— Why it is different

Shaving already exfoliates your skin.

A razor does two jobs at once. It cuts the hair, and it scrapes off the top layer of skin. That second job is exfoliation, whether you meant it or not. For a daily shaver it happens five mornings a week.

The result confuses a lot of men. The surface feels raw and tight after a shave. At the same time, the pores along the jaw stay blocked. Skin can be irritated and congested on the same day, and those two problems usually get opposite advice.

Thicker skin, coarser hair

Men's facial skin is usually thicker and oilier. The hair is coarser and the follicles are larger. That changes the pressure and the products your esthetician reaches for.

One strong face wash is not the fix

Many men try to fix both problems with one harsh cleanser. Strong washes strip the surface, so the skin feels tight and reacts. Then the oil returns and the pores block again. This facial separates the cleaning from the calming. Our full facial menu lists every option we run.

— Choosing a length

Let your shaving week pick the length.

The Men's Purifying Facial comes in three lengths. Do not choose by how your face looks today. Choose by how often a razor touches it in a normal week.

One or two shaves a week points to Men's Purifying Facial 30 min $70. Three or four shaves points to Men's Purifying Facial 45 min $90. Shaving every morning points to Men's Purifying Facial 60 min $110. A daily shaver needs both jobs done well, and both take time.

If shaving is not really part of your week, read about the deep cleansing facial in Lynnwood instead.

Beards and long stubble

A beard changes the answer. You are not exfoliating your cheeks every morning, so that skin behaves differently. Only the edges you line up get shaved. Men's Purifying Facial 30 min $70 or Men's Purifying Facial 45 min $90 usually fits a bearded guest.

Booking one for someone else

You can book this for a partner, a parent or a friend. If you do not know his shaving week, Men's Purifying Facial 45 min $90 is the safe middle. Gift cards let him pick his own day instead.

— First time

What happens if you have never had one.

Here is the plain version. You lie on your back on a padded table. Only your face and neck are worked on, so you stay dressed.

The room is dim and quiet. Your esthetician sits behind your head and works from there. Name one thing at the start, such as tight skin, blocked pores, or a quiet hour. Ask for lighter pressure at any point and it changes. Our guide covers the rest of the menu in the same plain way.

Will it feel awkward?

This is the real reason many men never book one. The first ten minutes can feel unfamiliar. After that the strangeness usually fades, and the hour turns quite boring in the good way. Nothing about it is embarrassing, and your esthetician does this all day.

— Coming from work

The appointment you book on the way home.

Most men who try a first facial do it on a weekday evening. It is the easiest hour to set aside. Our Lynnwood studio sits minutes from both I-5 and I-405, near the Alderwood interchange, so it is a short turn off the drive home.

Arriving after a full work day suits this facial. You shaved eleven hours ago, so the razor irritation has settled. A day of sweat, sunscreen and dust is sitting on top of it. Your esthetician then works on your skin as it really is at the end of a day.

Our hours run to 9 PM Monday through Saturday and to 8 PM on Sunday, so an evening booking fits. The 30-minute length is the easy first try on a short night. For the same idea done on your head, read about the scalp massage in Lynnwood. Call (206) 688-9700 or book online.

— Afterwards

What your face looks like when you leave.

Your skin looks clean when you leave, and it can look a little shiny for a while. It may look slightly flushed at first. That normally settles the same day. Nothing is left on your face that anyone would notice across a room.

Give shaving a rest until the next morning if your face feels tender. One night off is the most useful thing you can do afterwards. If you came straight from work, a quiet drive home is a fine way to end it.

— Step by step

How to plan a mens facial around a work day.

Four things to sort out before you book. None of them take long, and each one makes the appointment work harder.

  1. 1 Count your shaves in a normal week Once or twice, three or four times, or every morning. That one number is the most useful thing you can bring to the booking page.
  2. 2 Match the number to a length One or two shaves fits Men's Purifying Facial 30 min $70. Three or four fits Men's Purifying Facial 45 min $90. Every morning fits Men's Purifying Facial 60 min $110.
  3. 3 Pick the weekday you can leave work on time Book ahead, because we do not take walk-ins.
  4. 4 Come as you are, and do not shave on the way A morning shave is fine by the evening. Skin is more sensitive straight after a razor, so leave it alone. Stubble and beards are welcome.

— Common questions

Asked & answered.

What is a mens facial at D4 Season?

+

A mens facial at D4 Season is the Men's Purifying Facial. It is shaped around skin that gets shaved. Book it as Men's Purifying Facial 30 min $70, Men's Purifying Facial 45 min $90, or Men's Purifying Facial 60 min $110.

Which Men's Purifying Facial length should I book?

+

Count your shaves in a normal week. One or two shaves points to Men's Purifying Facial 30 min $70. Three or four points to Men's Purifying Facial 45 min $90. Shaving every morning points to Men's Purifying Facial 60 min $110.

Do I need to shave before a mens facial?

+

No. Come with a beard or a few days of stubble. Your esthetician works around the hair and treats the skin that is exposed. A morning shave is fine by the evening. Just do not shave right before you come in, because skin is more sensitive then.

I finish work at six. Which length still fits that evening?

+

All three lengths fit an evening, including the 60-minute version. Choose Men's Purifying Facial 30 min $70 if you want the shortest first try. Book ahead, because we do not take walk-ins.

Why does my skin feel dry and get blocked pores at the same time?

+

Shaving scrapes the top layer off, so the surface feels raw and tight. Oil still builds up underneath, so the pores along the jaw stay blocked. That is why skin can be irritated and congested on the same day. This facial is built to handle both.

What do I wear during a mens facial?

+

You stay dressed. You lie on your back on a padded table, and only your face and neck are worked on. A licensed esthetician does the work. You can come straight from work and lie down as you are.

Will it feel awkward if I have never had a facial?

+

The first ten minutes can feel unfamiliar. After that the strangeness usually fades, and the hour turns quite boring in the good way. Nothing about it is embarrassing. Tell your esthetician at the start whether you want the steps explained or a quiet hour.
