Crystal Clear

Crystal Clear is a range of facials for cleansing, exfoliating and refreshing the skin. Our menu has four options, so you can choose the length and depth that suit you.

The express facial is a short treatment for a quick refresh. The luxury facial is a longer, more thorough session. MDA, short for microdermabrasion, uses a gentle exfoliating tip to lift away dead skin cells and leave the skin looking smoother. The longest option, MDA including Prime & Peel, adds a peel step to the same appointment.

All four are designed to leave the skin feeling clean, soft and ready for your usual skincare. Your therapist will talk you through each step as they go.

Crystal Clear suits most adults who would like a regular, skin-focused treatment, particularly if the skin looks dull, feels rough or is congested. It is a good starting point if you are new to facials.

It may not be suitable if your skin is sunburnt, broken, inflamed or infected, or if you have had certain skin treatments recently. Your therapist will ask about your skin, products and medication beforehand. If you are pregnant, tell your therapist so they can adjust the treatment where needed.

1. Before your treatment

   Your therapist asks about your skin, your routine and any medication, then looks at your skin and agrees which option suits you.

2. During your treatment

   Your skin is cleansed and exfoliated, and the steps for your chosen option follow. MDA feels like a light, slightly scratchy massage. The longer facials usually include time to relax.

3. Afterwards

   Skin often feels smooth and fresh. It may look a little pink for a short while, especially after MDA or a peel.

Apply a gentle moisturiser and a daily sun protection product, as newly exfoliated skin is more sensitive to the sun. For a few days, avoid hot baths, saunas, heavy make-up and strong exfoliating products unless your therapist advises otherwise. If your skin feels sore or looks unusually red, contact the salon.
