A back facial for the skin you cannot reach: deep cleansing, exfoliation, gentle extractions, hot towels, light massage and hydrating organic oils to clear congestion and back acne. $109, 40–50 minutes, at our Adams Ave studio in Normal Heights.
Your back has some of the most active oil glands on your body and is the hardest place to cleanse well. Sweat, sunscreen, hair products and friction from clothing build up into congestion, breakouts and rough texture. Our Back Facial in San Diego gives that skin the same attention we give your face.
In 40 to 50 minutes, your esthetician deep-cleanses and exfoliates the back, softens the skin with hot towels, performs gentle extractions where they will help, and finishes with a light massage and hydrating organic body oils. You leave with clearer, smoother skin and a back that feels as relaxed as it looks.
Back facials are for anyone dealing with breakouts, blackheads or bumpy texture on the back and shoulders, and for people who sweat a lot: athletes, cyclists, surfers and gym regulars. They are also a favorite before weddings, backless dresses and beach season, or simply as a self-care treatment for skin that rarely gets any attention.
The Back Facial is $109 for 40–50 minutes. Pair it with an Organic Custom Facial for a head-to-shoulders reset, or with organic back sugaring for smooth, hair-free skin. Members save 10% on every visit, and the clean-skin products we use are available in our shop for home care between treatments.
From first-time facial clients to seasoned skincare devotees, we have a treatment crafted for your unique skin journey.
A back facial is a facial for the skin on your back: deep cleansing, exfoliation, extractions where appropriate, hot towels, a light massage and hydrating organic body oils. It targets an area that is hard to reach and easy to neglect, and where oil glands are especially active.
The Back Facial is $109 and takes 40–50 minutes. Members receive 10% off.
Yes, for many people. Congestion on the back is usually a mix of trapped oil, dead skin, sweat and product residue. Cleansing, exfoliation and extractions clear what is there now, and regular treatments every 4–6 weeks help keep pores clear. For persistent or cystic acne, we will tell you honestly if you should also see a dermatologist.
Yes, when the skin is ready for them. Extractions are done gently after the skin has been cleansed, exfoliated and softened with warm towels, and only where they will help rather than irritate.
No. Exfoliation and the massage are relaxing; extractions can cause brief pinching on congested spots, and your esthetician works to your comfort.
Arrive with clean skin if you can, and avoid tanning or heavy exfoliation for 48 hours before. Afterward, skip the gym, hot tubs and tight synthetic clothing for the rest of the day, keep the area clean, and use a gentle cleanser and light moisturizer at home.
Anyone with back congestion, breakouts or rough texture, athletes and people who sweat a lot, clients preparing for a wedding, a backless dress or beach season, and anyone who wants the same care for their back that they give their face.
Yes. Many clients pair the Back Facial with an Organic Custom Facial for a full skin reset, or with organic back sugaring for smooth, hair-free skin. Ask when booking and we will schedule them together.
