Etymology

The term 'facial' comes from the Latin word 'facialis', which means 'of the face'. The usage evolved in English to encompass both descriptive and functional aspects related to the face. Originally, it was primarily used in medical contexts but gradually extended into beauty and cosmetic realms as the importance of facial aesthetic treatments grew in the 20th century. With the rise of beauty culture and skin care programs, the word became common parlance. Nowadays, 'facial' is widely recognized in both professional beauty treatments and casual conversations about skin care.
