Frequently Asked Questions

What can I expect from a facial appointment?
You will start with a consultation so we can understand your skin, your routine, and what you want to achieve. Your facial is then tailored to suit, with comfortable, skin friendly steps and time to relax. We finish with clear aftercare advice you can actually stick to.
Are facials suitable for sensitive or reactive skin?
Yes, facials can be adapted for most skin types, including sensitive skin. Let us know about any allergies, reactions, or products you are using, and we will keep the approach gentle and considered. If anything does not feel comfortable during the treatment, we can adjust straight away.
How often should I book facials for best results?
It depends on your skin goals and how your skin tends to behave, but many people find a regular rhythm works best. As a guide, every four to six weeks suits a lot of clients, with occasional top ups around busy periods. We will suggest a realistic plan based on your schedule.
What should I do before and after my facial?
Beforehand, avoid trying new strong products and heavy exfoliation for a day or two, and arrive make up free if you can. After your facial, keep your skincare simple, avoid excessive heat and intense exercise for 24 hours, and wear SPF if you are heading outdoors. We will tailor advice to your skin on the day.
Can I combine a facial with other appointments?
Often, yes, and it can be a great way to streamline your self care. The key is allowing enough time so your facial still feels unrushed. If you are booking online, add a note about what you would like to pair it with and we will help plan the timing.
