The right facial does more than provide a deep clean: it sloughs dead skin cells, helps clear up blemishes, and can even reduce the signs of aging. If you scheduled your first men’s facial with the talented team at New Paradise Men’s Spa in Manhattan, NY, it’s helpful to know what to expect so that you can prepare for the visit. The day spa offers several options for effective, wellness-promoting treatments.

Brief Consultation

The men’s facial begins with a brief consultation on why you want the skin treatment and what products you normally use. The esthetician may make adjustments to the approach based on your skin type and goals, such as cleansing or reducing fine lines and wrinkles. They will also make care recommendations tailored to your needs.

Cleansing, Exfoliation & Extraction

The process officially starts with a thorough cleansing, followed by a steam to open up the pores for easier oil and impurity removal. Depending on the facial selected, you may receive exfoliation treatment to remove dead cells for a smoother and younger look, as buildup contributes to an uneven texture and a rougher appearance.

Most facials include extractions, which usually occur on the nose and forehead. Tell your esthetician if you experience any pain. The experts use a special tool or their gloved hands to eliminate blackheads and whiteheads.

Mask & Moisturizing

The next part of the men’s facial involves a special mask for your skin type or another treatment, such as one for acne, to achieve a radiant and healthy complexion.

Facials typically end by applying a moisturizing product suited to your skin type. Leave your skin alone for the rest of the day so that it has time to breathe and absorb the products.
