According to the description of this $290 facial, “You’ve never felt anything like it!” Unless your dentist performs facials, that’s probably true. Along with typical cleansing, a pair of gloved hands massage inside your mouth and jaw, a technique said to help lift and define the face. Caity Weaver of the New York Times wrote of the experience: “It felt how ASMR sounds, except that it was also intermittently briefly uncomfortable.” Weaver also reported that her skin looked fantastic.
Is your skin more into morning or night? Let your face know you’re listening with this $165 facial, which purports to be timed to skin’s different needs throughout the day. Just like when your stomach demands chocolate to get through a midday slump, your face supposedly needs a pick-me-up or a calm-me-down. A facialist will chat with you–and your face?–to determine the best protocol.
