3. Extraction: This step targets clogged pores and helps to remove blackheads or other impurities, often using gentle techniques to minimize discomfort.
4. Facial Massage: A relaxing facial massage improves circulation and lymphatic drainage, promoting a healthier complexion and reducing puffiness.
5. Mask Application: A specialized mask suited to men’s skin needs (such as hydrating, purifying, or soothing) is applied to nourish and revitalize the skin.
6. Moisturization: The treatment concludes with the application of a moisturizer or serum to hydrate and protect the skin.

Benefits of a Gentleman’s Facial include:

• Improved Skin Texture: Regular treatments can lead to smoother, clearer skin by addressing shaving-related issues and buildup of dead skin cells.
