Facial

A facial is a procedure involving a variety of skin treatments for the face, including: steam, exfoliation, extraction, creams, lotions, facial masks, peels, and massage. They are normally performed in beauty salons but are also a common spa treatment. Facials are generally categorized, for example:

  • European facial
  • LED light therapy facial
  • Mini-facial

Facials are used for general skin health as well as for specific skin conditions.

Facial (sex act)

A facial is a sexual activity in which a man ejaculates semen onto the face of one or more sexual partners. A facial is a form of non-penetrative sex, though it is generally performed after some other means of sexual stimulation, such as vaginal sex, anal sex, oral sex or masturbation. Facials are currently regularly portrayed in pornographic films and videos, often as a way to close a scene.

The performance of a facial is typically preceded by activities that result in the sexual arousal and stimulation of the ejaculating participant. After the prerequisite level of sexual stimulation has been achieved, and ejaculation becomes imminent, the male will position his penis so that the semen discharged will be deposited onto his partner's face.

The volume of semen that is ejaculated depends on several factors, including the male's health, age, degree of sexual excitement, and the time since his last ejaculation. Normal quantities of ejaculate range from 1.5 to 5.0 milliliters (1 teaspoon). Seconds after being deposited onto the face, the semen thickens, before liquefying 15–30 minutes later.

Facial (disambiguation)

Facial may refer to:

  • Facial (sex act), a sex act where an individual ejaculates semen onto another person's face
  • Facial, a personal care treatment which involves cleaning and moisturizing of the human face
  • Facial challenge, in American law, a challenge to a statute on grounds that it is unconstitutional
