At A Body In Knead in Bangor, we understand the unique skin and stress needs of college life. Our teen facials and restorative head spas are tailored for local UMaine and Husson University students, as well as junior high and high school students who want gentle, effective skincare and quick stress relief between classes. Using acne-safe products and a licensed cosmetologist, we help teens feel more confident, relaxed, and ready for school — with student-friendly pricing and convenient hours.

Why Teen Facials Are Different Teen skin is often oilier, more reactive, and more prone to breakouts. Teen facials at A Body In Knead focus on:

• Customized treatments using non-comedogenic, gentle formulas.
• Light, safe exfoliation and low-percentage salicylic acid options for acne-prone skin.
• Extractions performed only when appropriate and with aftercare guidance.
• Education on at-home routines to support long-term skin health.

What to Expect from a Teen Facial Our teen facial experience is straightforward and comfortable:

• 5–10 minute consultation to review skin type, medications, and goals.
• Gentle double cleanse to remove oil and classroom grime.
• Light exfoliation and targeted treatment (spot salicylic or calming mask).
• Extractions if needed, followed by a soothing mask, moisturizer, and SPF.
• 30–60 minute sessions available depending on needs (express to full). Parental consent may be requested for minors; please bring any relevant health info or current skincare products.

Head spas are short, therapeutic scalp treatments that complement facials by:

• Reducing tension and stress — perfect during midterms and finals.
• Improving circulation to the scalp, which can help hair and scalp health.
• Alleviating tension headaches and promoting better sleep. Our head spa add-ons are 15–30 minutes and fit easily into a student schedule.

Safe Ingredients & Treatments for Teens We prioritize safe, effective ingredients:

• Recommended: low-strength salicylic acid, niacinamide, gentle AHAs, benzoyl peroxide for spot treatment, soothing botanicals (aloe, chamomile).
• Avoided for teens: high-strength retinoids, aggressive chemical peels, and strong essential oils. Our cosmetologist will recommend appropriate homecare products and patch-test new ingredients when needed.

Student-Friendly Options & Pricing We offer services that work with student budgets and schedules:

• Express Teen Facial — 30 minutes: cleansing, exfoliation, mask, moisturizer + SPF.
• Full Teen Facial — 45–60 minutes: deeper treatment, extractions, personalized routine.
• Head Spa — 60 minutes: scalp massage, treatment, relaxation. Student discount: show a valid UMaine or Husson University student ID for a special rate (ask at booking for current offers).
