After removing the makeup, Lisa massaged my face briefly before applying a Vitamin C mask. I could feel a slight tingling sensation, but she assured me this was normal. Having kept it on my face for 15 minutes (it boosts collagen production, I was told), she removed the mask only to apply yet another one - Vitamin B5. Known for its hydrating properties, the B5 mask did feel refreshing. She followed it up with the application of a hyaluronic acid cream. Don't let the name frighten you. Apparently, our skin has it already but as one ages, as I have, the skin begins to lose it. The whole purpose of the cream is to firm the skin after a thorough detox.
I liked how the approach to skincare was more academic. There was no promise of an 'instant' glow. The focus is on treatments that heal the skin, and the experts go out of their way to provide a detailed consultation. Chances are you will come out learning more about your skin and its needs!
For a rejuvenating treatment such as this one, I would have preferred a more tranquil ambience. In today's day and age, sitting down for a facial is not just about getting a beauty fix, but also letting yourself a bit loose. Perhaps some relaxing music would be nice.
