Does Your Back Need a Facial?

2018-04-24 Claire L. Squire ShanghaiWOWeng

When I first heard the term ‘backcial’ I was like ‘whaaat?’. Turns out a backcial is quite simply a facial for your back. I headed down to SkinCity 5.5 on Dagu Lu to find out what it’s all about.

 


Backcial actually stands for ‘back facial’ which is a beauty treatment similar to a facial, but specifically for your back. They target clogged pores, back acne and dry skin.


The aestheticians at SkinCity 5.5 assess your skin at the beginning of every treatment, so the treatment process may vary for each person. Typically, the treatment starts with you lying on your stomach (obviously) and your back given a deep steam after it has been cleansed. This opens the pores and lifts impurities while softening the skin. Then the treatment really begins with an exfoliating scrub and peel to remove any dead skin.

 


The next stage of the treatment is extractions. To be delicate about it, all the gross bits - black heads and white heads - are squeezed, rubbed and popped into non-existence. This is then followed with a rich purifying mask which helps to disinfect and moisturise the skin, followed by a finishing cream.


And, voila! You leave with healthy glowing skin. When I originally heard about this treatment I thought it sounded ridiculous. But the more I thought about it the more it made complete sense. Your skin is more than just on your face and it is the biggest organ of your body. People often have trouble maintaining a skin care regimen for their backs, simply because it’s hard to reach. This spa treatment is a great way to take care of your skin as we move from summer to winter and the lure of low-backed clothing increases.

 


The backcial treatment at SkinCity 5.5 is a 60 minute procedure, and provides the same treatment usually given to your face but for you back. It includes cleansing, peeling, extractions, a mask, pure fluid and a finishing cream. The price is RMB 698.
