Brightening Facial in Boston

Who it is for

Dull, tired skin, sun spots, post-breakout marks and uneven tone. A smart choice after a long Boston winter or before a special event.

What happens during your brightening facial

Our 50 minute signature ritual with a brightening focus. After breathwork, consultation and skin analysis, we double cleanse and apply gentle exfoliation and brightening actives chosen for your skin, followed by steam, a mask, extractions as needed, and twenty minutes of restorative massage.

Results

Skin looks brighter and more even right away. Pigmentation fades gradually, so a series and daily sunscreen make the biggest difference.

Before you book

Your esthetician reviews your intake form before every treatment. Please tell us if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have an active skin infection or cold sore, a recent sunburn, or use prescription retinoids or isotretinoin, so we can adjust your treatment. If you have had Botox, fillers, laser or other injections, please wait two weeks before your facial.

Aftercare

• Wear broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every day. Brightening results depend on it.
• Skip retinoids, exfoliating acids and scrubs for 48 hours.
• Avoid direct sun, tanning and saunas for the rest of the day.
• Keep using the brightening products we recommend, morning and night.

Done for you, start to finish

We never hand you a cleanser and point you to a sink. Some spas make you wash your own face before they start. Here, every step is done for you, from the double cleanse to the final massage. Just lie back.
