Facial spa treatments are a cosmetic complex aimed at protecting the skin from the harmful effects of the external environment and eliminating the influence on the epidermis of unfavorable factors associated with bad habits (poor diet, alcohol, smoking, etc.). Being exposed to negative influences, the skin gradually becomes thinner, becomes dry and dull. Spa facials help eliminate cosmetic defects, restore skin elasticity, and restore good color.

Ground coffee, table salt and crushed grape seeds mixed with honey, sour cream or heavy cream have a mild exfoliating effect. Masks based on .
Massage
Before performing the massage part of the procedure, experts recommend applying avocado pulp or a mixture of vegetable and essential oils to the skin. The facial should be done carefully, in a circular motion. It's great if you massage your décolleté area.
After the massage, you need to rest a little so that the applied composition is absorbed into the relaxed skin. After 7 – 10 minutes, wash your face with warm water.
Hydration and nutrition
