How Basic Facials Work

Double Cleanse & Steam Treatment
First, your skin is cleansed twice with products customized to your skin type, whether it is dry, oily, combination, or acne-prone skin. A steam treatment or hot towels may be used depending on your skin sensitivity levels and needs.
Next, your skin is exfoliated, ridding it of those pesky dead skin cells – which contribute to lackluster and dull looking skin! Manual extractions are gently performed as required to clear out blackheads, congestion, and closed comedones.
Following exfoliation, a soothing and hydrating mask is applied to your skin and a facial massage is performed to get blood circulating and enhance the penetration of nourishing serums and ingredients applied to your skin.
All facial treatments are concluded with moisturizer and SPF 30+ to ensure your skin is protected from harmful UV rays and you are left with glazed and glowing skin!

Quick answers to questions you may have

Definitely. Basic facials at Vitalize Skin Clinic are designed to be gentle from start to finish. The products are dermatologist-approved and customized to your skin type—so if your skin usually freaks out over treatments, this is probably one of the safest places to start. Steam and exfoliation are adjusted too, depending on how your skin reacts.
Think of it as a full reset for your skin. First, there’s a double cleanse (because one round just isn’t enough sometimes), followed by a steam treatment if your skin can handle it. Exfoliation comes next, and any blackheads or clogged pores get a little attention with extractions. After that, it’s masks, massage, moisturizer, and SPF—leaving you looking like you just woke up from a 10-hour nap.
It really depends on what your skin’s been up to lately. Some people come in once a month just to keep their glow going. Others might book one before a big event when their skin feels dull or clogged up. There’s no hard rule—you’ll know when your face needs a little extra love.
Not really. Basic facials are meant to feel relaxing, almost like a slow exhale you didn’t know you needed. Extractions can feel a little uncomfortable if you have a lot of congestion, but it’s quick—and your skin will thank you for it later. The rest of the facial is all about soothing, hydrating, and leaving you feeling fresh.
