes or dry and uneven skin tones.

A European Facial Consists Of…

Cleanse

Your skin will be looked at under the magnifying lamp first. Based on your skin type, different cleansers are used. The Cleanser will get rid of make-up, oil, dirt, and dead skin cells. After the skin has been cleansed the face will be viewed through a large brightly lit magnifying glass again.

Exfoliation

Exfoliating the skin is the next part of a European facial. The skin expert or better known as Esthetician will decide if a chemical or physical exfoliator will be used. The exfoliation process will continue to get rid of dead skin cells and prepare your skin for the next part of the treatment which is steam.

Steam

The steam softens the top layer of the skin ( epidermis ) and also the second layer of skin ( debris ) so the extraction is easier to do. Steam is applied to the face for approximately 8 to 10 minutes depending on skin sensitivity. Now that the skin has some moisture and the pores are opened up the extracting of blackheads and whiteheads begins.

Extraction

Extracting is the next, necessary step in European Facials. The extraction is done by specialty tools. The skin is pulled tight because it makes the extraction easier. A small needle or lancet is used to remove more stubborn white or blackheads. Skin should be cleaned after extraction because we do not want bacteria to spread.

Facial Massage

Performed right after extraction. The pressure and time of the facial massage are based on each individuals European Facial as most treatments are slightly different. A masque is applied after the massage to calm the skin of the client down. After every masque, the skin should be toned, moisturized and SPF should be used.
