Your skin is exposed to environmental elements every day. Over the years, the sun's rays, pollution, and other damaging agents can take a toll on the skin. A facial cleans, exfoliates and nourishes the skin to promote clear, well-hydrated healthy skin. Facials are recommended once every four to six weeks to maintain the health and beauty of the skin. Each of our customized facials includes a thorough cleansing of the skin, exfoliation, a customized masque and a relaxing facial massage.
