Facial

A facial cleans, exfoliates and nourishes the skin to promote clear, well-hydrated skin. A facial is the second most popular spa service after massage. It is sometimes called a "deep-cleansing facial" or or "deep-pore cleansing" facial because of extractions.
A facial begins with a thorough cleansing with cotton pads or sponges and a product chosen for your skin type (normal, dry, oily, combination, sensitive, mature.)
Skin Analysis. The esthetician covers your eyes and looks at your skin through a brightly lit magnifying lamp that reveal various skin conditions.
Exfoliation using a mechanical or chemical exfoliant. Mechanical exfoliation has a gritty texture and usually happens while a steam vapor is directed at your face. Some facials may use steam towels instead.
Extraction of blackheads or whiteheads if you want it and need it. (It can cause broken capillaries and discoloration if done on sensitive skin, or done improperly.) People have different pain tolerance for extractions. They can be uncomfortable, especially on thin or ruddy skin.
Facial massage using classic strokes like effleurage to both relax you and stimulate your skin and facial muscles.
A facial mask targeted to your skin type (dry, oily, combination, sensitive, mature.)
Application of toners and protective creams.
Advice on home skin care.

Wedding Dress

Every woman waits for those amazing days when she can try on wedding dresses for her very special day. The wedding dress is the showcase of the entire wedding and every woman knows she must pick the perfect dress to highlight her features and to make everyone look at her and her alone on her wedding day.Wedding dresses come in a variety of styles and shapes. Popular now is the tight bodice and the strapless bodice that opens out into a long wide flowing skirt. Another popular dress is the mermaid look, a good dress for taller or thinner women. This is a dress that hugs the body all the way down until it reaches just above the knee where it flares out from there. The dress hides absolutely nothing so you have to be able to carry such a dress off in order to look good. When you think of wedding dresses, you think “white”, right? Well, there are a lot of shades of white you can choose from in your gown. You can choose a stark white dress, which is the brightest white available. It looks great on darkly tanned or dark skin tones. Natural white, also called silk white or diamond white looks great on just about everyone and has a natural white coloration.
