A facial  recharges your skin geting rid of impurities, while you  relax at the same time. In fact, it is a great bonding session among friends, particularly if you are overworked and looking for a little pampering.

Many are apprehensive about getting facials because of the extraction, claiming the pain is excruciating, while for others, it makes them cry. Here’s what you should expect during your first facial.

Facials are a relaxing experience if performed by a licensed esthetician. An esthetician is a licensed professional who has spent a minimum of 300 to 1500 hours of training and has passed both a written and practical exam overseen by the state that will enable them to practice there. They are allowed to work on the epidermis or the outer layer of the skin. They can also specialize in specific treatments such as microdermabrasion, LED treatments, and light chemical peels, among others. Under the experienced hands of A LOT MORE PARLOUR, your skin will be safe and hopefully free from harm.

Understanding a facial

A facial is a set of skin care treatments for your face with the goal of exfoliating your skin, removing impurities, and dead skin.

A facial treatment  can be as extensive, for example, a full body massage in the package, or others where you are only given the basics. Essentially, a facial treatment usually includes steaming, exfoliation, and extraction. We will incorporate facial masks, peels, and facial massages. It essentially depends on the package you purchase.

How a facial is performed

The outline below is how a generic facial is done, though may vary depending on the packages you purchase.

Preparation – One of the first steps you should do is to prepare for it. We will make you change into a comfortable robe if you are getting a full body massage afterwards, or give you a foot bath with a shoulder massage. Depending on the package, you might be required to go to the treatment area direct. We may ask you to lay down on the bed and give you a brisk shoulder and facial massage, followed by the smelling of relaxing oils such as lavender. The preparation will usually depend on the package you have purchased. Cleansing – We will ask you to wash your face with a special soap with a set of instructions. For example, we have specific soaps for different skin types, such as oily or a dry skin. On the other hand, we might ask you to lay on a comfortable bed and our esthetician will wash your face for you.

This facial cleansing is usually very soothing. Our esthetician will use mild products to gently cleanse your skin using tender, moderate strokes. It also serves as a massage, thereby relaxing you further.

Exfoliating – After getting rid of makeup and cleansing your skin, you will next be treated to a thrilling exfoliation. We use gentle exfoliates or a more straightforward facial scrub. Whatever the case, the goal of the exfoliating process is to get rid of dead skin cells and other skin impurities that aren’t embedded in the skin. Our esthetician will wash this off and you will be ready for the next step.

Steaming – We mightl skip this part, but will do it if it is a necessity. Steaming helps open your pores so that your skin is better prepared for the extraction – meaning to say it won’t  hurt as much. Our esthetician will usually switch on the steamer and point it in the general direction of your face. You will be asked if you can breathe properly or if you are uncomfortable in any way. You should speak up if you are uncomfortable, because you have to be under the steam for 10 to 15 minutes. Extraction – After the steaming comes the most challenging part of most facials – the extraction! However, don’t worry. Under the hands of our gentle esthetician, it shouldn’t hurt. In fact, most people fall asleep during this process! The esthetician will remove skin impurities that are within the outer layer of your skin – which includes mild acne, blackheads, and whiteheads. If anything is too deep, then the esthetician will recommend a dermatologist to have it extracted. We don’t typically touch acne that is about to be burst, or pop acne that aren’t ready to be popped. Finishing up – We might use a straightforward method and will put a cold towel over your face to close the pores, or use mild laser applied over a gauze mask. You will also be given the option of chemical peels and facial masks.

There are various chemical peels and facial masks to choose from. These items will depend upon your need – for example, there are facial masks for acne-prone skin, for skin lightening, for oily skin. Facials are equally as therapeutic for men as for women. Your esthetician will recommend which facial mask will be best for your skin type.

Fact is, between menstruation, sexual intercourse, and childbirth, the vagina withstands a lot, plus a change in hormones and pelvic floor issues to the mix, sometimes the vaginal area is anything but comfortable.

Vaginal steaming is an age-old natural remedy cleanses the vagina and uterus, regulate menstruation, and ease period cramps and bloating.

How is it supposed to work?

Vaginal steaming directs herb-infused steam into your vagina. The process is pretty simple: You just sit or squat over a container of herbal-infused steam. We use the best and recommended herbs like, mugwort, wormwood, chamomile, calendula, basil and oregano among others.

We have a special seat (“throne”) with a hole for the steam to come through. It’s a little more challenging to do at home. The average steam session lasts between 20 and 60 minutes. Depending on how hot the water is, the steam may cool sooner.

What are the purported benefits?

Vaginal steaming is used as a natural remedy to clean the vagina, uterus, and the entire reproductive tract. But the purported claims don’t stop there.

Benefits.

Infertility, Irregular periods,  Menstrual pain, PMS Endometriosis

Hemorrhoids,  Hormone imbalances,  Vaginal discharge,  Vaginal infections.        

Postpartum Healing

Looking back to the cultural traditions of vaginal steaming, it was most often used for postpartum healing from a vaginal delivery. This makes sense as heat improves circulation and brings blood flow to the area, which could be helpful for tissue healing. 

In a study published in the International Ayurvedic Medical Journal, studied women recovering and healing from a vaginal delivery. The study participants were given vaginal steaming treatments beginning at six weeks postpartum, and then compared to women that received standard treatment of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medication. 

Those receiving the vaginal steaming intervention experienced pain relief like the control group, normal wound healing, reduced inflammation and infection, and a beneficial change in vaginal pH. Granted, this was a small study, and there isn’t much additional modern research to corroborate.  

At  A LOT MORE PARLOUR, our professionals understand the importance of having a good ageless body. By expertly examining your body type, we will choose the best body scrubs that will not only make your body look young, but also soft and nourished. 

WHAT IS A BODY SCRUB?

A body scrub is a physical exfoliant that is usually either salt or sugar-based, used to remove dead skin cells from your skin. The abrasive ingredients (sugar, salt) are worked into the skin and work as a natural exfoliant, clearing the skin of older skin cells so your skin feels soft supple and nourished. It works by stimulating skin cell turnover for smoother, brighter skin, and can help restore skin's natural moisture, prevent future acne breakouts, and make you feel great and relaxed! 

Whatever your skin type may be, we can find one that works for you to remove the dead skin cells without doing any harm to your skin. It helps restore your skin back to its natural, soft and supple state and is a great addition to any skincare routine.

We use exfoliating body scrub after you have showered or bathed, and after you have used shower gel, soap or body wash. This ensures your skin is clean and prepped for exfoliation, and the warm water ensures your skin is damp and soft. Warm water also opens your pores to ensure your body scrub can be as effective as possible in removing any unwanted skin cells.

We use non-toxic ingredients that are kind to your skin and will use natural exfoliants such as salt, or sugar. The fine, coarse qualities of natural ingredients are enough to remove dead skin cells without using manufactured or synthetic ingredients.

Sugar body scrub

Sugar-based body scrubs are less abrasive, gentler exfoliant and a natural source of glycolic acid (hail all those with dry skin!). Sugar speeds up rehydration, and the particles are rounder so less tough on your skin. 

Salt body scrub 

Salt-based body scrubs have gritter particles. This means they are harsher on skin and great for attacking rough areas like feet and elbows. The detoxifying properties in salt (the trace minerals) are natural purifiers, too, thus  great for relieving congestion, drawing out pore-clogging toxins, and skin restoration.
