If you’ve ever had a facial, you’ll know that it doesn’t just leave your skin feeling amazing—it also gives you the perfect opportunity to relax, unwind and enjoy some well-deserved time for yourself.
Regular facials work alongside your at-home skincare routine to help keep your skin healthy, balanced and glowing. Depending on your skin’s needs, they can help to reduce congestion, improve hydration, support a more even skin tone and soften the appearance of fine lines.
What happens during a facial?
Your facial will usually begin with an eye and lip cleanse, followed by a thorough cleanse of the face. Although daily cleansing is essential, a professional facial provides a deeper treatment to help remove make-up, excess oil and impurities from the skin.
Next comes exfoliation, which removes dead skin cells from the surface of the skin. This helps to brighten the complexion, smooth the skin’s texture and allows the products applied afterwards to absorb more effectively.
Facial massage is not only incredibly relaxing—it also helps to boost circulation, relieve tension and leave the skin looking fresh and radiant.
A face mask will then be selected to suit your individual skin type and concerns. Whether your skin needs calming, hydrating, brightening or balancing, this step allows the therapist to tailor the treatment to you. While the mask gets to work, you can completely switch off and enjoy a relaxing décolleté, neck and scalp massage.
Your facial is then completed with targeted serums, a soothing eye product, moisturiser and, of course, SPF.
Why is SPF so important?
SPF helps protect your skin from the sun’s harmful UV rays, which can contribute to premature ageing, pigmentation and skin cancer. It should be worn every day—even when it is cloudy—and is an essential final step following a facial.
Regular facials aren’t just a luxury. They are a lovely way to support your skin, enhance your homecare routine and give yourself some much-needed time to relax. Your therapist can also monitor changes in your skin and recommend the most suitable treatments and products as its needs change.
Healthy, glowing skin is a journey—and regular professional treatments can be a beautiful part of it. 🤍
