The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Right Facial for Your Skin Type (Toronto Edition)

Looking for the best facial in Toronto for your skin concerns? Whether you’re battling breakouts, feeling dry and dull, or prepping for an event, choosing the right facial can be confusing—but it doesn’t have to be.

At Jade Thread and Wax Bar, our expert estheticians tailor every treatment to your skin’s real needs, combining science-backed techniques with the latest innovations in skincare. Here’s how to match your skin type to the perfect facial—and why our Toronto spa is trusted by thousands for visible, lasting results.

🔍 Step 1: Identify Your Skin Type

Before selecting a facial, knowing your skin type is essential. Here’s a breakdown:

• Oily: Prone to shine, clogged pores, breakouts

• Dry: Tightness, flakiness, sensitivity

• Combination: Oily T-zone, dry cheeks

• Sensitive: Easily reactive, red, or inflamed

• Acne-Prone: Frequent blemishes or congested skin

• Normal: Balanced, but still benefits from maintenance

💬 Not sure about your skin type? We offer free skin assessments before every treatment at both our Danforth and Bayview locations in Toronto.
