Dialogue C

（Having a Facial Treatment）

B：Good afternoon，ma'am．What can I do for you？

A：Good afternoon．I want a facial．But this is the first time I've come here，so can you tell me how you do it？

B： Sure． Most facials start with a thorough cleansing．Then we usually use a toner to invigorate the skin，followed by exfoliation treatment a peeling mask or scrub that re-moves the dead cells that makes the skin look dull．After that，we'll massage your face and neck with oil or cream to improve the circulation and relieve the tension， followed by a mask to moisturize and soften the skin．
