Step One: A Deep-Down Cleansing

When you sit down for your European facial, you will most likely be in a  reclined position, and your hair will be secured with a cap to prevent any chemicals from damaging the hair. Once you are made comfortable, the skin care specialist will cleanse your skin with an exfoliating scrub to slough off dead skin cells and expose healthy skin beneath. This part of the European facial treatment will also remove excess oil, dead skin, and even old makeup that may be clogging your pores.

The exfoliating step of the European facial technique will also encourage the skin to renew itself by creating new skin cells to repair the micro damage caused by the scrub. Once the exfoliating scrub is complete, the skin care specialist will steam your pores open to ensure that all the dirt and other debris has been swept away and that skin treatment ingredients can be absorbed to the fullest. Finally, this step of a European facial is completed by placing warm towels over the face to enhance the steaming process and the expansion of pores for 10-15 Min.
