Congested skin can cause an onslaught of skin concerns that can manifest through our skin's oiliness levels, texture, whiteheads, blackheads, and acne.
That is why it's great to commit to decongesting routines to ensure that our skin gets to 'breathe' and be at its cleanest and clearest. However, traditional decongesting facials get a bad rep for being painful and too traumatic on the skin, making it hard for those who are still starting on their skincare journey to find it exciting. In fact, the painful facial process and tedious aftercare can make even the greatest skincare enthusiast dread their routine facial session.
What if we told you, however, that there's a way to skip the painful process of decongesting the skin— and get more benefits than your traditional facials?
Why skip the traditional, pricking facials

The traditional, conventional facials we've known often include pricking, a process where the aesthetician pokes or squeezes out skin buildup like whiteheads, blackheads, or pus from acne.
While we feel like it effectively makes our skin healthier, we do more harm than good. Pricking done by untrained hands can lead to:
Weakened skin elasticity due to pulling and squeezing
Developing more noticeable bigger pores
Scars and hyperpigmentation due to too much pressure on the skin
Broken capillaries
Tendency to get infections due to minimal proper skin prep, techniques, and aftercare.
What's the best facial for decongesting skin?
The best way to decongest the skin to reduce whiteheads, blackheads, and breakouts is through a no-pricking, hydradermabrasion facial. The Essential Facial allows you to enjoy all the goodness of decongesting without the unnecessary skin trauma you would normally get from pricking facials.
Pricking Facials vs The Essential Facial
Here’s to give you a better view of how big the differences are between conventional facials and the Essential Facial:
What can I expect from my Essential Facial session?
The Essential Facial includes different steps to effectively remove skin impurities and buildup without having to squeeze your pores to decongest. In every session, you can expect:
Fine mist steaming to open the pores for easier decongesting
Two types of exfoliations to get rid of dead skin cells and improve skin elasticity
No-pricking decongesting through gentle vacuums
Facial cooling to close up the pores
Customized masks & serums to address your current skin priorities
Y-Lifting and lymphatic drainage massages to encourage better facial circulation
Done by medical-allied specialists and nurses with the best, well-maintained technology, you're sure to see visibly more glowing and clearer skin at zero downtime. Expect zero redness and scarring and absolutely no need to hide when you step out of Our Spaces— a stark difference in experience with conventional facials.
How well does the Essential Facial work? When can I see the difference?
The glow you get from The Essential Facial will be apparent in one session. When done consistently, you'll be able to notice visibly cleaner, hydrated & clearer skin and fewer tendencies to break out if you have acne-prone skin.

Making The Switch
Although having to undo the notion that pain equates to results might be hard, especially when it comes to facials, it’s never too late to say no to the unnecessary. Opting for gentle doesn’t have to mean ineffectiveness or a slower pace and The Essential Facial, and the results on the tons who’ve made the switch, are a testament to what breaking those notions could do. Experience it for yourself when you book an Essential Facial near you.
