3. Steam
A gentle steam helps soften blackheads and open skin follicles to remove impurities embedded deep within the skin. During the steam, your esthetician may apply an exfoliant or deeper cleansing agent to remove these embedded impurities. Many estheticians will also perform extraction of blackheads, Once these areas are unclogged, your skin can produce its own natural moisturizers more easily.
4. Massage
A professional esthetician is trained to perform facial massage which help improve tone, relax the muscles, and increase circulation while working along muscle fibers. Facial massage can delay the appearance of wrinkles and stimulate lymphatic flow, helping the skin eliminate waste.
5. Mask
Your esthetician will choose a mask for your skin type and specific condition. Specialized masks may help to hydrate, tone, or replenish collagen in the deeper layers. Others may have powerful antioxidant effects to help fight pollution, sun damage, and other environmental conditions.
