Overview
This treatment is the perfect start for professional facials. It’s main aim is to give your skin a deep cleanse, unclogging your pores leaving your skin clear and refreshed.
It’s suitable for all skin types and combines some of the very best skincare tools and techniques to make sure you look and feel revived.
What does a Cleanse and Clear Facial involve?
Our facial starts with a deep double cleanse to ensure your skin is free from excess oils and debris. This allows us to perform a detailed analysis of your skin to check its condition and determine what will be the best treatment plan for you.
We then apply an enzyme peel which efficiently and quickly removes dead skin cells whilst encouraging new cells to come to the surface, leaving skin looking clear, smooth and soft.
The next stage we steam things up a bit, opening your pores to achieve some manual and ultrasonic extractions. This helps remove blackheads, blemishes and pimples. When this is complete, we will apply a clay mask, specially tailored to your skin, to work its magic before performing a tone. You will then receive 10 minutes of LED light therapy to help remove signs of inflammation and ageing.
We finish the treatment by applying an effective moisturiser/serum and some SPF to ensure this penetrates deep into your freshly revealed skin.
