DEEP CLEANSING • ANTI AGING
1hr 10mins+
A classic spa treatment focused on deep cleansing, exfoliation, and hydration of the face. It includes double cleansing, exfoliation, steaming, deep extractions, high-frequency treatment, Jelly mask, Serums, Moisturizer, and Sunscreen. This comprehensive approach aims to rejuvenate the skin, improve its texture and tone, and promote a healthy, glowing complexion.
In a European facial, you will most likely be in a reclined position. Once you are comfortable, the skin care specialist will cleanse your skin and gently exfoliate, removing dead skin cells to reveal the healthy skin beneath. This part of the European facial treatment will also remove excess oil, dead skin, and even old makeup that may be clogging your pores.
The exfoliation step in a European facial plays a key role in promoting skin renewal by removing dead skin cells and encouraging the production of new ones. After the exfoliating scrub, a warm towel is applied — not only for relaxation, but also to begin preparing the skin for the next steps. Following this, the skincare specialist uses steam to open the pores, helping to clear out any dirt and debris and allowing treatment products to be better absorbed. To complete this step, a blackhead removal gel is applied for 10–15 minutes to enhance the effects of the steam, further soften the pores, and make extractions easier and more effective.
For clients dealing with acne, congestion, or clogged pores, the next step in the European facial is deep extraction. During this process, the skincare specialist carefully removes blackheads, whiteheads, and other impurities from the skin, focusing on the problem areas to help clear out buildup and prevent future breakouts.
After the extraction, a high-frequency treatment is applied to the skin. This step helps to kill acne-causing bacteria, reduce inflammation, and accelerate healing. It also minimizes redness and helps tighten the pores, leaving the skin calmer, cleaner, and more balanced.
At this stage of your European facial, your esthetician will apply a facial mask tailored to your specific skin type and needs. Once evenly applied, the mask will remain on the skin for approximately 15 minutes. This step is designed to not only nourish and treat the skin, but also to relax your mind and enhance the overall therapeutic experience, complemented by calming music for full-body rejuvenation.
After the mask is gently removed, your esthetician will complete the treatment with the application of a customized serum, moisturizer, and your choice of tinted or regular sunscreen. At Vida Spa, we are proud to use only high-quality professional skincare products sourced from top brands in the USA, Korea, and Germany.

To get the best results from your European facial, it’s important to follow a few simple guidelines:
Before your facial, avoid using harsh skincare products, especially exfoliants, and refrain from waxing or shaving facial hair for at least a few days to prevent irritation.
After your facial, protect your skin by avoiding direct sun exposure and refraining from using any harsh products for at least 6 to 12 hours, or longer if advised. Try to avoid touching your face, and stay well-hydrated. Applying a gentle moisturizer regularly will help maintain your glow.
If you are using any medications, especially blood thinners, prescribed retinoids, or Accutane, please inform our skincare professionals before your treatment. Also, be sure to use sunscreen daily, and reapply every 2 to 3 hours to keep your skin protected.
Individuals with sensitive skin may experience more redness.
Unclog and shrink the size of pores: Facials are designed to clean your pores on a much deeper level than a typical daily rinse. Overtime, pores fill and widen with the buildup of dirt, oil and debris. Cleaning your pores helps to clear your skin and prevent acne on the face, which can thus change the size of your pores. Please keep in mind to not pick your skin, as it needs to be cleaned and handled by a professional.
Slow the aging process: Since facials keep your skin feeling healthier, rejuvenated, glowing, and smoother, you will feel younger as a result. Not only will you feel younger, but you will also look like it, as facials reduce age spots, hydrate the skin, reduce wrinkles, and promote collagen production. Collagen production is essential to the skin as it prevents premature aging, wrinkles, and sagging. By taking part in the facial process, facials help to reverse aging as nutrients and antioxidants enter the skin.
Even the skin tone: An increase in skin cell turnover is also responsible for evening the skin tone. As new skin cells reach the surface of your face, it makes your skin smoother and removes scars, blemishes, dark spots and more, which makes your skin softer and more even. Please note that dark spots largely come from the Sun’s UV rays, so even if you receive a facial, you should always make sure to wear sunscreen when exposed to the Sun; people of any age can receive dark spots.
Relieve face tension: Facials are good for your skin but they can also alleviate any pain in your muscles. The physical act of receiving a facial massage can actually help to reduce tension in your face and neck muscles. If you have been feeling stressed, a facial will ease your muscles and make you feel at peace.
European facial treatments are generally safe, but some risks can occur, including allergic reactions, skin irritation, breakouts, and infections, especially with pre-existing skin conditions. Proper preparation and aftercare are crucial to minimize these risks. Avoid exfoliating products and waxing before the facial, and protect your skin from the sun afterward.
Monthly treatments are generally recommended to aid in skin cell turnover. This helps maintain a healthy glow and address issues like dullness and congestion.
While many clients have experienced excellent results from our European facials, individual outcomes may vary. We cannot guarantee specific results, as every skin type responds differently. For the best guidance, we recommend scheduling a consultation with one of our licensed estheticians or booking an appointment with our AI Skin Analyzer for a personalized, in-depth skin analysis. During your visit, we’ll discuss how the European facial works, determine if it’s suitable for your skin type, and set realistic expectations based on your unique skin goals.
