SKIN ANATOMY

The skin is the largest organ of the body, with a total area of about 20 square feet. The skin protects us from microbes and the elements, helps regulate body temperature and permits the sensations of touch, heat, and cold. The skin’s color is created by special cells called melanocytes, which produce the pigment melanin. Melanocytes are located in the epidermis

INTRODUCTION

A facial is a family of skin care treatments for the face, including steam, exfoliation, extraction, creams, lotions, facial masks, peels, and massage. They are used for general skin health as well as for specific skin conditions. A good facial will leave your skin looking and feeling better.

DEMONSTRATION

• Deep-cleansing and balancing facials are most often recommended for combination, oily or spot-prone skin.
• A nourishing or hydrating facial will be great for dry skin.
• A brightening facial is usually recommended for dull skin, or skin with uneven pigmentation.
• Anti-ageing facials aim to improve the look and feel of skin that has visible signs of ageing.

FACIAL CUPPING

Cupping is an alternative therapy that uses suction cups to stimulate your skin and muscles. It can be done on your face or body. The suction promotes increased blood circulation, which may help relieve muscle tension, promote cell repair, and aid in other regeneration. It’s also said to improve the flow of your “qi” (pronounced “chee”). Qi is a Chinese word meaning life force.
