For other uses, see Facial (disambiguation).
A facial is a cosmetic treatment of the face, commonly involving a variety of skin treatments, grooming steps and deep cleansing of the face by various means including: steam, exfoliation, extraction, creams, lotions, masks, peels, and massage. It is a common spa treatment.
Do not use soap to clean the face, as they contain thickening agents that clog the pores.
