Who it suits
Skin Glow is a four-step facial with a finishing mask, for radiant, hydrated skin. It combines gentle cleansing, moderate renewal of the skin, intensive hydration and a serum with prebiotics that supports the natural balance of the skin’s surface. We aim for more than a quick glow: the comfort of your skin and its protective barrier receive just as much of our attention.
This treatment suits you when your skin:
- has lost its glow and looks greyish and tired;
- is dry, lacks moisture and feels tight;
- has become more sensitive and is more easily irritated;
- has fine lines caused by a lack of moisture;
- has been weakened by products that are too strong, by stress, by the change of seasons or by intensive treatments.
Before an important event, Skin Glow is a good choice when you would like a quick glow while still being gentle with your skin.
How the treatment works
We begin with a conversation and a look at your skin. We assess how much moisture it lacks and whether it is sensitive, and ask how you care for it at home and what treatments you have had recently. On that basis we choose the intensity of the treatment.
- Cleansing. We cleanse the skin gently with Cleansing Oil. It dissolves make-up, traces of sunscreen, excess oil and impurities without leaving the skin feeling tight, and prepares it for the steps that follow.
- Renewal. We apply Carbopeel, a preparation that is active yet renews the skin gently. It helps to lift away the build-up of dead skin cells and improve the skin’s texture: the face looks cleaner, more radiant and smoother. Prepared in this way, the skin is more receptive to the hydrating and restorative ingredients of the steps that follow.
- Serum with prebiotics. We smooth on Prebiotic Elixir serum. Its prebiotics help create a favourable environment for the skin’s beneficial microorganisms and support the balance of the skin’s surface layer and its protective barrier. The serum calms and intensely hydrates the skin, so it feels more comfortable. This step is especially important for dried-out and sensitive skin, and for skin weakened by stress or by intensive treatments.
- Cream. We apply Sculpture Cream. It helps the skin retain moisture and strengthens its protective function; the skin looks smoother and feels firmer.
- Mask. We finish with Plump Mask, a hydrating hydrogel mask. It calms the skin, replenishes its moisture and gives the face a plumper, glowing look.
Afterwards we tell you what we noticed and advise you on caring for your skin at home.
Aftercare
Straight after the treatment the skin usually looks cleaner, more radiant, smoother and well hydrated, and the face looks rested and glowing. The feeling of tightness usually eases, and fine lines caused by a lack of moisture may become less noticeable.
Because one of the steps renews the skin, remember to use broad-spectrum sun protection, especially over the next few days. At the end of the treatment we will tell you whether it is best to set any products aside for a while.
How often
You can have Skin Glow before a particular occasion or regularly – in which case it helps to maintain the skin’s hydration, its protective barrier and the natural balance of its surface. After your first visit, we will advise how often to repeat it.
Skin Glow or HY+?
Both treatments are for dehydrated skin. The HY+ facial is built on hyaluronic acid of different molecular sizes, an alginate mask and a firming mask. With Skin Glow we pay closer attention to the balance of the skin’s surface and its protective barrier, so it is especially suited to skin that is not only dried out but also more sensitive, or weakened by strong products. We will advise which to choose once we have looked at your skin.
