Cleanup

 

A cleanup, in the context of skincare, is a basic and quick treatment focused on thoroughly cleansing the skin. It's often considered a simpler, more streamlined version of a full facial

The main purpose of a cleanup is to remove dirt, oil, dead skin cells, and other surface-level impurities that can clog pores and lead to issues like blackheads and breakouts. The typical steps involved in a professional cleanup include:

1. Cleansing: A deep cleanse to remove makeup and surface-level grime.
2. Exfoliation: A mild scrub or exfoliant is used to gently remove dead skin cells.
3. Steaming: The skin is steamed to open up the pores and soften any impurities.
4. Extraction: Gentle removal of blackheads and whiteheads.
5. Mask: A basic mask is applied to soothe and refresh the skin.

Cleanups are popular for maintaining healthy skin and preventing future breakouts, especially for those with oily or acne-prone skin. They are less intensive than a facial, which typically includes more steps like a prolonged massage, specialized serums, and targeted treatments for specific skin concerns.
