HydraFacial Cleansing and Hydration Facials
A HydraFacial is a facial treatment described around cleansing, extracting and hydrating. This page reads two descriptions of how it works.
How two sources describe it
www.newbeauty.com says the first step is cleansing the skin, then painlessly extracting before infusing the skin with a hydrating serum.
Mindbodygreen (www.mindbodygreen.com) quotes an NYC-based skin expert who calls a HydraFacial a multi-modality treatment performed with a device that simultaneously cleanses, exfoliates, extracts, hydrates, and infuses serums into the skin.
What to expect, in short directives
- Expect a sequence: cleanse, then extract, then infuse.
- Expect one device doing several jobs in one visit.
- Ask which serum goes in, since both sources say serums are part of the treatment.
Words in these descriptions
- Cleanse: the first step in the www.newbeauty.com description.
- Extract: the second step in that description.
- Infuse: the step that puts a hydrating serum into the skin.
- Multi-modality: several actions in one treatment.
