sb10061022an-001If you want your makeup to go on smoothly, you definitely need to take care of your skin! Here’s what to expect from a professional facial treatment from my San Antonio makeup artist experience.

A facial is seen as a pampering treatment, but it can deeply exfoliate, hydrate, and stimulate your complexion. Here are the basic steps within a professional facial.

1. Cleansing is the first step that will use a cleansing product appropriate to your skin type to remove any impurities.
2. Your esthetician will then perform a skin analysis that will determine your skin type and concerns.
3. Your esthetician will exfoliate using a mechanical or chemical exfoliation product.
4. You will then have extractions to remove deep blackheads and impurities. This portion should be uncomfortable but not painful in any way!
5. The facial massage portion will stimulate blood flow in your skin and be relaxing as a part of the facial treatment.
6. The facial mask will be appropriate to your skin type, whether you need to control oil, hydrate, or treat acne.
7. Your esthetician will finish with a deep moisturizer and SPF so that you can face the world with your beautiful skin!
