Discover the Different Types of Facial Cleansing and Find the One That Suits You Best
Taking care of your skin starts with one essential step: facial cleansing. It’s the foundation of any skincare routine, helping to remove dirt, oil, and impurities while preparing your skin to absorb other treatments more effectively. At Kayakama Spa in Edmonton, we believe that every skin type deserves a personalized approach to cleansing. That’s why we offer a range of facial cleansing treatments to meet your specific needs.
Let’s explore the most popular types of facial cleansing and how each one can benefit your skin.
1. Classic Facial Cleansing
This is the go-to treatment for anyone looking for a deep yet gentle cleanse. It typically includes:
Makeup removal
Cleansing with a gentle face wash
Exfoliation
Steam and extraction (if needed)
Toner and moisturizer application
Best for: Normal, combination, and mildly congested skin
Benefits: Removes surface impurities, unclogs pores, refreshes and hydrates the skin.
2. Deep Pore Cleansing Facial
Designed for skin prone to blackheads, acne, or excess oil production, this treatment targets the deeper layers of your skin.
Best for: Oily and acne-prone skin
Benefits: Clears out clogged pores, reduces breakouts, balances sebum production, and improves skin texture.
3. Hydrating Facial Cleansing
If your skin feels tight, dry, or flaky, this treatment replenishes lost moisture while gently cleansing.
Best for: Dry and dehydrated skin
Benefits: Restores hydration, soothes irritation, and leaves skin soft and glowing.
4. Anti-Aging Facial Cleansing
This type of cleansing uses targeted products rich in antioxidants and collagen-boosting ingredients.
Best for: Mature or tired skin
Benefits: Smooths fine lines, firms skin, improves elasticity, and boosts radiance.
5. Sensitive Skin Facial
Specially formulated for delicate skin types, this treatment avoids harsh chemicals and focuses on soothing the skin.
Best for: Sensitive or reactive skin
Benefits: Calms redness, reduces inflammation, and strengthens the skin barrier.
6. Exfoliating Enzyme Cleansing
This type of facial gently removes dead skin cells without abrasive scrubs by using natural fruit enzymes or mild acids.
Best for: Dull or uneven skin
Benefits: Improves skin tone, unclogs pores, boosts cell renewal, and gives a radiant glow.
7. Detox Facial Cleansing
Great for urban skin exposed to pollution and stress, detox facials purify and refresh with activated charcoal or clay masks.
Best for: Stressed, polluted, or congested skin
Benefits: Draws out toxins, reduces dullness, and revives skin clarity.
8. Micellar Water Cleansing (Express Cleansing)
Ideal for a quick refresh, micellar cleansing uses micelles (tiny oil molecules) to lift away dirt and makeup.
Best for: All skin types as a light, everyday cleanse
Benefits: Quick, gentle, no rinsing needed – perfect before a spa treatment or after a workout.
