Who the detox facial is for
Polluted city air, stress, smoking, irregular meals and too little movement all show in the skin: it looks greyish and tired, the pores become congested, and the skin turns too dry or too oily. The skin detox facial is meant for exactly this kind of skin – for when you would like it to look fresh and clean again, for example after the winter, a trip or a demanding period.
The name is well established in cosmetology, but the treatment does not act on the body as a whole: it works on the surface of the skin and the pores.
How the treatment works
- We remove your make-up and any impurities.
- We exfoliate: with a device, we gently remove dead skin cells and impurities, and the skin becomes smoother.
- We apply a live marine algae mask and leave it on for up to half an hour.
- We finish with a cream mask.
The whole treatment takes about an hour. At the end, we advise you on how to care for your skin at home.
If you are pregnant, taking any medication or have a skin condition, please tell us before the treatment – together we will decide whether it is right for you.
The live algae mask
The Rebalancing Facial Mask is based on natural marine algae: kelp (laminaria) and bladderwrack (fucus). It is highly concentrated and preservative-free. The mask opens the pores and helps clear away impurities, while enriching the skin with minerals, trace elements, vitamins and marine proteins. Afterwards the skin usually looks cleaner and fresher.
Detox as part of other treatments
Detox is also part of several of our other treatments. In the deep-cleansing, ultrasonic and combined cleansing facials, the scrub is followed by a detoxifying mask – an enzyme mask, a live algae mask or a mask with plant enzymes – which softens what is inside the pores and prepares the skin for cleansing. A detox is also part of the facial for acne-prone skin, and many of our facials with professional masks can be combined with a detox and a facial cleanse.
If the pores are deeply congested and there are many blackheads, a detox alone will not be enough – in that case, we recommend a deep-cleansing facial.
Aftercare
A detox facial involves no manual extractions, so afterwards the skin is usually calm and you can go straight back to your day. As after any treatment, use sun protection every day.
How often
To keep the skin fresh, a detox facial can be done twice a month. After your first treatment, we will advise how many treatments your own skin needs.
