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 normally performed in beauty salons, but are also a common spa treatment. They are used for general skin health as
well as for specific skin conditions. Types of facials include European facial,
LED light therapy facials, and mini-facials.
Massage is to work and act on the body with pressure. Massage techniques are commonly applied with hands, fingers, elbows, knees, forear
In professional settings, clients are treated while lying on a massage table, sitting in a massage chair, or lying on a mat on the floor. In amateur settings, a general purpose surface like a bed or the floor is more common. Aquatic massage and bodywork is performed with recipients submersed or floating in a warm-water therapy poor.
BODY PEELING

We’re paying close attention these days to the types of things we put on our skin so the term body peeling can make people nervous. I was until I started reading about what body peels actually are–because people have been using full body chemical peels for thousands of years.
The term “chemical peel” is used for any treatment that uses acids or enzymes to exfoliate your skin. Don’t panic–it’s not nearly as bad as it sounds. We’re not talking about the kind of acids that old Bond villains seemed to own by the vat for some reason. The world is full of lots of gentle natural acids that we encounter everyday.
Enjoy eating apples? Malic acid is what gives your Granny Smith apple its tartness. Old tales of people washing their skin with milk? That worked because the lactic acid in the milk was acting as a chemical peel.
Why body peeling?
Because exfoliation is key to healthy looking skin. We’re naturally meant to shed dead skin cells but the little things don’t always get the hint when they’ve overstayed their welcome leaving your skin rough or scaly.
Dead skin can even build up enough that it can cause a splotchy, uneven tan which is not the best way to start your summer.
Exfoliating removes these dead cells and encourages new cell growth. Plus, it leaves your skin silky smooth and soft.
There are two main types of body exfoliation: physical and chemical.
Physical exfoliation takes the form of scrubs made of natural materials like salt, sugar, coffee grounds, and tiny shards of fruit pits and nuts. I love my salt scrubs, but when you think about it, physical exfoliation is kind of violent to the body.
You’re basically sanding down your skin with rough or sharp grit. They can cause micro-tears in your skin which can lead to discoloration, uneven texture, and leave you open to infections.
They’re also very uneven and messy. Unless you have a bathtub, they can get everywhere. And I really don’t even want to think about what all those fruit pit and coffee scrubs are doing to the plumbing.
Chemical exfoliation uses gentle acids to break down the bonds that hold the top, dead layer of skin cells together so you get even and complete exfoliation. These acids don’t cause cuts and can actually reduce the appearance of acne scars, those tiny skin bumps we develop on the backs of our upper arms, and other discolored spots.
When we love the look of being tanned but hate the idea of that much sun exposure, body peels can give your skin a healthy glow and reverse the aging effects of sun damage. Body peels even help shrink pores, prevent acne, and reduce fine lines.
Body and facial peels generally have different concentrations. For the most part the rule is that facial peels can go on your body, but body peels shouldn’t be used on your face unless otherwise stated.
The two main classes of acids that you find in home body peels are alphya hydroxy acids (AHA) and beta hydroxy acids (BHA).
Alpha hydroxy acids are naturally derived from foods. Malic acid from apples, lactic acid from milk, citric acid from citrus, and glycolic acid from sugar.
Since they are water soluble, AHAs can’t be absorbed deeply into your skin which is good in that you don’t always want to affect the healthy skin underneath the dry stuff, but that also means that they aren’t as good for deep cleansing of oily, acne-prone skin.
Beta hydroxy acids are oil soluble so they can reach deep into pores to clear out dirt, oil, bacteria, and built of skin cells. Most of us are familiar with one main BHA from our acne washes: salicylic acid, which comes from willow and birch trees.
Since they can absorb into your skin like a lotion, BHAs are great for reducing age spots, acne, wrinkles, and skin unevenness. BHAs can also be found in berries, yogurt, pineapple, papaya, and other fruits.
Which body peel is right for you?
Go with AHA peels if your concerns are: acne scars, discoloration, rough skin, dull skin, and sun damage.
Go with BHA peels if you concerns are: body acne, comedones, oily skin, and wrinkles. BHA peels are also typically better for more sensitive skin.
Lots of body peels make use of both types of acids for more complete, effective results.
