Types of Facials

 Types of Facials: Last month, we x-rayed the benefits of facials as key beauty regimes. This edition takes it a notch higher with a presentation covering the 8 basic types of facials. These are aromatherapy facial, fruit facial, oxygen facial, Hydra facial, European facial, IPL Laser facial, Vampire facial and Wine facial. Each of them is explained with relevant pictures below.

Aromatherapy Facial

This is a holistic skincare practice that combines the therapeutic properties of essential oils with facial massage techniques. This specialised facial treatment not only addresses the physical health of the skin but also focuses on improving the mental and emotional well-being of a person.

Fruit Facial

The vitamins and minerals in fruits can help to improve the apperance of the skin and make it softer and smoother.

Oxygen Facial

This works by delivering oxygen to the skin cells. The oxygen helps to increase cell turnover, which in turn boost collagen production. Oxygen also has anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce the appearance of acne and other blemishes.

Hydra Facial

Hydra facial is a cosmetic procedure to rejuvenate the skin and delay aging. It improves skin texture instantly.

European Facial

This is a comprehensive treatment that provides a thorough, deep cleansing of the face and neck. It is also known as Classic Facial in Europe.

IPL Laser Facial

Intense Pulse Light (IPL) therapy is a cosmetic procedure to improve the skin’s texture. The goal to the give the skin a clearer and more even, youthful look.

Vampire Facial

       It is a combination of microneedling and platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Microneedling uses short, fine needles to puncture the skin. The procedure involves drawing blood from the arm, separating the platelets and applying them back onto the face. The needle pricks are used to ‘injure’ the skin, prompting it to heal itself by producing elastin and collagen. The procedure has many benefits, including younger looking skin.

Wine Facial

Red wine is not only delectable for the taste buds but it also brings great benefits to the skin. It nourishes the skin to give it that natural glow. Wine facial kit product has the power to fade away blemishes from within, delivers a shine, and glow with a hydration boost. One of the procedures uses a mixture of red wine and aloe vera gel as facial mask.
