What is a facial?
A standard facial is a skin treatment that cleanses pores, exfoliates the skin, removes dead skin cells and treats common skin concerns with a face mask used to suit your skin type. It is also a popular spa treatment to pamper and relax.
What happens during a facial?
Each facial begins with a consultation that helps the therapist determine the correct skin care range needed for your skin type and concerns. Once that’s been discussed, the relaxation begins! A standard facial will take 60 minutes and includes:
Cleansing – a superficial cleanse to remove surface dirt, makeup and anything sat on the surface of your face.
We will then evaluate your skin to determine your skin type and complete a map of your face.
Then comes a deep cleanse to remove any makeup, oils and dirt.
Exfoliation – we will then buff away and dead skin cells with an exfoliating scrub and removed with a steamed towel.
Extractions – once the skin has been cleansed, evaluated and steamed we will perform and extraction which will clear individual pores that have become clogged with excess oil or dead skin cells which can form blackheads and acne.
Massage – a facial also includes a massage of the face, neck, upper chest area and the top of the back. 
Masks & More – we will then apply a custom mask whether it be a setting or non-setting mask, depending on the skin type and desired outcome. Whilst the mask is applied to the face we will carry out a hand and arm massage or head and scalp.
Final steps – Once the mask is removed we will apply a toner and moisturiser to leave your face feeling fresh and bright.
What are the benefits of a facial?
Facials improve blood circulation and helps in providing more nutrients and oxygen to the skin. If the regular skin care routing is followed, it can redevelop collagen and slows the aging process. They are also helpful in activating the nervous system which is beneficial in reducing anxiety and stress. If you can keep up the skin care/ facial routine and products, you will notice a big difference in the colour, texture, tightness and cleanliness of your face!
The best fact about a facial is that they are suitable for ANYONE!! We recommend that you continue with the facial treatments every 3-5 weeks and to follow a skin care routine from home. At the end of your treatment we will discuss your skin type, the products that are best for you and how often to use the products.
What do I do after my facial treatment?
Try to follow the recommended routine from home.
Avoid sunbeds and spray tans for at least 2 weeks
Avoid touching the face and applying for at least 4-6 hours.
