Have you ever had a facial? Did you like it?

I'm down with the massage, and I even like manicures/pedicures at this point. But I'm not at all sure about this facial stuff.

I think dermabrasion was not so good for me. made me look worse. otherwise, i love the facial

especially muds that increase the circulation

I mean, what exactly are they DOING when they give you a facial? I just wash my face and never do anything special... I don't even wear make-up. So I have no idea what to expect.

Thinking of getting one anyway, just to see WTF.

Whee!

In my experience, facials are the exact opposite of relaxing.

Some things are nice, they massage you with stuff and exfoliate you and stuff. And then they usually put a mask of some sort on you and let that sit for a bit.

And then they squeeze stuff out of all of your blackheads. I have a high tolerance for pain, and facials for me are on the "only if I really need it" end of things. (And I regularly go for eyebrow waxings.)

if they esthetician is good, it's amazing.
if she's an angry eastern european, prepare to be slapped around.

I had one today and it felt quite good! I'm shocked that 50 minutes passed while I was in that room. It didn't hurt, but I guess she didn't do much in the way of "extractions". She was from Southern California, and didn't slap me around.

I inspected my face quite closely after, and it doesn't really look different. But then, I don't know what would've changed. It was a pleasant experience, though.
