So, you see The Nook is now offering facials. You have read a short explanation on what it is and why you should get one. And you have now taken the plunge and booked your first Organic Facial at The Wellness Nook...but what's going to happen? What should I wear? Do I get naked? Should I bring anything? What should I expect?
Facials are a deep cleaning of the skin on your face and even down your neck and into the skin over your upper chest known as the décolleté. So, to answer the what to wear or do you get naked questions. Be comfortable is always my thought. Because your esthetician will be working on your face and upper chest you will be taking off any clothes that covers these areas. You also want your shoulders uncovered for some light neck shoulder massaging throughout your treatment. Like in a massage you are always covered with a sheet and blanket to stay comfortable and cozy.
At your first facial visit you should arrive a few minutes early, as there is a special intake form for this treatment. Nothing too long just some question on you skin, your personal skin care practices and other information to help your esthetician choose the right products for you. All of the products at The Wellness Nook are organic, vegan and gluten free. We have product for average skin, sensitive skin as well as oily and acne prone skin. So, the intake and a quick consultation help determines which line is best for you.
Now your in the treatment room, snuggled up in our heated table under the blanket.
First, we wrap your hair in a small towel to keep the product from getting in it.
Then after covering your eyes, using the magnifying lamp, inspect your skin for the last assessment of deciding which products are best for your skin.
Now your line is picked and the relaxation and cleansing begins. Literally, the esthetician will begin massaging in a cleanser. There will also be an exfoliant, a mask, toner and a moisturizer used throughout the treatment.
Products get removed with heated moist towels, and pores begin to open with the products, heat and steam.
With nicely open pores, the esthetician is able to do manual extractions of stubborn black heads, leaving your skin cleaner than ever.
With your mask, chilled rose quartz crystals will be massage to the skin around your eyes reducing shadows and puffiness brightening your face.
Treatments and completed with a deeply relaxing facial massage with organic facial moisturizer leaving you glowing.
