Rejuvenate your skin and remove impurities

What is a deep cleansing facial?

A deep cleansing facial is a professional skincare treatment that focuses on thoroughly cleansing the skin by removing impurities, unclogging pores, and rejuvenating the complexion. It involves exfoliation, steam, extraction, and the application of specialised masks and serums. Deep cleansing facials have also been linked to a reduction in acne.

How often can I have it done?

Typically, you would have a deep cleansing facial every 4 to 6 weeks, depending on your specific skin concerns and the recommendations provided by your skincare specialist. If you are grappling with acne or oily skin, this treatment is particularly well-suited for you. It involves the use of a steamer to open up the pores, allowing for effective unclogging. Through a combination of exfoliation and the removal of impurities, we ensure a thorough deep cleanse, even for smaller and less visible pores.
To minimise any discomfort during the extraction process, we use a specialised tool. Following the extraction, we apply a nourishing mask that not only smooths the skin but also provides essential nutrients for its overall health and vitality.

Deep Cleansing Facial Questions & Answers

Who is a good candidate for a deep cleansing facial?

Deep cleansing facials are suitable for individuals of all skin types and conditions. Whether you have oily, dry, combination, or sensitive skin, a deep cleansing facial can be tailored to address your specific concerns.

There are several compelling reasons to choose a deep cleansing facial treatment:

1. Suitable for all: this procedure is ideal for both men and women, regardless of their skin type or condition. Everyone can benefit from a deep cleansing treatment.


2. Expert handling of skin concerns: our skincare specialists possess the knowledge and expertise to effectively deal with issues such as whiteheads, blackheads, and pimple extractions. Attempting to tackle these concerns at home can lead to unwanted scars. However, we use special tools to improve your skin's condition and safely remove these bumps. The professional exfoliation, steaming, and mask application provide a level of refreshment and rejuvenation that cannot be easily achieved at home.


3. Purging impurities: deep cleansing facial treatments are highly effective at removing dead skin cells, toxins, dirt, and excess oil that accumulate on the skin's surface. By eliminating these impurities, the treatment helps prevent the development of skin conditions like acne and premature aging.

4. Stress relief and relaxation: these treatments offer more than just skincare benefits—they also serve as great stress relievers. The inclusion of a face massage during the procedure helps induce a sense of relaxation and pampering, promoting overall well-being.

5. Anti-aging benefits: regular deep cleansing treatments, recommended once a month, are an excellent preventive measure against premature degeneration. They contribute to a healthier and more hydrated appearance, improving blood circulation through the massage component. Furthermore, these treatments enhance the skin's absorption abilities, allowing the rich

vitamin serums and moisturisers used in the procedure to be more efficiently and rapidly absorbed into the skin.
