What is the purpose of a facial?!?

I was just reading on yahoo answers that facials have a tendency to bring out all the ';junk'; hiding below the surface, they can break you out, they make your face turn red, and to never get one 24 hours before a big event because of all this.





So my question is; why do people get them? Are they ultimately good for your face? If so, why?What is the purpose of a facial?!?

Facials basically do the following: exfoliate your skin, bring out the sebum with a steam treatment, followed by pimple extraction, followed by a moisturizing massage. Then the face needs a few days to heal. You can get about 99% of the benefits of a facial at home by exfoliating with AHA lotion (Alpha Hydrox is my favorite brand) before bed and using a Benzoyl Peroxide lotion during the day under your makeup and moisturizer (Zapzyt is my favorite brand). Stay out of the sun following facials or use of exfoliants and always apply moisturizers after exfoliants and pimle treatments to keep your outer skin layer protected. Squeezing pimples is a whole other topic and until you have real training by a skin care specialist you should just never do it, as it can cause scarring.
well facials make your face feel refreshed from what i hear and i guess it's good once in a wile to clean out all the toxins witch i also hear it does
I don't think a facial is good but I use Clean %26amp; Clear Oygenating Facial Scrub and it's really nice.
