A facial is a professional skin-care treatment designed to cleanse, exfoliate, hydrate, and improve the overall appearance of the facial skin. It is typically performed in a spa or salon. The primary goal is to address the client’s specific skin needs and concerns. Facials usually combine several customized steps. In many cases the protocol targets particular issues such as acne, dryness, dullness, or the visible effects of aging. The following is a summary of the procedures included in most facials.

Yes, "aesthetics" and "esthetics" refer to the same concept, but the difference lies primarily in spelling.

• Aesthetics is the standard spelling used in philosophy and the arts, and it is more common in British English. It refers to beauty, appearance, art, or the way something looks for feels. This is more often used in cosmetic applications.

• Esthetics is an alternative spelling used in American English, though it is less common and more often seen in specific contexts like medical or cosmetic fields (for example, "esthetic surgery" or "esthetician").  It usually refers to skin care, facial treatments, and the work of an esthetician.

An Esthetician is a licensed skincare professional  who specializes in improving the appearance and health of the skin.  The skin is the biggest organ in our bodies.   They can provide many services depending on the licensing program in each state.  For the most part, the licensed esthetician can provide facials, waxing, brow laminations, and lash lifts, but the professional also guides clients with product and treatment selection, teaching their client about their skin care needs and type.   With additional training the licensed esthetician may provide other services like chemical peels, dermaplaning, and microdermabrasion.   Some estheticians also provide “makeup” services as well.
