Skincare

A Hydro Facial is a non-invasive treatment designed to cleanse, purify, hydrate and revitalise the skin and it offers gentle exfoliation which is suitable for clients with sensitive skin or those seeking a more nourishing treatment.

The Hydro Facial can be personalised to address your individual skin concerns and combines a gentle peel alongside serums containing active ingredients and botanicals to exfoliate, rejuvenate and nourish the skin.

The peel and serums are applied using a handheld vacuum which allows the ingredients to be delivered into the skin more effectively. The vacuum action stimulates blood flow and lymphatic drainage, promoting detoxification and improving circulation.

The first step of the Hydro Facial will include a peel. The peel is a great first step at achieving glowing, healthy skin and it readies the skin for the serum. The peel contains BHAs and AHAs, chemical exfoliants which gentle slough away dead skin cells.

Here are some of the key ingredients in your peel:
1. Salicylic Acid - A versatile beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that penetrates deep into the pores to unclog and exfoliate away dead skin cells.
2. Mandelic Acid - A gentle alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that activates cell turnover to reveal brighter, clearer skin.
3. Lactic Acid - An exfoliating AHA that promotes the shedding of dead skin cells to soften and smooth the skin.
4. Glycolic Acid - An AHA that exfoliates the skin while maintaining a natural pH balance.
5. Arginine - A fabulous ingredient that speeds up cell regeneration and boosts collagen production for visibly brighter skin.
