Deep Cleanse Acne Facial in Santa Monica
Deeply Cleanse, Refine & Rebalance Congested Skin
If your skin is feeling congested, clogged, oily, or prone to breakouts, my Deep Cleanse Acne Facial is designed to thoroughly purify the skin while leaving your complexion refreshed, balanced, and visibly clearer.
This results-oriented facial combines deep cleansing, exfoliation, ozone therapy, extensive extractions, facial massage, a customized treatment mask, and LED red light and infrared therapy. Each treatment is customized according to your skin's current condition and the areas that need the most attention.
What Is Included in the Facial?
Deep Cleansing
We begin with a thorough double cleanse to remove makeup, oil, environmental buildup, and surface impurities while preparing the skin for the treatment.
Compresses
I don’t use steam in my facials, so instead I do a round of hot towel compresses to soften the skin. The water is infused with MSM, Magnesium, and Baking Soda to help skin soften and get prepped for extractions. Hot towels allow for full face coverage unlike a steamer where it is usually on one side of the face. Most people cannot handle/don’t like the sensation of steam anyway! Hot steam on the skin feels nice but think of a hot shower, the skin post shower immediately feels tight and dry, this is the worst condition to have your skin right before extraction.
Exfoliation
A customized exfoliation helps remove accumulated dead skin cells and surface buildup, leaving the skin smoother and preparing it for the next steps of the facial. Options include Enzyme Refresher, Charcoal Microfoliant, Apple Aha (professional product) or a combination.
Extensive Professional Extractions
If your skin needs extractions, this is where we spend the time. I carefully work through areas of congestion to remove blackheads, whiteheads, and other superficial impurities.
Extractions are performed professionally and thoughtfully rather than rushing through them. The goal is to thoroughly cleanse the skin while minimizing unnecessary irritation.
Ozone Therapy
Via Diana Ralys Skin Health skincare line, I use products like Oxygenating Spot Treatment, Skin Barrier or Skin Savior Oil to help breakouts subside and kill off any bacteria.
Facial Massage
After the more intensive cleansing portion of the facial, a relaxing facial massage helps you unwind while supporting circulation and leaving the face feeling refreshed. Facial massage will depend on the skin’s condition. More breakouts will yield a more gentle detoxing massage. Less breakouts we can work on circulation with a deeper massage to bring oxygen to the skin.
Customized Treatment Mask
Your mask is selected based on what your skin needs that day. Depending on your complexion, we may focus on calming, hydrating, balancing, or clarifying the skin.
LED Red Light & Infrared Therapy
The facial concludes with LED red light and infrared therapy, a gentle, non-invasive treatment used in professional skincare to support the appearance of healthier, calmer, more rejuvenated skin.
