A vagifacial, commonly known as a vajacial, is an innovative skincare treatment designed specifically for the vulvar area—the external parts of the female genitalia. Much like a facial for the face, this treatment focuses on cleansing, exfoliating, and hydrating the skin around the bikini line and vulva.
With a growing focus on self-care and wellness, the vagifacial is gaining popularity among women looking to maintain and enhance the health of their intimate area.
What Is A Vagifacial?
A vagifacial treatment is a multi-step process that addresses common skin concerns in the intimate area. This skincare ritual focuses on aesthetics and maintains the delicate balance of the vulva’s pH. It also helps prevent common issues like ingrown hairs, keeping the area fresh and moisturized. The treatment typically lasts 30-50 minutes and is designed to cleanse, exfoliate and hydrate the skin while promoting a healthy microbiome.
What Does The Vagifacial Involve?
The vagifacial at Cosmo uses a curated range of products from Foxy Affairs. These products have been specifically designed to rejuvenate and care for the vulvar area. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of what to expect during the treatment:
- Kitty Cleansing: The treatment begins with a gentle cleanse using the exclusive Kitty Rinse. This is designed to clean the area thoroughly, without disrupting the natural pH balance of the vulva.
- Kitty Exfoliation: After cleansing, an exfoliating scrub or Kitty Scrub, is applied to remove dead skin cells and reveal fresh, soft skin. This step helps prevent ingrown hairs, a common issue caused by hair removal methods like waxing or shaving.
- Ultrasonic Scrubber: To ensure a deep cleanse, the treatment includes the use of an ultrasonic scrubber. This tool helps in further purifying the skin by unclogging pores and removing trapped impurities. It’s especially useful for addressing blackheads and acne in the bikini area.
- Kitty Acupressure Massage: Once the exfoliation is complete, the skin undergoes a relaxing acupressure massage using Kitty Drops, a serum packed with hydrating and soothing ingredients. This step boosts circulation, reduces inflammation, and leaves the skin feeling soft and revitalized.
- Enzyme Mask: The treatment concludes with a revitalizing enzyme mask designed to brighten and moisturize the intimate area. The mask helps reduce dark spots and promotes a more even skin tone, leaving the vulva feeling smooth and rejuvenated.
Benefits Of A Vagifacial
A vagifacial offers numerous benefits for the health and appearance of the intimate area. Here’s how it can make a difference:
- Improved Skin Health: Vagifacials can help prevent ingrown hairs and reduce skin irritation caused by hair removal. By exfoliating and deep-cleansing the pores, the skin is less likely to develop bumps or irritation from shaving or waxing.
- Odour Reduction: A vagifacial helps to balance the pH levels of the vulva, which in turn helps prevent unwanted odours. The use of pH-balancing cleansers, like Kitty Rinse, ensures the natural microbiome is maintained, promoting overall freshness.
- Enhanced Appearance: The treatment can help lighten dark spots and create a more even skin tone. Regular exfoliation and hydration work to reduce hyperpigmentation, often caused by friction, hair removal, or hormonal changes.
- Rejuvenation: The vagifacial is perfect for reducing blackheads and acne that may develop in the intimate area. By unclogging pores and deeply purifying the skin, it rejuvenates the area, making it look and feel revitalized.
- Prevention of Ingrown Hairs: By exfoliating the skin and using techniques like the ultrasonic scrubber, the treatment helps remove dead skin cells and unclog hair follicles, minimizing the risk of ingrown hairs after shaving or waxing.
Is A Vagifacial Right For You?
If you experience common issues like irritation, ingrown hairs, or uneven skin tone around your bikini line, a vagifacial might be the perfect solution. Women who regularly wax or shave will particularly benefit from the treatment, as it helps prevent ingrown hairs and soothing post-hair removal irritation. Additionally, those looking to enhance the appearance of their intimate area by reducing dark spots and improving hydration will find the vagifacial highly beneficial.
