Back Treatment

A back facial is a specialized skincare treatment designed to target the skin on your back, addressing concerns such as acne, dryness, and uneven skin tone. This treatment mirrors the steps of a traditional facial but is tailored to the unique needs of the back, a common area for breakouts due to sweat, friction, and difficulty reaching.

✨How its works:

  1. Cleansing: The treatment begins with a thorough cleansing to remove dirt, oil, and impurities from the skin’s surface.
  2. Exfoliation: Physical scrubs or chemical exfoliants (such as alpha hydroxy acids or beta hydroxy acids) are used to slough off dead skin cells, smooth the skin, and unclog pores.
  3. Extractions: For individuals with back acne (“bacne”), extractions may be performed to clear blackheads and whiteheads, preventing further breakouts.
  4. Mask Application: A mask suited to the client’s skin type is applied—for example, clay masks for oily skin or hydrating masks for dryness.
  5. Massage: A relaxing massage is performed to improve circulation and relieve tension.
  6. Moisturizing & Protection: The facial concludes with moisturizers and, if appropriate, sun protection to maintain skin health.

Benefits of a Back Facial

  • Deep Cleansing: Removes built-up oil and impurities from hard-to-reach areas.
  • Exfoliation: Improves texture, reduces roughness, and encourages cell turnover.
  • Acne Treatment: Helps unclog pores, reduce inflammation, and minimize breakouts.
  • Hydration & Nourishment: Leaves the skin soft, smooth, and hydrated.
  • Even Skin Tone: Fades dark spots, scars, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
  • Relaxation: Relieves muscle tension and promotes a sense of well-being.
  • Enhanced Appearance: Prepares the back for occasions where it might be exposed, ensuring a clear and radiant look.

  • Active infections or open wounds
  • Severe sunburn
  • Known allergies to skincare ingredients
