Facials that leave your skin glowing

We do, it's the Express Facial. Thirty minutes of cleanse, exfoliate and hydrate, which is what most salons mean by a clean-up or a face clean-up, at $45.

The Classic Cleanse Facial is the longer version at 45 minutes for $40: a deep cleanse with steam, a mask and a facial massage added. Both include extraction where there's congestion. If blocked pores are the main thing you want sorted, the hydra facial is the one built for it.

The Fruit Facial, if dullness is the problem. It's a brightening enzyme facial, 45 minutes for $55, and it's the straightforward answer when skin just looks tired. The Gold Facial does the same job over 75 minutes and is the one to book before an event, $60.

If your skin is dull because it's dehydrated rather than congested, hydration is what you'll actually see as glow, and the hydra facial is the better booking. Tell us which it is when you arrive and we'll say so either way.

A 60-minute facial using the O3+ professional range, finished under LED light. It's the one to book when skin is congested and dull at the same time, which is the gap between a deep cleanse and a brightening treatment. $60.

Dull or dehydrated skin loves the Hydra Facial. Fine lines call for the Anti-Ageing Facial. For tan removal and brightening, choose the D-Tan Facial, and if you're short on time, the 30-minute Express Facial. Unsure? Ask us when you arrive.

Every 4–6 weeks matches your skin's renewal cycle. Before a wedding or big event, book 3–5 days ahead so your skin settles into its full glow on the day.

No, our facials are gentle and non-invasive. At most, mild redness for an hour or so. Skip makeup for the rest of the day and wear sunscreen.

Stop retinol, tretinoin and acid exfoliants three to five days beforehand, and skip scrubs and facial waxing in the days before. Don't book straight after a heavy sun day.

Come with a clean face if you can, and bring the names of any prescription skincare you're using.

Leave your skin alone for the rest of the day: no makeup for a few hours if you can manage it, no gym, sauna or swimming, and lukewarm showers rather than hot. Keep retinol and acids off for two to three days.

Wear SPF the next morning without fail, freshly exfoliated skin burns faster.

Yes, and timing is the thing to get right. Book about a week beforehand rather than the day before, so anything that surfaces after extraction has time to settle.

If it's your first facial with us, don't make it the week of your wedding. Book a trial one a month or two out so we both know how your skin responds. There's a dedicated Bridal Facial at $60 over 90 minutes, and a month-by-month countdown of what to book when.

Occasionally, and it's worth knowing why rather than being surprised. Clearing congestion can bring something to the surface that was already forming underneath. It appears in the following day or two and settles within a few days.

It's more likely on a first facial or if your skin is congested to begin with, and less likely with each regular appointment. Don't pick at it, and it passes.

Usually yes. We adjust the products and the depth rather than turning you away. Tell us before we start so we can pick accordingly.

We'd ask you to wait if you have active cold sores, sunburn, broken skin or an infection on the face, or if you've had a peel, laser or microneedling in the last two weeks. If you take or recently finished isotretinoin (Roaccutane), tell us and we'll book you further out.

Where there's congestion, yes, and only as much as the skin gives up without a fight. Forcing extractions is how people leave looking worse than when they arrived. If you've been told to book a pore cleansing facial, this is the step that does it.

If blackheads are your main concern, the hydra facial is the better booking: it uses gentle suction to draw congestion out rather than manual pressure.

Yes, and the order matters, threading first, facial after. Doing it the other way round means pulling thread across skin that's just been cleansed, exfoliated and left slightly more reactive.

Select both when you book and we hold one longer slot so they run back to back.

The Classic Cleanse at $40 for 45 minutes, and yes. It's a proper cleanse, exfoliation, massage and mask. It just doesn't include the extraction and infusion steps that the premium treatments add.

If your skin is in reasonable shape and you want maintenance rather than a fix, it's the right booking and we'll tell you so.

Please book. Facials take a treatment room for 30 to 90 minutes, so they're rarely something we can fit in on the spot. Booking online takes under a minute and you get an instant SMS confirmation.
