Thanks Alistair for Sharing Your World. For your edification in case you get that ‘other’ facial that ES is referring to, a facial in women’s speak is where you go to the salon (where they might also offer a massage, do your hair, or give you a manicure or pedicure (or all of the above). You sit in a little booth or room, usually with Enya playing in the background or other new agey type music, smelling aromatherapy candles in soothing scents. You pay someone to slather stuff on your face (this is where the two facials collide, but ES’s type isn’t usually slathered but squirted. And there are all kinds and I don’t judge!) The regular stuff in the salon smells of lemon or mint or other pleasing scents. This stuff might be a bit grainy to make sure the pores on your face are cleaned out or scrubbed (and some are quite harsh, so it pays to know what’s being spread). The cosmetician puts a warm, wet towel over all this mess (you might have cucumbers on your eyes too, as they apparently tighten the skin) and you relax, listen to soothing music and breath in the air (and some of us fall asleep) and your face comes out all cleansed and fresh. It’s very invigorating, but not exactly ‘manly’. Good lord. The whole comment is dedicated to the facial question. All your answers were great, and introverts RULE. Have a great week!
