A pH-balanced milk cleanser at room temperature. No steam, no abrasive pads, no hot towels.
-
Centella + oat calming layer
Anti-inflammatory plant actives that genuinely reduce redness without irritating the skin into compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the sensitive skin facial for?
Anyone whose skin reacts easily — rosacea, eczema-prone, post-procedure skin, hormonal flushing, dryness from over-exfoliation, or simply a thin/reactive complexion. It's also a good first facial if you've avoided treatments because of past reactions.
Will it help with rosacea?
Yes — for the day-to-day calming and barrier support. The facial uses anti-redness ingredients (centella, oat, azelaic-acid-derived actives) and avoids anything that triggers rosacea (steam, heat, harsh acids). Medical rosacea management still belongs with your dermatologist.
Is it safe during pregnancy?
The protocol is generally pregnancy-safe because it avoids retinoids, salicylic acid, and other restricted ingredients. Tell us at booking and we'll confirm the exact products being used. Your OB's guidance overrides ours if there's a conflict.
Can I have this if I've had recent eczema flares?
Wait until active flares have calmed — open or weeping skin is not safe to treat. Once your skin is intact again, the sensitive-skin facial is one of the better ways to support barrier repair and prevent the next flare.
Will you still do extractions?
Only if your skin can tolerate them on the day. Most sensitive-skin clients skip extractions entirely — pushing on reactive skin causes more problems than it solves. We focus on calm, hydrate, repair.
How is this different from a regular facial?
No acids, no enzymes stronger than fruit, no steam, no aggressive extractions. The temperature stays neutral, the pressure stays light, every product is barrier-supporting rather than resurfacing. It's a recovery treatment more than a transformation treatment — and that's the point.
