the best facial in boston

What makes a facial the best

The best facial in Boston is not the trendiest or the fastest. It is the one built around your skin on the day you arrive, by an esthetician who takes the time to understand it.

Five things to look for

• A real skin analysis. Your facial should be chosen after someone looks closely at your skin, not before.
• Enough time. Thirty minute express facials leave little room for massage or personalization.
• Done for you. You should never have to cleanse your own face at a sink.
• Both results and rest. Extractions and actives matter, and so does massage and a calm nervous system.
• A plan for home. Good skin happens between visits too.

How Facial Theory approaches it

Every Facial Theory signature facial is a 50 minute ritual: breathwork, a curated essential oil blend, consultation, skin analysis, double cleanse, steam, mask, extractions as needed, and twenty minutes of restorative massage. One client at a time, with our full attention. When your skin is ready for more, advanced facials include HydraPurge, microneedling and professional peels.
