Facials are a great way to give your skin some extra love and pampering. While classic facials are always a solid choice, it can be fun to try some more unique options as well. Here are four unique facials you should try at least once.
Intraceuticals Oxygen Infusion Facial
One facial treatment that has been growing in popularity is the Intraceuticals oxygen infusion facial. This high-tech facial delivers oxygen, hyaluronic acid, and other nourishing ingredients into the skin using hyperbaric technology.
What is an Intraceuticals oxygen infusion facial? It’s a treatment that uses a special device to push revitalising ingredients along with oxygen into the deeper layers of the skin. The oxygen helps to improve circulation and give the skin an instant plumping effect. Meanwhile, the hyaluronic acid provides intense hydration.
This facial is ideal if you want glowing, deeply hydrated skin. It’s a quick 30-minute treatment that leaves skin looking refreshed and radiant. Many celebs like Madonna and Justin Bieber are said to be fans of these oxygen facials too!
Gold Facial
Gold facials harness the power of gold for anti-ageing benefits. The gold facial includes the application of a gold-infused serum that contains flecks of 24K gold. Gold is thought to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which can help protect the skin from damage.
A gold facial often begins with gentle exfoliation to prepare the skin, followed by a massage using gold leaf-infused oils or creams. A nourishing gold mask is applied next, then finished off with moisturiser containing gold extracts. The gold particles absorb into the deeper layers of the skin to improve elasticity, collagen production, and circulation.
Gold facials deliver an instant luminous glow while providing long-term rejuvenating effects. They also photograph beautifully, making them ideal before a special event.
Bee Venom Facial
Bee venom is emerging as a buzzworthy anti-ageing facial treatment. How does it work? Bee venom contains over 18 amino acids, minerals, vitamins and enzymes that nourish skin. The main active peptide, melittin, acts as a gentle irritant to stimulate blood circulation under the skin when applied topically. This improves collagen and elastin production to help smooth out fine lines and wrinkles.
While it sounds scary, bee venom facials are safe and non-toxic for your skin. You’ll feel a slight tingly sensation when the venom-infused serum is applied. The full facial includes cleansing, followed by mesotherapy to allow deeper absorption of the bee venom, and then a nourishing mask to hydrate.
Bee venom facials are great for mature skin needing some rejuvenation. The lifting and tightening effects can help you achieve a more youthful, glowing complexion.
Pearl Facial
Lastly, add some literal pearls and opulence into your skincare routine with a pearl facial. This luxury spa treatment uses powdered pearl alongside antioxidants, minerals, and amino acids derived from pearl extract to create a nourishing facial mask.
Pearl extract is rich in minerals like calcium, magnesium, and zinc, which are essential for healthy, glowing skin. It also contains amino acids that help retain moisture to keep skin looking plump and hydrated.
The pearl facial ritual also includes a gentle exfoliating scrub containing pearl powder, followed by a lifting pearl-infused mask. The antioxidant and mineral-rich pearl extract helps brighten, smooth, and revitalise the skin. The pearl particles in the mask make it a fun, Instragammable treatment, too!
After a pearl facial, your skin looks more youthful, even in tone, and has a luminous glow. It’s an otherworldly experience fit for royalty.
