Exfoliation
Skin exfoliation methods remove dead skin cells from the body and face, leaving healthier-looking, smoother skin, says YourPlasticSurgeryGuide.com. Facials are one type of skin exfoliation, performed in conjunction with cleansing, toning, steaming, moisturizing and massaging facial skin. Chemical peels, another type of skin exfoliation, uses fruit acids called alpha hydroxy acids, or AHAs, to exfoliate the skin's upper layers. Microdermabrasions are also skin exfoliators that use crystals to suction out dead skin cells.
Other skin exfoliation techniques include sugar or salt body scrubs that deep-cleanse the first two layers of skin, resulting in a smooth appearance and natural glow. A massage therapist rubs the salt or sugar solution--which may contain essential oils, fruit oils, soap flakes and vegetable fiber--onto the whole body. After 10 to 15 minutes of massaging the scrub into the skin, the therapist covers the body with heavy plastic and lets it penetrate for about 20 minutes. The participant then showers and applies a thin coating of nutrient-rich oil to re-moisturize the body.
Herbal Wraps
Herbal body wraps utilize specific proportions of herbs, sea vegetables, natural clays and essential oils to detoxify the skin. The participant's body is painted with the herbal solution and wrapped in linen or cloths, then she goes into a heat-controlled room for approximately 60 minutes. Participants are unwrapped and may notice weight loss, improved circulation and tighter, toned skin.
Eyelash Extensions
Eyelash extensions are semi-permanent synthetic eyelashes that are affixed to your own natural eyelashes. The eyelash extension artist, usually a licensed esthetician, applies an eyelash extension to each natural eyelash with a specially formulated bonding agent. Eyelash extensions fall out when your natural lash falls out at the rate of about one to two per day. Eyelash extensions are generally reapplied every two to four weeks.
Waxing
Waxing removes body and facial hair from the roots. Hot wax is applied to centralized locations around the body, and paper or cloth strips are used to remove the wax--and hair--from the skin. Waxing isn't a permanent hair-removal solution and usually has to be repeated every three to eight weeks to remove new hair growth.
