Picking The Right Facial

You should choose a facial based on the type of skin you have and the problem you want addressed:

1. Normal/Dry Skin
For normal to dry skin, choose a facial that includes deep cleansing, a moisturising massage and steam treatment to remove extra dirt. Opt for a moisturising mask or a hydrating serum to finish off. If your skin is on the dry side, avoid too much exfoliating.

2. Combination Skin
Since combination skin has oily and normal to dry skin, make sure mild products are used. This is so that you don’t aggravate the oily skin into breakouts and the dry skin doesn’t get drier with products used for oily skin.

3. Oily Skin
For oily skin, opt for a facial that uses natural extracts, focuses on deep cleansing and extraction with toning, a face mask and a protective serum. The mask will remove excess oils, shrink the pores and make the skin soft.

4. Sensitive Skin
For sensitive skin, avoid facials that exfoliate, or use AHAs as these irritate the skin further. Opt for a facial with a gentle massage that uses products containing green tea or chamomile; oxygen facials and others that hydrate the skin also work for sensitive skin.
