What Is a Vajacial & Its Benefits?
The importance of maintaining the balance and health of your skin isn’t limited to the needs of your face, arms and legs. In fact, your skin is one giant organ – your body’s biggest to be exact! While some areas may need a little more attention than others, it’s important to tend to and care for each part of your skin in its own way.
Since the vulva and surrounding pubic area are often overlooked, we’re here to explain the wonderful benefits of a vajacial and how it can revolutionize the way you care for your skin.
What is a vajacial?
The word “vajacial” comes from the combining of two words: “Vagina” and “Facial” - and that’s exactly what a vajacial is, a special facial for your intimate area. This custom formulated treatment targets all the potential issues your skin may have based on its needs and daily encounters with sweat, clothes, ingrowns, and more!
What are the benefits of receiving a vajacial?
Some ladies find themselves struggling with ingrown hairs, a little extra pigmentation, or just unhappy, irritated skin along the bikini line. Vajacials are great for those trying to soothe their intimate areas from these negative side effects since this facial really targets those problem areas for smooth, happy skin.
How do vajacials help your skin after a wax?
Vajacials are especially great after removing your pubic hair! Following your waxing session, your skin may be slightly irritated and inflamed. A vajacial can not only help with calming your skin cells and reducing redness, but it also minimizes the likelihood of the development of ingrown hairs once your regrowth begins to surface.
Who can receive a vajacial treatment?
If you have a vulva, this skin care treatment is for you! While this service does cater to helping skin with pre-existing concerns, it is not limited to just that. A vajacial can be used as both a proactive and reactive service. After all, you don't always need a reason to treat yourself!
What to expect from a vajacial treatment
If you’ve never had a vajacial before, the concept can seem strange. I mean, what else can a vajacial be outside of some nourishing creams and gels, right? Well, I’m happy to inform you that there’s actually much more to it! Let’s get into it!
What’s included in a typical vajacial?
Included in this luxurious treatment are a few key services. To begin, there’s an enzyme treatment used as a gentle exfoliant for your skin that eats away any gross dead skin clogging your pores. Also included is a high frequency treatment and LED light therapy. When combined with a brightening mask, these services act as a way to lighten up dark spots and even out skin tone and skin texture.
Is there any aftercare you should know about?
Everyone's a little different. If there’s any aftercare needed for your skin’s specific concerns, your esthetician should discuss that with you either during your service or before you leave.
Other common questions about vajacials
Outside of the basics, there are some other frequently asked questions we often receive, so they’re included here!
How much is a vajacial?
Vajacial prices can vary between providers, but here at The Garden Of Skin, you get 45 minutes of relaxation for only $65! This price does not include hair removal – that will need to be added on separately if you want to combine the two treatments.
How long does a vajacial take?
Plan for about 45 minutes to an hour. Depending on the offerings of your esthetician, it’s always good to leave a little extra time to discuss any questions or concerns about your skin that you may have.
How often should you get a vajacial?
For impactful results, try to maintain a regular vajacial schedule. While frequency of your visits will depend on the needs of your skin, visiting your esthetician once a month for treatment is recommended.
