Zen Facial in Boston

Who it is for

Burnout, long weeks, new parents, finals, travel recovery, or anyone who needs to disconnect. If you could use a long nap more than a long list of treatments, this is your facial.

What happens during your Zen facial

Breathwork and essential oils to slow you down, then steam, a double cleanse and an expert skin analysis. Your esthetician layers masks and treatment products chosen for your skin, with long, unhurried massage for the face, scalp, neck, shoulders and hands. Ninety minutes, and nobody needs anything from you.

Results and relaxation

You leave with calm, glowing, deeply hydrated skin and a nervous system that finally got a break. There is no downtime, so it is lovely before a weekend or an event.

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

• Plan a quiet evening if you can. Ninety minutes of massage leaves most clients very relaxed.
• Drink water and go easy on alcohol tonight.
• No skincare restrictions and no downtime. Your skin will be glowing and hydrated.

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.
