A facial is one of the best ways to take care of your skin, especially when it's given by an experienced, knowledgeable therapist.
Our facial treatments clean, exfoliate and nourish the skin, promoting a clear, well-hydrated complexion, and can help your skin look younger.
All our facials begin with a consultation which will cover your skin concerns, your diet, how much water you drink and products you are currently using.
We'll also look whether your skin is dry, oily, sensitive or normal as this can affect what kind of treatment we recommend. Our facials can include any or all of the following but you will advised which treatment/s would be most beneficial before going ahead.
Exfoliation using a mechanical or chemical exfoliant. Mechanical exfoliants have a gritty texture that rubs away the surface dead skin cells. This type of exfoliation usually happens during the steam. Chemical exfoliation uses enzymes and acids to loosen the bond between skin cells. A gentle enzyme treatment can be done during the steam. Stronger chemical peels, which vary in intensity, can be a stand-alone treatment or part of the facial.
Extractions are the removal of blackheads or whiteheads and can be uncomfortable, especially on thin or ruddy skin. Extractions can cause broken capillaries and discoloration if done improperly, so we advise you always use a qualified therapist for this.
Facial massages, facial masks and final application of toner, serums, moisturizer and sunscreen are also available. Your therapist may suggest you try products we stock, but please be assured you aren't obligated to buy anything.
