About This Treatment
The Signature Glow Facial is our answer to skin that looks tired rather than troubled — dull after a long stretch of work, dehydrated after travel, or simply overdue some attention. It is not a clinical procedure and it does not claim to be one. It is a very good facial, done slowly.
We begin under proper light with a short skin consultation, then double cleanse and gently resurface using a lactic acid preparation chosen for your tolerance. A nourishing mask follows, and while it works, your therapist spends fifteen uninterrupted minutes on the face, neck and shoulders. We close with serum, moisturiser and SPF.
Benefits
- Deep hydration — skin feels comfortable and plump rather than tight.
- Improved texture — the gentle resurfacing step smooths the surface without stripping it.
- Brighter appearance — a visible lift in tone that typically holds for a week or two.
- Relaxing facial massage — fifteen minutes of it, which is where most of the tension leaves.
This is a cosmetic treatment. It is not intended to diagnose or treat any medical skin condition, and we will happily refer you to a dermatologist if that would serve you better.
What to Expect
Arrive ten minutes early. You will be shown to the lounge with a cup of tea, then into a private suite where you can undress to the waist and lie under a warm blanket. You keep your own clothing below the waist. The room is quiet, dimly lit, and no one will talk to you unless you want to talk.
Pressure, room temperature and music are all yours to change at any point. Simply say so.

Who Is It For?
Good for most skin types, and particularly for skin that feels dehydrated, dull or uneven. It is a sensible choice before an event, provided you book at least a week ahead rather than the day before.
We would suggest something else if you are currently using prescription retinoids or acid treatments, have active eczema or rosacea flares, or have had a professional peel in the last fortnight. Tell us at booking and we will steer you towards the Calming Sensitive Facial instead.
Aftercare
- Leave skin bare for the rest of the day if your plans allow.
- Skip retinoids, acids and physical scrubs for 48 hours.
- Wear SPF the following day, even if you are mostly indoors.
- Avoid steam rooms, saunas and hot yoga for 24 hours.
- Drink water, and expect the best of the result on day two or three.
