What Is a Real Facial?

By Liza James, licensed esthetician since 2000 · Surrey, South Surrey & White Rock
The short answer

A real facial starts with a professional skin assessment and is built around what your skin needs that day, not a fixed routine. Techniques, products and time are chosen for you, then followed by a home-care plan.

Signs of a professional facial

A thorough consultation and skin assessment, techniques chosen for your skin rather than a menu script, unhurried time, and clear guidance on home care. Your skin changes with seasons, stress and age, so your facial should too.

The Cantik approach

The Cantik Method is a 90-minute signature facial ($199) that may include facial sculpting, buccal massage, lymphatic drainage, facial reflexology, Gua Sha and Celluma LED, selected on the day. The Cantik Elixir Infusion ($375) adds ultrasound infusion with Complete Elixir.

What a facial is not

A facial is not a quick product application, and it is not a clinical treatment. It is expert, hands-on care that supports healthier-looking skin over time.
