Facials

What it is

A facial usually combines cleansing, gentle exfoliation, a mask and moisturiser. People book for softer-feeling skin, a thorough cleanse or simply some time to relax.

Your appointment, explained

What to expect

Your therapist asks about your skin, allergies and current products.
You lie back for cleansing, any agreed exfoliation or extractions, then a mask and finishing products. Ask which steps your booking includes.

How it feels

Usually gentle. Extractions can pinch; exfoliating products may tingle. Tell the therapist if anything burns.

Downtime

You can usually return to work straight away. Skin may be flushed or tender after extractions, sometimes into the next day. Avoid trying an unfamiliar facial immediately before an important event.

Results

When you might see a change. Skin may feel softer on the day. A facial cannot promise lasting changes to acne, pigmentation or lines.

How long it might last. The freshly moisturised feel is temporary. How long it lasts depends on the products, your skin and home routine.

How often?

One appointment is a reasonable starting point. Some people choose a visit every 4–6 weeks; there is no medical requirement for a monthly facial. Adjust or stop if skin becomes irritated.

Before your appointment

Bring the names of your skincare products and mention recent peels, lasers or injectables.
Ask about pausing exfoliating products if exfoliation is included.

Aftercare

Keep skincare gentle if your skin feels sensitive; avoid scrubs until it settles.
Use daily sun protection and ask when you can restart active skincare.

Is it right for everyone?

Active cold sores, broken skin, an eczema flare or known product allergies may mean changing or postponing the facial.

What your practitioner will confirm

The clinic should name the facial and confirm extractions, acids, devices and add-ons before you pay. These vary widely between menus.

Treatment details are a general guide. Your practitioner will confirm what is suitable for you, the exact treatment plan and aftercare.
