Celebrities are known for their extravagant pampering before hitting the red carpet.  To get “red carpet ready,” celebrities often expect the most luxurious and over-the-top body and skin care treatments; and this year at the Oscars it was the caviar facial.  This indulgent treatment is based on protein-rich Caviar—known to deeply nourish the skin, improve cell metabolism, increase firming action and provide essential antioxidant protection—and a high concentration of pearl extract.  The Caviar facial also provides anti-aging properties, with its unique combination of antioxidants and AHA's, which will leave your skin soft and supple with a radiant glow.

The Champagne & Caviar Facial, available at Face Focus medical spa, located in Englewood, New Jersey, is a rich hydrating treatment that combines a mini enzyme peel with moisturizing caviar mask to produce truly glowing, radiant skin. The Caviar Facial incorporates various massage techniques that help detoxify and penetrate the ingredients into the skin.  Some of these techniques include effleurage, pressure-point technique and lymphatic drainage. Indulge in cleansing, toning and gentle exfoliation, followed by a luxurious face, neck and décolleté massage with a protein-rich Caviar mask.

Champagne & Caviar Facial - Phase 1

This facial is a three-phase process, beginning with the exfoliation stage, in which the client undergoes a 10-minute massage with an enzyme peel.  The enzyme peel helps exfoliate the outer layer of the skin by gently removing the impurities and polishing the skin to brighten and soften the complexion, while creating the optimum skin condition for deep penetration of the nourishing ingredients of the Caviar Facial.

Champagne & Caviar Facial - Phase 2

Once the dead skin cells have been removed, the skin is prepared to absorb the contents in phase two, the 30-minute pleasantly aromatic caviar extract massage.  This is the most relaxing part of the whole experience, as I use gentle strokes to work the caviar extract into the skin.  In addition to its soothing properties, this part of the process also uses lymphatic draining to flush toxins and relax your mind and body.  Another massage technique used in this treatment is effleurage, or stroking, which uses light and deep methods. Light stroking is designed primarily to be a sedative. Deep stroking is a therapeutic compression of soft tissue, which encourages further lymphatic drainage.

Champagne & Caviar Facial - Phase 3

During the third and final stage of the Caviar Facial, I apply a hydrating caviar mask, which can be left on overnight, if desired, for maximum penetration.  This treatment uses the sea’s riches to soothe, repair, and moisturize damaged skin or skin that is sensitized by excessive dryness. Saturated with the valuable nutrients of caviar, pearl extract, hyaluronic acid and alginates, the skin is rebuilt, repaired and robust.  It regains incomparable elasticity, suppleness, and comfort.

Although the Champagne & Caviar Facial is particularly effective on mature skin, it is suitable for all skin types, excluding the acneic, very oily skin clients.  It is mostly recommended as a boost in hydration for everyone interested in having a plump, glowing complexion for a particular event, since its effects last for 4-5 days.  To top off your experience at Face Focus, each client will receive a glass of champagne upon his or her arrival.  The lavish $125 Champagne & Caviar Facial is a full hour of pampering and is ideal for achieving a radiant glow!
