A facial and a Vajacial are both skincare services, but they treat completely different areas of the body. A facial focuses on the skin of the face. A Vajacial is an external bikini-area skincare service. Once you know which area you want treated, the choice becomes much simpler.
What Is a Facial?
A facial is a skincare service for the face. At Makeup By Mary LLC, facial options include the Express Facial for a shorter, relaxation-focused appointment, the Classic Facial for a traditional facial with cleansing, exfoliation, steam, a mask, massage, and hydration, and the Deluxe Facial for a more elevated relaxation experience. There is also an Acne Facial for cosmetic skincare focused on acne-prone or congested skin, and a Men's Facial designed around men's skin and shaving-related concerns.
What Is a Vajacial?
A Vajacial is an external bikini-area skincare treatment. It is designed to support post-wax upkeep and smoother-looking skin between appointments. The Classic Vajacial focuses on external bikini-area skincare and post-wax maintenance. The Deluxe Vajacial is a more elevated treatment focused on post-wax maintenance, texture concerns, and smoother-looking skin.
Vajacials are external treatments for the pubic mound and bikini-area skin. They are not internal treatments.
Facial vs. Vajacial: The Main Difference
| Factor | Facial | Vajacial |
|---|---|---|
| Treatment area | Face | External bikini area |
| Primary goal | Facial skincare | Post-wax upkeep, texture |
| Common reasons to book | Relaxation, glow, maintenance | Smooth skin between waxes |
| Hair removal included | No | No |
| Relationship to waxing | Separate from waxing | Supports post-wax skin |
Does a Vajacial Include a Brazilian Wax?
No. A Vajacial is a skincare treatment only. It does not include hair removal. If you need hair removal, book Body Waxing separately. Many clients wax first and then use a Vajacial for the skincare that follows.
Which Facial Should You Choose?
If you want a quick relaxation session, the Express Facial is a good choice. The Classic Facial is a great starting point for regular skin upkeep. The Deluxe Facial adds more serum-focused care. For acne-prone or congested skin, the Acne Facial provides cosmetic esthetic care and is not medical acne treatment. And for clients with men's skin and shaving-related concerns, the Men's Facial is built around those needs.
Which Vajacial Should You Choose?
The Classic Vajacial is a good fit for external bikini-area skincare and post-wax upkeep. The Deluxe Vajacial is the more elevated option for clients focused on texture concerns and smoother-looking skin between appointments.
What Results Should You Expect?
Facials can support a fresher, smoother-looking appearance, but one appointment does not permanently remove texture, breakouts, or discoloration. Results vary based on your skin, home-care routine, lifestyle, and consistency. Temporary redness or sensitivity may occur after exfoliation or extractions. The same is true for Vajacials. They support smoother-looking skin, but individual results vary.
