The least expensive of all facials, a clean up includes cleansing, exfoliating and moisturizing the skin. The procedure includes gently steaming the face and removing those ugly blackheads and whiteheads. The scrub granules are then very lightly massaged into the skin to stimulate the pores. Regular clean-ups are very effective in removing dead skin and reducing skin problems. These can be safely used by people under the age of 25 years.

However, this facial is best used on people who are concerned about their ageing, wrinkles, pigmented skin or long for a healthy and youthful skin.

 

Such facials are performed by using creams and masks that are enriched with scores of antioxidant and free-radical fighting vitamins, such as vitamin A, beta-carotene and vitamin E.

For effective results, acne facials should be carried out after every two weeks until the problem is completely eliminated.
