A relaxing facial treatment can leave the ladies feeling like a million dollars. Fortunately, getting a facial isn’t exclusively for the womenfolk. Men can benefit too. There is too much information about facials and what they can do to your skin. These treatments are ideal for people looking for acne treatment, skin whitening and anti-ageing solutions.
What Is A Facial Treatment?
Facial treatment refers to the multistep skin treatment process that involves cleansing, exfoliation and skin nourishing. It helps your skin to glow, look younger and maintain a hydrated complexion. A facial provides excellent results if performed as part of a regular skin care regimen.
Facial treatments involve numerous techniques that can be carried out all at once.
The procedure can include one or just a few methods performed by a professional for the best results. To get outstanding results, facial treatments need to be customised to fit the needs of your skin.
A Facial job can involve:
- Essential cleansing to purge dirt or makeup
- Steaming, exfoliation and skin-softening
- Extraction to remove pimples and blackheads
- Mask application and moisturising to relax your skin
The Basic Steps of a Facial Treatment
Consultation
A facial treatment appointment begins with a consultation. It involves liaising with the aesthetician to provide details about your skin concerns.
Preparations
It requires the provision of special instructions and clinic wear.
Cleansing
Here, an esthetician secures your hair. Then he/she cleans your face methodically (double cleansing) using special sponges or cotton pads.
Skin analysis and cleansing
The esthetician studies your skin using bright magnifying light to determine your skin type and underlying conditions, e.g. dehydration, acne or UV damage. It helps to determine the best products to use on your skin.
Steaming
It involves the use of a steaming machine to apply warm steam. The steaming loosens black and whiteheads for easy extraction.
Exfoliation
Exfoliating involves the use of gritty or mechanical exfoliants. Chemical exfoliation involves the use of enzymes for chemical peeling.
Extraction
Extraction is the actual removal of blackheads. Extraction can be intense and needs to be applied carefully on thin or sensitive skin.
Facial massage
Using classic strokes to relax and stimulate facial and skin muscles.
Facial mask
A facial mask is applied in line with your skin type. (Dry, oily, or sensitive)
Final application
The final steps involve the application of moisturisers or serums to soothe your skin. This is the best time to get aftercare advice from the esthetician.
Benefits of Facial Treatments in Singapore
When regularly and adequately handled by a professional, facial treatment has many benefits.
- Reduce mental and psychological distress-a facial stimulates the nervous system and helps to uplift an individual’s moods all-day
- Deep cleaning-facials deep clean and open up pores and removes dead skin cells
- Rejuvenates the skin – facials enhanced skin texture, and they restore the lustrous look
- Tames the aging process-regular facials have the potential to regenerate skin cells and collagen for younger-looking skin.
- The massage during the facial helps to stimulate and improve blood circulation
- Facials help to detoxify and get rid of the waste that accumulates around the face daily
- Facials solve the acne issue and get rid of acne marks
How Often Do You Need Facials?
Getting a facial job is dependent on several factors, including:
- Your Skin Type- If your skin is oily and prone to acne infestation, consider a weekly facial. Other skin types can make do with a monthly facial
- Condition of Your Skin– If you have dull skin or blackheads, you should go for facials depending on the severity of the problem.
- Skin Care Goals-If you want youthful, glowing and hydrated complexion, consider following the facial routine religiously.
- Your Budget-Your budget has a direct effect on your facial treatment routine. Budget properly, but don’t overspend to get a facial.
What to Do Before Getting a Facial
Before you commit to a full facial, consider a patch test. The esthetician should carry it out to determine the best products to use if you have sensitive skin.
- Find a trusted esthetician
Professionals in this field know what will work and what will not for your skin. It’s essential to work with a reputable expert instead of a random one.
- Inform your esthetician of underlying skin issues
Before you get a facial, let the estheticians know about possible allergies or medication you could be using for underlying conditions including pregnancy.
How to Choose the Right Type of Facial for Your Skin Type
There are numerous facial treatment regimens out there. Whether it’s microdermabrasion, LED or acne treatment facial, consider the following aspects of your skin.
Normal or Dry Skin
If yours is normal or dry skin, go for a deep cleansing facial combined with a moisturising mask and massage.
Combination Skin
For oily and normal to dry skin- choose a facial that uses mild products to avoid aggravating the skin.
Oily Skin
For oily skin choose a facial that relies on natural extracts, deep cleansing and extraction.
Sensitive Skin
Choose a facial that uses green tea extracts and avoid exfoliating facials to prevent irritation and skin damage.

“Very good service. Beautician is very experienced and handles my sensitive skin with care. Every facial experience has been very enjoyable. After every facial, she makes sure to cleanse thoroughly and there was no swelling at all. Thumbs up!” – Daisy.N |

“Have been with the salon since 1997. Each time I leave with radiant and clear skin and results that lasts up to 2 weeks. Facials are a treat in itself and a total pampering experience. What I love is that you are not restricted to just one type of facial. There’s a range to suit your skin types at different seasons of your life. Absolutely love the sea salt scrub too.” – Wei Wei |

Review 1 |
“My Cozy Room really offered an almost painless, thorough, non-redness and non-swelling extraction facial treatment. It’s currently my second day after the treatment, and my face did not experience any breakouts as what I did previously in other places. In fact, my skin feels really supple, soft and radiant. This is definitely a place to go if you’re looking for a pampering facial experience that delivers. They really go the extra mile to provide for my comfort, and do genuinely want the best for my skin.” – Yuling.J |

Review 2 |
“I had my facial at My Cozy Room two days ago. My skin is more radiant and lifted. And, I really like the feeling of clean and clear, nice touch!!! |
|
Review 3 |
“My skin was dry and oily before the facial and I had acne marks on my cheeks area and blackheads on my nose. However, after one session of the facial treatment at My Cozy Room, my skin became hydrated and less oily. Also got the glowing effect. My acne marks on my cheeks area are also lightened, not that red and obvious anymore. The blackheads on my nose are also removed during the facial treatment. The extraction was not very painful compared to how other therapists at other facial salons do it. I really enjoyed my time at My Cozy Room! What I’m most afraid of is actually the extraction, because I cant tolerate pain but glad to find the BEST 👍🏻 extraction facial in Singapore here in My Cozy Room!”- Charmaine.T |

“Had a great experience. They took time to explain which components my skin needed more during the analysis. Extraction was done carefully to minimize pain and the extraction marks was much milder than i expected. After the whole session, they also explained to me in detailed how to take care of my skin, what to eat etc. Happy with service provided!” – Olivia.L |

Facial was really good… can feel that the products used was top grade… added a 30min massage and wished it was longer… Best part is that i called today for the appt and they managed to slot me in! Great for busy city pple… having been to many international chains spa, yet this is one of the best that i had. The staffs were very welcoming. I booked a couple room which has an outdoor onsen that is perfect! literally feels like a little kyoto.. just that it is in singapore Thank you for the great experience!” – Michelle.N |
