Basic, Harmony, Fire & Ice and Enzyme Facials Compared Every person is different, and so is everyone's skin. Regular cleansing is needed to free the pores of extra sebum and dead cells, because they keep the skin from breathing and make the complexion dull. But which facial is right for you depends first on what kind of skin you have, and only then on the procedure itself. ## Start with your skin type There are several ways to classify skin, but the most common one, and the most convenient for a specialist, is by how oily the skin is. Normal skin has a balanced level of moisture and oil. It looks smooth and even, without extra shine or flaking, and the pores are almost invisible. It rarely suffers from dryness or oiliness and tolerates different products well. ## How the skin is read Skin type can change with age, with the season, with hormonal shifts and other factors.

Below are the types of facials on the studio menu and the skin each one is meant for; the full descriptions are on the facials page. ## What an enzyme facial is The base of the procedure is enzymes. These are ferments that break the bonds between proteins and so remove dead cells from the surface. The mix exfoliates but does not damage the protective barrier of the skin. The exact composition of the "cocktail" is chosen by the specialist according to the request and the state… There are three kinds of enzymes — plant, animal and bacterial. Plant ones include papain from papaya and bromelain from pineapple. Each kind has its own task in improving the quality of the skin. ## When to wait Read the list below carefully. If one or more points apply to you, it is better to postpone the procedure and choose another one after talking to the specialist: ## Related - [The complete aftercare bible](https://eyedecorstudio.com/about/skin-journal/the-complete-aftercare-bible/) - [Lamination, henna or tint?](https://eyedecorstudio.com/about/skin-journal/lamination-henna-or-tint/) - [Classic vs Volume vs Russian Volume](https://eyedecorstudio.com/about/skin-journal/classic-vs-volume-vs-russian-volume/) - [One-Day or Two-Day Lash Course: Which One Do You Need?](https://eyedecorstudio.com/about/skin-journal/one-day-or-two-day-lash-course-which-one-do-you-need/) - [Lash Mapping Basics: Matching a Set to Every Eye Shape](https://eyedecorstudio.com/about/skin-journal/lash-mapping-basics-matching-a-set-to-every-eye-shape/) - [What's in a Lash Starter Kit — and What You'll Use First](https://eyedecorstudio.com/about/skin-journal/whats-in-a-lash-starter-kit-and-what-youll-use-first/) - [Mannequin Practice: Training Your Hands Before the First Live Model](https://eyedecorstudio.com/about/skin-journal/mannequin-practice-training-your-hands-before-the-first-live-model/) - [Classic or Volume: What a New Lash Artist Should Learn First](https://eyedecorstudio.com/about/skin-journal/classic-or-volume-what-a-new-lash-artist-should-learn-first/) - [Retention Problems New Lash Artists Face (and How to Fix Them)](https://eyedecorstudio.com/about/skin-journal/retention-problems-new-lash-artists-face-and-how-to-fix-them/) - [How to Find Your First Lash Clients After Training](https://eyedecorstudio.com/about/skin-journal/how-to-find-your-first-lash-clients-after-training/)
