I worked at a dermatology office and our most basic/ shortest facial was $280, many people came in and paid well over $400 for facials so this is definitely a good price!
I once payed 100€ for less steps (Austria) for extraction, mask and moisturizer “acne treatment” but they said it will be more effective if I come back few times after few weeks 🥲 (just wanted to clean out my pores professionally after all the not knowing how to clean the face right after using products) Soooo I wish I did sth like this it would’ve been worth the money with all that steps
@@Givebackthescarf omg yeah i totally get that. I think it definiteley made her skin so much glowier and radiant and stuff. i just wanted to point out how pretty she was lol
My mom raised me on the phrase "don't touch your complexion!" Her mom drilled that into her. I don't freak when other people touch their face but they better keep their hands off mine.
Ok can we talk about how when you visit Korea or Japan and get a facial and they remove all your makeup obviously and the results are great but then you have to ride the train with super shiny face and no makeup and your hair pulled back so it doesn’t stick to your shiny face 🥲🤣 or even WORSE when you go out to eat after and your like this shiny no makeup ball of face and once I got intense micro currents done in Japan and my cheekbones were so defined and shiny I felt like handsome squidward 😂
i HATE that feeling when you have just done an intense skincare routine and then you go out and you can feel dust sticking to your face😭😭😭 is it just me
LMAO handsome squidward. It's like when my boyfriend and I went to the spa and then got lunch. Walked outta the spa all shiny and my hair in a messy bun, no makeup, there was a sauna so i sweated off my deodorant too 😅
I'm an esthetician there's some estheticians who omit massage and say they only focus on treatment facials which blows my mind cause the 10 minute massage portion I throw in relaxes clients, gets blood flowing helps with puffiness helps aid in healing like why wouldn't you 😂
Patting in products is a tip I learned from a Korean influencer, and it really does make a difference. The products go in faster, you’re not rubbing your face causing wrinkles or irritation, and honestly it’s just more satisfying.
No it doesn't change anything. A cosmetic chemist and youtuber called "lab muffin beauty science" made a video explaining how it was useless. It is their most viewed RU-vid short so it's easy to find. It's really just a useless trend.
@@Bigb00bs_umchileanywaysso As long as you aren’t pulling on your skin like you’re pulling a heavy bag or something it should be fine, not sure what the obsession is to not have wrinkles as that’s a normal thing, but I understand that people have preferences.
@@bbydivai bestie you don’t understand the struggle because I have a round face and fat cheeks no matter how skinny I get. So any rubbing on my face means I’m pulling on my cheeks which isn’t amazing when I know it will make them sag💀(idc about wrinkles)
Korean spas, products...if you don't know, you don't know. I'm black (as a reference because we tend to get dark spots really easily), and I swear by Korean products. My skin usually hates everything and is very sensitive.
@@Faerienice ik what hole in the wall means😅 but it's a term usually reserved for small local joints that are a little dingy or easy to miss. The spa looks quite new and spacious so I wouldn't consider it a hole in the wall
I’ve been trying to find one in Georgia and the only place I’ve found is doing them for over $300 and they don’t do nearly as much, so $150 really is a steal
Yeah no, patting doesn't have any benefits, it's just a useless trend. Just rub your products gently. You will actually help the products penetrate by rubbing, more than by patting.
Both facials are great. I practice both American and Korean facial movements. Although a lot of my massage movements I learned from Indian massage videos
You can get mix of this at American spa, except they offer it as separate menu items,m. I've had over hundreds of facials in the US and experienced zero "rubbing in" of products , always gentle patting.
Well that must be your city bc the aestheticians here smooth products onto your face in a series of motions. They would get sued by the rich ladies here if they patted, they'd accuse them of slapping them and start crying wwtears
I'm a licensed aesthetician. There are plenty of places that offer a BASIC facial between $60 and $80 dollars, prices vary based on location and product line. This was more than a basic facial, looks like a very fair price point to me. Also, if you want to try an inexpensive facial, go to an aesthetics school and ask for an esthy that's about to graduate. You'll get a great basic facial for $20-$30
_Yes! It’s important to know when to use hot & cold for any type of therapy. For example cold helps w/ injuries that just occurred like a bump. After those 1st few hours, warm compress is better for its healing. In some cases, alternating can be helpful tho._ 🤓👍❤️
Patting doesn’t actually do anything but set product quicker (because of the fanning) - but it feels like it’s doing something so that’s why they do it.
The attention to detail is so worth the price. I've known friends who have paid almost twice that amount and they haven't gotten that much care. Fantastic results..
It’s funny because American facials can & should be exactly the same but it’s just because places are strict about timing so it’s always rushed and never as nice. We learn the exact same stuff in school though it just goes out the window when you work for a company
My problem is in Korea they make you feel ugly for NOT doing these things. The Korean beauty industry is one of the WORST when it comes to facilitating standards for money.
