Vajacial vs Facial
Both treatments offer incredible skincare benefits—but for different areas. Learn how vajacials and facials compare to find the right treatment for you.
Understanding the Difference
Facial
For your face
A facial is a multi-step skincare treatment for your face that includes cleansing, exfoliation, extractions, masks, and moisturizing. It targets concerns like acne, aging, dullness, and dehydration.
Vajacial
For your bikini area
A vajacial applies the same facial concepts to the bikini area. It includes cleansing, gentle exfoliation, ingrown hair extractions, and soothing masks to address concerns specific to intimate skin.
