My Facial Experience at the Facial Co's new Clinic

After filling out a skin questionnaire regarding my skin type, the skincare products I use, any skin concerns I might have and so on, I was then ushered into the tranquil treatment room.  The room itself was so peaceful and relaxing, with some beautifully scented Ecoya candles burning which just added to the complete overall serene environment.  It features a comfortable chair that reclines to a lying down position with the touch of a button.  The aesthetician studies your skin and not only recommends the appropriate facial but also suggests a complete skin care routine with products suited to each individual’s skin type, which are also stocked in the store so that you may purchase and start your skincare routine immediately at home.

The senior therapist professionally talked me through the products and procedure as we went along.  Firstly, I changed into my plush robe and lay down so that she could examine my skin.  Soon after, the ultimate pampering began with a thorough cleanse.  This was a double cleanse that focused solely on cleaning my skin.  The Alpha- H Balancing Cleanser she used was just so luxurious.  I also received a professional strength enzyme (papaya & pineapple) based exfoliant, which was ever so gentle, after advising me I do not need to manually exfoliate my skin.  Instead, I should use a chemical exfoliant (a product with glycolic or lactic acid, for example) which removes the surface layer of dead skin just as effectively as manual exfoliants, without the potential irritation from the abrasive scrub particles found in the latter. 

Next was the application of a Vitamin C serum, which until now I had not used before.  The therapist acquainted me with the Alpha-H Vitamin C Serum, whilst we discussed the importance of introducing this product into my current skincare regime.  An advanced hydration facial massage followed.  This massage helps blood circulation and relaxes our facial muscles.  I was so relaxed during this stage of the facial, that I nearly dozed off!!  The relaxation continued while the Vitamin C Infusion Treatment Mask was applied and left to set on my face.  During this time, she massaged my hands; this was ever so amazing, just pure bliss.  She then easily removed the mask by peeling it off.  My skin was then treated to a soothing moisturiser, Alpha-H Advanced Hydration Cream to which a few drops of Alpha-H Age Delay Facial Oil were added as a corrective and preventative measure. 

Concluding with a product application that was specifically addressing my skin concerns, the Alpha-H Age Delay Intensive Eye & Lip Treatment.  Lastly, we discussed the most important step of my skincare which is implementing sunscreen, to which Alpha-H Ultra Protector SPF30+ was the ideal selection.

Soothing, nourishing and relaxing would be the best words to describe my experience.  

After my ultimate pamper session, I had a wonderful looking face that seemed to look and feel younger.  The experience of Alpha- H products and realizing the effects they can have on my skin were priceless.  In the mirror, my face looked smooth, had a velvety softness while being completely hydrated with no inflammation, no irritation - just the healthy glow I'd been hoping for.  Even days after the treatment my complexion has appeared brighter and clearer than usual.  It was an invaluable experience and to know that I am now making the right choices for my skincare range and routine that will benefit my skin immensely.
