What goes into an Urban Oasis Signature Facial?
Exfoliation-Physical (ultrasound or microdermabrasion crystals) and/or chemical (acids and enzymes) exfoliants to stimulate cell renewal, remove dry skin, break down stubborn discoloration (brown spots) and fade post-breakout red/dark marks. Exfoliation also allows action ingredients to absorb deeper within the skin for maximum skin results.
Face, neck and shoulder massage- Not only is it incredibly relaxing, but facial massage helps to increase microcirculation to bring new nutrients to the skin at the cellular level.
Steam- The heat that the steam produces will raise the temperature of the skin and soften the hardened oil in the pore, making it easier for extraction and deep pore cleansing. Steam is also excellent for hydrating the skin as long as the moisture is sealed in with a cream afterwards, to prevent the moisture from evaporating.
Manual extraction- When it comes to clogged pores and blackheads, there is no more effective way to remove them than with manual removal (gentle squeezing) as skin care products will not remove blackheads. In all of the Urban Oasis facials, we use special skin-softening treatments along with steam to prepare the pores for manual extractions—to minimize redness afterward.
Mask- Used at the end of the facial, masks help to lower the temperature of the skin to reduce redness and to deeply hydrate. In all of our facials, we use our signature peel-off seaweed mask. It gives the skin an amazing glow!
