What is a facial?
A facial is a set of skin care treatments for your face with the goal of exfoliating your skin, removing impurities, and dead skin. At Onyeka Tefari, facials are generally a relaxing experience, that is performed by a licensed esthetician. An esthetician is a licensed professional who has spent a minimum of 300 to 1500 hours of training and has passed both a written and practical exam overseen by the state that will enable them to practice there. We are allowed to work on the epidermis or the outer layer of the skin. Our estheticians have received additional training in specific treatments such as microdermabrasion, LED treatments, and light chemical peels, among others.
