Facial FAQ
What facial products are used in the salon?
We use a professional range from a number of leading health and beauty companies, tailored to meet the needs of your exact skin. If you have particular desires, concerns or allergies, be sure to let us know.
I’m unsure which facial to have. Can you give me advice?
When you schedule your facial, we’ll be more than happy to assist you in determining which facial would be best suited to your particular skin type.
What actually happens during a facial treatment?
Facials generally consist of scrub and a face massage followed by a face mask. You’ll be asked to remove the clothing from the top part of your body and you will be provided with a towel and blanket to cover up. If you have long hair, we would also tie this back to keep it out of the way. A facial treatment is one of the most relaxing and rewarding beauty treatments you can have.
Can’t I just use soap and water?
Soaps are detergent based and can alter the pH level of your skin. While soap is good for cleaning, it is not generally effective for maintaining the youthful appearance of your skin. Soap can strip the skin of its natural protective layer of oil leaving the skin dry and susceptible to bacterial infections and blemishes.
At what age should I start using skincare products and treatments?
A basic skincare routine of Cleansing, Toning and Moisturizing prescribed for your skin type by a professional Beauty Therapist should ideally be started around the early age of 13, but it’s never too late to start.
What’s the difference between professional skincare at a beauty salon or store bought ones?
Professional skincare products and treatments are full of very active ingredients that stimulate and enhance the skin. It’s like the difference between getting your car tuned up compared to just pouring some fuel additive in the tank to try to get the same result.
