A good facial should leave you feeling looked after, not just treated. Each of our facials has its own purpose: healing a skin concern, calming your nervous system, releasing tension, or caring for you through pregnancy. Every one is unhurried, personal and guided by what your skin truly needs.

A facial for targeted skin concerns, where our focus is on healing your skin. Nothing is decided in advance. Through conversation and careful skin analysis, we choose the treatment together on the day, guided by how your skin is feeling, what it's been through and what it needs right now. That may include peels, barrier repair, lymphatic drainage, extractions or deep hydration, always with high-performance, skin-supportive ingredients.

-
A 75-minute treatment combining lymphatic drainage with buccal massage, for a more lifted, sculpted and refreshed look. Lymphatic drainage uses gentle techniques to encourage circulation and lymphatic flow, helping to reduce puffiness and fluid retention. Buccal massage works gently inside the mouth to release deep tension, particularly from jaw clenching, and support a more contoured appearance. The treatment begins with a double cleanse and finishes with a hydration mask.

Anyone wanting a deeply relaxing, hands-on facial
Most people feel the difference straight away, both in how relaxed they feel and how refreshed their face looks. Regular sessions help maintain the results.
-
A results-focused facial using Juvenate's ReAwaken Exosome IQ, a New Zealand-made treatment designed to visibly firm, hydrate and refresh the skin. Rather than a microneedling device, it uses fine bio-needles within the product itself to carry its active ingredients into the skin: plant-derived exosomes, collagen peptides, hyaluronic acid and niacinamide. Together, they support your skin's own collagen renewal and elasticity, for smoother, stronger and more radiant skin.
Suited to
Dull, tired or dehydrated skin
Fine lines and loss of firmness
Uneven texture
Anyone wanting a results-focused facial without microneedling
What to expect
At the end of your facial, the treatment is left on your skin as you go home, and stays on for five hours before you gently remove it. You'll feel a prickling or tingling sensation from the bio-needles, which is normal. It's strongest at first and gradually eases over the following 24 to 48 hours. Because of this, it's best to book on a day when you don't have plans afterwards. We'll talk you through exactly how to remove the treatment and care for your skin.

Frequently asked questions
Which facial should I choose?
If you have a specific skin concern, The Salt Prescription is designed around it. If you'd mainly like to relax, choose The Salt Ritual. For puffiness or jaw tension, Salt Sculpt + Detox is ideal, and The Pregnancy Ritual is designed especially for pregnancy. If you're unsure, book a skin consultation and we'll recommend the right one.
What is buccal massage?
Buccal massage is a facial massage technique performed gently inside the mouth, using gloved hands, to reach the deeper muscles of the cheeks and jaw. It helps release tension, especially from clenching, and supports a more contoured look.
Is The Pregnancy Ritual safe throughout pregnancy?
Every product and technique in The Pregnancy Ritual is chosen to be pregnancy-safe. If you have any concerns about your pregnancy, we recommend checking with your midwife or doctor before booking.
Is there any downtime after the Exosome facial?
A little. The treatment stays on your skin for five hours after your appointment, and you'll feel a prickling or tingling sensation that gradually eases over 24 to 48 hours. Most people plan it for a day at home, or before a quiet evening.
Can I have a facial with a skin consultation?
Yes. A skin consultation can be combined with a first-time facial, so you get a full assessment of your skin and a treatment in one visit.
