Holistic facials are much more than just a facial.
This is a sumptuous way to treat your skin to a work out, whilst relaxing and soothing your mind. The treatment leaves your skin looking revitalised, refreshed and more youthful. The skin and under lying muscles are nourished, deeply cleansed, soothed and lifted.
At Calm and Clear we use the very best organic and natural skincare products combined with facial diagnosis to tailor each facial according to your specific needs.
There is a cleansing, exfoliation, mask, massage and moisturising part to the treatment. We do not do steam or extractions (as we feel this damages the skin further).
The facial diagnosis uses age old Chinese techniques to unveil any signs of inner health and wellbeing issues and also involves detailed skin analysis to determine skin type. It identifies particular signs in given facial areas - such as forehead, nose, eyes, cheeks, chin - as indicators of issues elsewhere in the body. We believe that beauty comes from within, and that your skin reflects what’s going on inside.
This treatment can be used as a stand alone 1 hour treatment. Alternatively, it can be done in an extremely lavish 90 minute treatment combined with any of the other Calm and Clear therapies, but is particularly good with either Facial Rejuvenation or with Thermo-Auricular® Therapy.

The session starts with an in-depth consultation, where details about your skin type, skin routine and general lifestyle considerations are taken.
The treatment begins with a deep cleanse of the skin and décolleté area. This is followed by a close examination of the skin, using the facial diagnosis. Following the results of this the rest of the treatment is decided – which involves an exfoliation, mask, deep massage and moisturising. The specific products used will vary according to your individual requirements, therefore giving you a bespoke treatment.
The whole treatment does not just stop at the face but includes face, head, shoulders, neck and décolleté area.
The session ends with comprehensive aftercare advice on lifestyle, general health improvements and skin care advice.

Following the facial you will feel a deep level of relaxation and peace. In addition your skin will feel fresher and smoother, and will look clearer and more radiant.
Regular treatments will provide long term benefits and a greater sense of well-being.
The Holistic Facial can be combined with the Facial Rejuvenation massage into the “Ultimate Face Combination”. The whole session lasts for 1 ½ hours, and is an ideal solution for tired or mature skin in need of some attention and a “lift”.
Combined with the Thermo-Auricular Therapy, the Holistic Facial can aid any “blocked” feeling around the head and with any sinus problems.
Ultimately, with the Holistic Facial treatment you should experience a sensual and pleasurable treatment, which leaves you relaxed and revived.