@karanaki_3256: No. You're doing that to yourself. The 10 Step Korean Skin Care Routine Is Not Real (And Never Was) "The first appearance of the term “10 Step Korean Skincare” can be traced back to an article published in American beauty magazine Into The Gloss in April 2014. In the article K-Beauty expert Charlotte Cho introduces readers to some popular Korean skincare product categories that are not available in the US, while explaining how to layer these formulas and build a skincare routine." Charlotte Cho is a Korean-American entrepreneur and co-founder of Soko Glam, an American website founded in 2012 with the mission of bringing Korean beauty products to a Western audience. Cho rose to international fame in 2015, when she published “The Little Book of Skin Care”, the first English-language book dedicated to Korean beauty. In the book she explains once again how to create a skincare using 10 popular Korean products and dubs this practice as the “10 Step Korean Skincare Routine”. Although the author never openly states that Koreans actually follow this elaborate routine, the book implicitly suggests that was how Korean skincare was designed to work. Shortly after the publication of “The Little Book of Skin Care”, Western media outlets picked up the story and created a mythology around the “10 Step Skincare Ritual that Koreans are obsessed with” and that’s why, in the mind of many foreigners, the “10 Step Korean Skincare Routine” is still considered synonymous with Korean beauty to this day. To be fair, Cho has always been very open about the fact that the “10 Step Korean Skin Care Routine” was something she came up with and in many interviews she candidly admits the “10 Step Skin Care Routine” was never an actual thing in Korea. However, it’s important to keep in mind that she’s still a business owner who sells 10 Step Korean skincare starter kits on her website, so even though she’s always been very transparent about the nature of this routine, it’s hard to imagine she was too pressed about dispelling the myth.
I mean, both of your faces looked shiny coz she patted sunscreen on and didn't rub it in, thats it XD just a facial with some sunscreen sitting on top of your skin providing a reflective layer, groundbreaking
Dang I’m so lucky this place is 15 min from my Home. Living in Koreatown is the best! Yay! I am going to book an appointment thanks for sharing girlfriend!
She gasped because its best not to touch your face unless you've just washed your hands. Any germs, bacteria or dirt on you hands, even if you cant see or feel it can cause breakouts
Your comment only applies if it’s done elsewhere but Korean estheticians wash their hands every time they touch something. You obviously have never been to a place like theirs.
@@Carol-uz9ho You "obviously" didn't watch the video or you didn't understand the voice over? Yeah no one's talking about the Korean esthetician in this context or "a place like theirs". Maybe watch it again to understand who touched who's face to make them gasp? Your comment applies elsewhere too, not here. Lmao 🙄🤡
Y'all reeeaally need to watch the short again! Ffs the customer touched her own face WITHOUT washing her hands, NOT the esthetician... which is why the esthetician gasped when this woman touched her clean face in the middle of the process with unwashed hands. 🙄 Still hard to comprehend??
Her skin looked the same…I’m getting tired of these girls with perfect skin getting these treatments and saying it’s great as if they have problematic skin to begin with 💀
The patting is actually better. It allows your skin to take in the product vs pushing it around and causing more trauma to the skin. When I learned it was better I started to pat in my moisturizer/oils whatever I used on my face after cleansing and it’s really a difference.
No it doesn't change anything. A cosmetic chemist and youtuber called "lab muffin beauty science" made a video explaining how it was useless. It is their most viewed RU-vid short so it's easy to find. It's really just a useless trend. Slapping your skin over and over again will probably cause it way more trauma than just gently rubbing it.
Although that looks really relaxing and nice, I must say a lot of Korean facials ends with not sunscreen but toning cream, it brightens your skin but is temporary (its like a foundation) so just beware
ALWAYS pat lotions and such into your skin! It helps the skin absorb it so much better and spreads it more evenly! It also decreases the chances of getting fine lines on the face !
I don't know where you guys are going for your facials, but most licensed and dedicated estheticians do these things to your face. I ALWAYS include extractions and lymphatic massages in my facials unless my client has severe or active acne. Guys do your due diligence and you'll find a great esthetician!!
I love all the different approaches to holistic well being, beauty and self-care that different cultures all around the globe have. I laugh to picture a fancy lady in Seoul having her indulgent, high tech treatment and then juxtapose an image of a heavyset Russian woman getting thrashed by branches held by po-faced fellow Russian women, then having a sauna mid winter before trudging across the snow to sit in a hut and neck a shot of vodka. I love it! I never get sick of learning how people all around the world live, their philosophies, customs, traditions and values.
I used to go to a Korean hole in the wall esthetician. Lol She was the best!!!!! I never had a facial like hers again. I used to go regularly. She eventually moved. She even had products I couldn't find anywhere else.
It always amazes me how beautiful peoples skin can be. I’m an acne sufferer and I dream of having skin that looks that good one day. Honestly I wouldn’t wear makeup if my skin looked that good.
Warmth causes vasodialatio. Moves fluid back to arteries from veins thus removes puffy. Cold causes vasoconstriction and the opposite. Patting allows the product to sit on the face and ve absorbed vs being rubbed into your finger. 😊
