Deep Pore Cleansing Facial in Boston

Who it is for

Blackheads, congestion, oily or combination skin, and anyone whose skin feels the effects of city air, masks, makeup and long days.

What happens during your deep pore cleansing facial

The 50 minute signature ritual, weighted toward cleansing. After breathwork, consultation and skin analysis, we double cleanse, use enzyme exfoliation and extended steam, then perform thorough extractions. A clarifying mask and twenty minutes of restorative massage finish the visit.

Results

Skin feels clean, smooth and noticeably clearer through the nose, chin and forehead. Monthly visits keep congestion from building back up.

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

• Do not pick or squeeze, even if a pore looks tempting.
• Mild redness after extractions usually settles within a few hours.
• Skip exfoliating acids and scrubs for 48 hours.
• Avoid heavy makeup, saunas and heavy sweating for the rest of the day.
• Use a clean pillowcase tonight and an oil-free SPF in the morning.

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.
