Visiting a Day Spa is a fun, joyous occasion whether you are by yourself or with friends. You don’t want to be nervous or appear like you don’t know what you are doing. Your first day spa facial is going to not only relax you, but also cleanse and refresh your skin. It will give you that dewy, soft facial glow we all love. Here are some tips for you to know during your first day spa facial. Facials at a day spa are done by an esthetician or a cosmetologist. Either license holder may work on your skin or they fully understand the dermis and its functions. Only a licensed person should break the skin for instance in order to do extractions. Some day spas allow massage therapists to do “Facials” but those types of facials are superficial and are just product on and then product off type of facials.

While massage facials are relaxing, it may not be the type of facial you are expecting. Be sure to understand the type of facial you picked for your session .Some spas will provide a facial gown for you to wear. Simply remove your bra and fasten the gown to close around your body in such a way that your shoulders remain bare and your arms are free. Having a wonderful shoulder, arm and hand massage is one of the best things about having a day spa facial. There are lots of wonderful “face-up” massage techniques to experience. Lie on the facial bed under the sheet or cover and be face up with your arms either outside or inside the cover. To begin, the general procedure is that your face is cleansed twice.

The first time is just to remove make-up and surface debris. The second cleansing really gets your skin super clean. An exfoliate is next and this procedure sloughs off dead skin cells and helps to loosen the skin so that if any extractions are to take place, the pores are slightly open at this point and ready to have impurities removed. Sometimes the esthetician uses a manual exfoliate which is gritty, yet feels good. If the esthetician feels your skin needs a little bit more attention, they will use a type of exfoliate that has an enzymatic ingredient. This is a natural enzyme that will react with your skin to remove the dead layer and leave your skin ready for extractions.
